When talking about the big men of the 2010s, names such as Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, and DeMarcus Cousins come to mind.

Yet, the former NBA MVP could be provided with an incredible opportunity to play in the NBA again after a year in Taiwan.

Former NBA player and current Phoenix Suns announcer, Eddie Johnson was invited to the NBA radio.

The Lakers brutally exposed the Warrior’s lack of size in their conference semifinal defeat. And that could be the reason Dwight Howard is linked with the Warriors.

The Warriors’ front office is doing everything in its power to establish the Warriors as the greatest NBA dynasties of all time. And for that to happen, Curry and Co. must win another NBA title soon.
