The Lakers last won the championship in 2020 at the Bubble Park, when Howard was a member of the team, and now he is optimistic about his former club to win the championship again, and in a recent interview with Basketball Insiders, Howard said: "As long as James stays healthy in the playoffs, it will be very difficult for other teams to beat them in a best-of-seven series." ”

Howard said bluntly: "My hunch in my heart is that the Lakers will win the championship this year, and I predict that the Finals combination will be the Lakers vs. the Cavaliers!" ”

In addition, Howard also praised Lakers head coach Redick for his coaching skills, "I like the current way the Lakers are playing, and I also appreciate that JJ has stayed focused throughout the season and has not let the outside noise affect the team. ”

Commenting on the impact of the Doncic trade, Howard noted: "The Luka trade really gave them a lot of strength, and I think they can go very far in the playoffs. ”
