Dwight Howard Drops Bombshell on Lakers Exit, Blames LeBron for His Departure

HonkMagazine

Dwight Howard has stirred things up again with some surprising statements. In a recent episode of his podcast, Above The Rim with DH 12, Howard shared that a heated moment with LeBron James might be why he wasn’t brought back to the Lakers after their title win. During his chat with former Miami Heat player Mario Chalmers, who also had issues with LeBron on the court, Howard recalled a specific incident that may have affected his future with the Lakers. It happened during the 2019-20 season when tensions were high, and Howard, in the heat of the moment, snapped at LeBron, telling him to “stop acting like a b*tch.”

Howard acknowledged that his words didn’t go over well. He explained, “I said that one time, and I was off the team.” This altercation occurred after their championship win during a defensive play. He said, “I was like, ‘Yo, you gotta get back,’ and [LeBron] got mad because I said something.” LeBron is known for commanding a lot of respect in the league, and Howard’s story suggests that crossing him might have serious consequences. While it’s unclear if this specific conversation was the reason for Howard’s departure, it’s evident that his bluntness didn’t help his case.

This revelation adds a new element to the ongoing discussions about LeBron’s influence on team decisions. Some may see it as an example of players having too much power, while others might view it as just how locker room dynamics work. In a league where relationships often determine how long players stay with a team, this may have hurt his chances of remaining in Los Angeles. One has to wonder if that one comment did him in or if his fate was already set in stone.

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”

Mamas Gun

Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.

“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.

Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”

Bromsen

Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.

“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.

The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.

“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
