It sounds like Dudley loved L.A.’s passionate fan base during his time with the team. Additionally, it sounds like he enjoyed playing alongside superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Of course, it also looks like the Lakers’ 2020 championship was a very special achievement for him. Dudley’s decision to end his playing career was likely made easier by the fact that he managed to win a title during his playing career. Every player wants to accomplish that goal.
During his time with the Lakers, Dudley averaged just 1.3 points per game over limited minutes. However, the consensus was that he was a great player to have in the locker room.
For his career, Dudley averaged 7.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He was a solid player during his prime years. He will now look to make an impact in his new role with the Mavericks.
