For the next instalment of Throwline Thursdays, we honour the iconic Dwight Howard.
Playing 18 seasons of the NBA, Dwight Howard has created quite a lineage from himself on the hardwoods. Kickstarting his career with the Orlando Magic’s 2004 to his crowd-pleasing performance in the 2008 NBA Dunk contest, and who could forget when he bagged Defensive Player of the Year for three consecutive years between 2009-2011.
To commemorate Dwight Howard's mastery of the game, we'll take you back to this memorable moment from 2019 when he was donning the purple and gold of the LA Lakers. In this particular game LeBron James, a revered figure in Lakers history, showcased his basketball genius by executing a sensational leg pass to Howard. With lightning speed, Howard sprinted towards the Throwline, took flight, and executed a jaw-dropping dunk that sent NBA enthusiasts into a frenzy.
This spectacular play unfolded during the 2019-2020 season, where the LA Lakers set the tone with a commanding 122-101 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. However, it was this gravity-defying moment that etched itself into the memories of basketball fans worldwide.
Let’s look at this head-turning moment below:
