Dwight Howard suggested that LeBron James may have something to do with his Lakers exit nearly five years ago.

Dwight Howard, one of the Orlando Magic's all-time greats and a future Hall of Famer, recently took a shot at LeBron James over his exit from the Los Angeles Lakers.

Former NBA star Dwight Howard did not resign with the Lakers after he helped the franchise win a title, and he claims one of his ex-teammates is responsible.

Dwight Howard was a big reason the Lakers won the championship in the bubble back in 2020. But despite finishing ninth in Sixth Man of the Year voting that season, the eight-time All-Star was sent packing the next year.

Howard recently revealed that he was let go by the Los Angeles Lakers for calling LeBron a bad word. Howard and former James teammate Mario Chalmers were on a podcast together, and Chalmers was asked what he would say to James when they had a conflict while playing together.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft is making a big claim this week about the No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. On the latest episode of his podcast “Above The Rim with DH 12,” eight-time NBA All-Star center Dwight Howard spoke out on his time with the Los Angeles Lakers.
