Agreed. Nelson, Turk, and Rashard Lewis were hitting all the big shots in '09 while Dwight was turning the ball over and fumbling over himself trying to make a post move.

Also very overrated in the pick-n-roll.

Nelson was injured in 2009. He was the man though in 2010 when Dwight couldn't do shit against Boston.

Correct. '09 and '10 kind of blended together for me.

The Magic were a top 3 defensive team for years, despite the majority of their players being poor defenders, tbh..Howard was a one-man defense..

They were a pick and roll team that succeeded mostly due to the attention that Howard demanded, and in trn, he succeeded due to their spacing..the system was perfect for both parties, but there wasn't another big in the NBA that could have fit as seamlessly as Howard did..

However, as I've said for years, Stan Van Gundy is a solid and underrated coach that has an unjustified reputation due to the actions that took place in Miami..

Luckily for Orlando, Jacque Vaughn is the best Black coach in the NBA, from what I've seen so far..

But ... but ... but ... just like Kobe, ESPN and the rest of the sports media have told us that they are the most important players on their teams! Haven't you seen how many top-10 plays highlight reels both of them have been on? Fancy plays are all that matters and what sells jerseys in China so keep on showing those posterizing dunks by Howard against the Bobcats. The kids love it.

Do you know you could do the same shit with:

1. Tim and Manu
2. Kg and Pierce
3. Shaq and Kobe
4. Kareem and Magic

All great players and all of those bigs are greater than Dwight, but in the clutch they passed out of double teams and the other star took. advantage. Dwight has flaws but this thread is stupid.

I was saying russel is vastly overrated, only kobrick, more so in history of the nba. I mean, is it hard to be monkeyballing in an 8 team league against 6'0 honkeys?
