Stop the CAP Dwight was a defensive Juggernaut.

[michaelsprinkle]

Dwight also is in tremendous shape. Actually better shape now then he was a couple years ago. His diet and strength and 3 point shooting is under estimated.

[zoltanzukaly]

1. Jokic is much better now than he was in 2020.
2. Dwight fouled the crap out of Joker (so did McGee) in 2020, and the refs simply swallowed their whistle.

[rareview]

They need to stop one of the greatest defenders ever ! Dwight is the ONLY player to win Defensive Player of the Year 3 years in a row and he was a 1 man defense! Orlando had the best defense in the league based on Dwight. He proved that against jokic who averaged 20 9 and 7

[slobodankarapandzic]

He studied Joker games alongside with reffs, and they make a deal . Reffs put bets against Nuggets
That amount of missed calls is similar as against Kings vs Lakers 2000's

[raybrown]

Lakers should have brought Howard back. He causes problems on the offensive glass and he dunks everything around the basket. He was very successful against Denver.

[rachhk]

2020 Jokic averaged 20 during the regular season and 24 during the playoffs. He was still struggling when to be agressive. The year after went to 26 in the regular season and 30 in the playoffs. He has averaged 30 points every year in the post season since then, far more agressive. Dwight played Jokic the last time in 2022 and Jokic scored 38. And the real reason Jokic didn’t win in 2020 was because of the refs. They put him in foul trouble and called nothing for him. Dwight did nothing special against him

[BattleTruth]

Dwight and Rondo will take any contender to the next level. Experience> Age
A young team like okc or Minnesota could use Dwight

[franktlloyd]

If the Lakers had agreed to sign Dwight Howard for 2Mil, just to defend The Joker, he could've help stop that man, now the Lakers ready to get swept again 2024

[toniosoflyy]

We can still bring him back to La. It’ll cause Jokic nightmares from 2020. I don’t care what y’all say about LA’s situation

[kevinp.]

Guarantee gordon not getting all those damn rebounds if Howard was out their

[samuelsellene]

I wish the Lakers had you right now D12!!

[seancrowley]

Dwight can’t even stop Kitty…what makes him think he can stop Jokic?🤔

[ronnieprice-ozhy]

Hold up wait a minute Dwight Howard is not Superman. Big Shaquille O'Neal is the real Superman so you guys needs to stop calling him You Feel Me

[michaelsprinkle]

Keywords (Contain) Dwight is and was the only one who could really Contain Joker. It's not a surprise though. Dwight is a I believe a 2 time defensive player of the year winner, 2 times shots block leader as well and 5 time rebounding champion.

[connorh]

Lol he says he "studied" jokic "all summer acting like that was his focus - this was literally 2 years before Jokic won his first MVP. The bubble was the first time Jokic really put himself on the map. Absolutely no chance that dwight had this year-long emphasis on stopping Jokic.

And please, there is zero chance Dwight Howard is doing anything in 2024 against Jokic besides getting COOKED. Jokic cooks the absolute best defenders in the NBA, including soon to be 2024 DPOTY Gobert. Yiu cant sit here and tell me dwight howard cant find a job in the NBA and somehow is going to do a better job against Jokic than the DPOTY. Stop it. I respect Dwight and he was a beast but gtfo with this take 😂

[justinramos]

lol what makes you think dwight can guard jokic today . 1st of all jokic is much better today than when he was in the bubble and 2nd you cant even guard sam deguara in taiwan he absolutely destroy you..

[ticowrenfroonline]

Man I don't know why you and Rondo and Caldwell Pope, Alex Caruso not on the Lakers right now. Palinka/Sylvester Stallone trippen, dat would have been a 18-peat

[drinkwaterolddriver]

That's why he was 2 time DPOY. He studies his opponents

[HULK]

And he doesn't mention the help of JaVala McGee and AD, and on top of all that REFEREES vs young Jokic, all that against a young not yet created Joker hehehe, before you finished in Taiwan, that studying didn't help you, because I remember that spinning under the hoop, he embarrassed you before he sent you to the Taiwanese Pension.
