LeBron James speaks upon Dwight Howard's role with the Lakers vs Nuggets

LeBron James has spoken upon his teammate Dwight Howard's role at Los Angeles Lakers after the club's 105 - 96 win over Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. This season Howard is averaging 7.0 points, 6.9 boards, 1.4 blocks, and 0.8 assists per game, shooting at 73.8% from the floor. During the Nuggets match he posted 13 points (on 5-8 shooting), grabbed six boards, and blocked two shots. Speaking on Howard's game and role at the club, James told per Los Angeles Times: "Throughout Dwight’s career, he’s been a guy you bring the ball down and you throw to him in the post and everybody works off of him. Now he’s a screener. He’s a roller. He’s a guy who facilitates the offense if you pass it in to him. He gets the ball to the guards and he waits for his opportunities and he’s basically been great in that role. And that’s all just about growth mind-set. And that’s for the whole team. He gives us a lob threat at the rim. He puts pressure on the defense, gives us extra possessions. He can block shots and is able to battle on the post against certain bigs. He was a big lift for us tonight." Lakers next NBA rivals will be Utaj Jazz tomorrow.
