That's great, but we all know how good D-Rob was, even if you don't want to admit it. Hakeem was just a little bit better, but not a whole lot better like people think from that one series.
Oh, and D-Rob would take Dwight Howard to school.

Dwight lead his team to a Finals, beating a heavily favored opponent in the ECF to boot. D-Rob got butt ed at home in his WCF matchup, and failed to ever lead his team to a Finals in a grab-bag WC.
That's a fact, not opinion. Stings, don't it?
It doesn't sting, because it is a pathetic take.
Did Howard face a prime Olajuwon with clutch 3 point shooters all around him when the Magic went to the finals?
D-Rob would completely and utterly destroy Howard.
Howard isn't anywhere near Olajuwon, O'neal or Robinson.
Go and get excited over your Howard signing, but don't come in here all delusional.
I presented facts, you presented opinions. Try again, Johnny.
Dwight=led team to Finals.
DRob=never led team to Finals.
It's an indisputable fact. Sorry, slugger![]()
Nash never made it to the finals, does that mean Derek Fisher is better than him?
Going for the Trent Dilfer defense this early?
Derek Fisher is not a star, he is a role player. Dwight Howard is a star (nobody disputes that), as was D-Rob. We're comparing stars. One led his team to a Finals while the other didn't.
I'm sorry you can't accept this.
Walk away, son. Ya got baited.
I can and I did. Which is it, genius? Are you a newbie, or are you an expert on my "posting history"? I hope you are a newb and you are talking out of your ass, because you really aren't very good at this. Not sure how I offended you seeing as how I have not a clue who you are and have never directly addressed you, but you have some issues that can't be resolved on a basketball forum. You seem angry and somewhat abnormally obsessed with sexuality. I hope you get the help you need and wish you the best.
playing the obsession card = that's when you know you've wwon an internetz argument!
supporting RJ
riding his aids infested wiener
DPG wannabe with the "i can help you and wish you the best" bads
horrible ing poster with a cuckingfunt-esque posting style
Resorting tolists = avoiding your issues or having an point
Claiming to be a newbie, but "knowing" everything about every poster on the board
I am not qualified to help you and I never claimed I could.
You calling out someone else for being a horrible poster like anyone gives a about your opinion.
Taking this way too seriously, tbh.
Trolling aside, you're trying to say that Dwight is better because his team made the finals. That's not a fact either, just trolling on your part.
Trying to tell me that I don't accept that he's better because of that fact is PLAIN RE ED. Dwight got clutch performances from other teammates, he didn't do all the work himself. If it wasn't for clutch games/shots from Hedo, Howard never would have made it to the finals. Something Robinson's teammates never came up with. None of those teams that they beat were better than the '95 Rockets, you could even say the Lakers who beat them in the finals weren't as good as the '95 Rockets.
As for who the better player is, that can only be discussed by people's opinion because there is no facts that say someone is better than anyone else.
Either way, opinion or not, Prime D-Rob is a better player than Howard.
LOL Dwight Howard in the land of the weak ass Centers. He is second rate in the Hakeem and D Rob Days, period. Dude is good yes but he is not a great player like they were stop it clown.
D ROB in his prime was light years ahead of your little new baby Howard, stop your bull troll..... Howard is limited offensively, D Rob was a way better scorer on any level and Howard would tell you that as well. Respond back I will laugh, I will laugh in your ing face and drink a beer and laugh again.
David is a wee bit more accomplished doncha think??Double D should ask Dwight, and Durant for that matter, if they'd like to trade their " I led my team to the Finals, once, before I got ass raped on national television" ring with Hall of Fame member, David Robinson's NBA Championship rings.
![]()
DRob's game was first built on athleticism like Dwight and he was still more athletic.
David Robinson won rings the same way Bill Cartwright won rings. Congrats, I guess.
Yeah but DRob woulda probably gotten there if he hadn't had to face Dream.
Do you think Howard woulda got past Hakeen with his one post move? Didn't think so.
Thanks, I guess. Kobe. Lebron, and many of the best in the game have faltered mightily without the right supporting teammates. I'd get your point if we were talking about fencing. Perhaps Pippen and David make a better analogy than Cartwright and David, as David was a leader on and off the court. Then again, who knows what the Bulls would have looked like without BC.
In the end it's about winning.....and the Hall Of Fame of course. Dwight is not a first ballot HOFer......yet.
Yes you are right. He was better on offense too overall, way better jumper.
He never led them to anything but playoff failure. All the "He was our spiritual leader!!" happy horse means nothing. It's how you lead on the court. Luckily for the Spurs, though, they drafted a true leader in Tim Duncan--who saved Davey's ass.
And so far, Dwight has won rings the way Karl Malone won rings....![]()
I guess the same applies to Kobe then.
Missing playoffs
1st round exit
Another 1st round exit
Cool, a Kobe joke! lol ambchang
I don't give a , b/c I don't worship him. You, otoh, have Robinson's jammed down your throat.
He's a loser. Clyde Drexler, Barkley, Dream, Cokehead Shawn Kemp, and Mailman all lead their respective teams to the Finals. D-Rob could not b/c he was made. Get over it.
More like, he didn't have nearly as many chances as the vast majority of them. People forget, but Robinson really only played seven seasons (he played six games in the eighth) before Duncan arrived. You look at how long it took the majority of the players you mentioned to make it to the Finals and other than Olajuwon, they all took either as long (in Kemp's case) or longer (in every other case) and other than Drexler, they all had another legit star on their team, something Robinson never had until Duncan arrived.
Maybe Robinson was just the Garnett of his era and it didn't matter how many chances he had as the lead player, he wasn't going to break through. Partially because of certain flaws he had, partially because of the lack of talent surrounding him. But he was such a physical specimen and statistical beast that it would be ridiculous to say unequivocally that he could not at least get to the Finals.
At this writing, I don't see any argument for Howard being better than Robinson. Robinson was as good or better at everything other than rebounding, as the advanced stats bear out. And many of the flaws Robinson possessed, Howard does too. It's not like you can say, Howard was a better leader, or more of a "warrior" or better in the clutch, etc.
He only played seven seasons w/o Duncan, of which his ppg dropped from the regular season to the playoffs EVERY year. Way to show up when it matters, Davey..."bu-bu-but he had a bad team!" Yes, the same team that had no problems winning 55-60 games every year in that same WC. Matter of fact, Davey has lost 3 or 4 playoff series where he had HCA.
He's a nice guy. He quotes scripture. He loses playoff games.
