Not even close.
i aint sure,Discuss!!!
Yes he is
It's been 16 years, and SHaq still doesn't know hot to shoot FT's
Plus, young Howard on D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> young Shaq on D
offensively no, defensively yes (tho dwight is not close to great on defense, still waaayy better than shaq was/is)
Offensively no way.
I always used to say Shaq would suck with out his size and athletic ability, but Howard has almost no moves on offense at all. If they both had no athleticism then I might have to say Shaq is the most skilled player between the two.
I will say though that Dwight is a lot better on defense, but that might be only due to Shaq not giving a about defense as much.
Dwight Howard though can still learn and work hard to get better than Shaq, but he still has a ways to go to get on Shaq's best level offensively.
u guys are underrating a young Shaq on defense. Though he wasn't as good as Howard he was still an intimidating force on D, Howard gets the nod but not by much, and offensively Shaq has him beat by a mile only because i've never seen a player as unstoppable as The Diesel was in his prime
What do you guys think of my take though.
If each guy weighed about 240 and didn't have the same athletic ability they have who is the more skilled player? Would Shaq still be more skilled? I'd say yes.
If you took two pregnant women, had one abuse cocaine during her pregnancy and the other abuse ecstacy, which baby would be more ed up?
I'd go with the Meth kid being more ed up. Tweak seriously s you up in the long run. I haven't seen my mom in like a year cause of that .
lmao! :]
First of all rofl.
Second of all, he said cocaine. Not meth.
Third of all the Ecstasy kid.
this is a stupid question. its not even close
What does "abuse" mean? What does "abuse" mean in the context of MDMA?
And, the answer to your question is almost certainly the one taking the stimulant, whether it's cocaine or methylamphetamine or caffeine. Bad analogy.
Whether the crack baby would be more stupid than LeBronMVPjames is, however, an open question.
What a stupid ass question.
Shaq never won a game in the Finals with the magic and as the main guy... Dwight has just done that... Dwight > Young Shaq
Shaq's offensive talents far outweigh Dwight's defense. It is Shaq at this point until Dwight wins the series.
Where's Epic Fail?
I 200% agree
Plus, people tend to forget that there was no Zone Defense back in the days, and it was easier for Shaq to operate 1-on-1
Dwight > Young Shaq
No, but he does have a better supporting cast and is playing a weaker team than Shaq did in the Finals
Guess who made the NBA change zone defense to become legal. It was Shaq's dominance that forced the NBA to do so.
Ive been watching Dwight closely.............and he has NO offense other than layups, dunks and super short hook shots. I have yet to see Dwight hit a 8ft-12ft jumper. He has no foot movement, and when he does move, he tries to go to the hole only. He either cant shoot or is afraid to, and that right there limits his game and places Shaq squarely above him. At least IMHO.
Huh?
The above in bold describes Shaq's offensive game to a tee. Please tell me the last time Shaq shot a face up 8-12ft jumpshot. C'mon your giving Shaq way too much credit dude.
Shaq's success was because of his combination of strength and girth. Howard has upper body strength, but doesn't have nearly the girth Shaq had to move players out of his way. That's the only difference I see in their offensive games.
