Things just keep getting better for Allyson Felix.

The American gold medalist in the 200 meters was born in Los Angeles and is a big Lakers fan. So hearing reports that the Lakers added star center Dwight Howard in a trade with Orlando gave her a big boost.

"Woke up to find out Dwight Howard is coming to the Lake Show!" she tweets. "Yep ... Today is gonna be a good day."
