Congratulations to Dwight Howard on his third-team All-NBA selection! We knew he’d bring the hardware to Los Angeles!

Dwight Howard isn’t the brightest bulb in the house.

Here’s Harrison Barnes of the Golden State Warriors modeling the team’s new alternate jersey - with sleeves! This is another questionable ambitious Adidas design, after this year’s special Christmas uniforms. The material is supposed to be 25% lighter, but the combination of t-shirt top and pinstriped shorts gives the whole ensemble a real “laundry day” look. Perhaps this new uniform is designed to appeal to 2013 free agent Dwight Howard, who loves sleeves of all kinds, and might take the court with a full Spandex cat burglar outfit under his jersey by the end of the year. Or, it will be a nice transition for undershirt-loving college kids on their way to the NBA. Patrick Ewing would have loved this jersey, and the added sweat absorption might have changed the course of his entire career.

What’s more embarrassing - the Lakers’ 0-3 start, or Dwight Howard’s purple dumb purple arm sleeves? Trick question, the truly embarrassing sleeves will come later, once Dwight debuts his Christian Audigier-designed skull-print sleeves at the All-Star break.

Pau Gasol has no idea how Dwight grows those odd lumps in his arms.

Oh, by the way, it’s happening…

And there it is, Lakers fans, your 2012-13 starting five. 

Will this team win a title this year or follow in the footsteps of the 2004 Lakers?
