The Los Angeles Lakers' journey over the past decade has been tumultuous, starting with high hopes after acquiring Dwight Howard in 2012.

Injuries and Kobe Bryant's injury marred the season, leading to regrets for Howard about leaving LA early. He later joined the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks, facing ups and downs.

Eventually, he found redemption with the Lakers during the 2019-20 season, helping them secure their 17th championship.
