Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss made headlines over comments about Dwight Howard‘s first tenure with them during the 2012-13 NBA season.
Surprisingly, Buss came to Howard’s defense, saying the Lakers brought in a head coach with a bad system, causing him to spurn Los Angeles in 2013 NBA free agency.
Howard’s return to Los Angeles and subsequent remarkable season has been one of the team’s best stories as his mindset is completely renewed after a few difficult seasons in the NBA. He has been a vital role player for the Lakers and was rewarded by getting his contract fully guaranteed in January.
