Hey, Magic fans, Dwight Howard may finally win a championship in Orlando! | Commentary

Not only that, but — taking a deep breath — I am genuinely OK with Dwight winning a championship with the spoiled, hated, “We don’t build championship rosters, we steal our superstars from other teams” Los Angeles Lakers.

Of course, this isn’t how it was supposed to happen. More than a decade ago, Dwight was one of the biggest superstars in the NBA and purportedly going to lead the Orlando Magic to a franchise-first championship. Now, he is a role-playing reserve center for the Lakers, trying to win his first title inside of Orlando’s Disney bubble.
