Live Bar, October 17 -recently, free agent Dwight Howard visited The All The Smoke podcasting program, during which he talked about his back surgery in 2012 and The criticism of Lakers fans.
After entering the league, Howard’s athletic ability and internal dominance left a deep impression on everyone, and some even compared him with Shaquille O’Neal, a Hall of Fame member. Unfortunately, the injury became a stumbling block on Howard’s way forward. In April 2012, Howard underwent back surgery. In order to adapt to the Lakers quickly, he returned to the stadium after only four months of rest.
“You don’t know how serious the operation was, and you don’t know what’s wrong with my back. I was almost paralyzed, so it was a very serious injury.” Howard said, “I returned to the stadium after 4 months of rest. I can score 22 points and grab almost 13 rebounds. In the second half of the season, I had the largest number of rebounds and the second most in cap. Lakers fans said that my performance in that season was very bad, which was the reason for the team’s failure. What’s going on?”
During the 2012-13 regular season, Howard played 76 games for the Lakers, contributing 17.1 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.4 cap in each game.
