3 of them attempt to block guys who try to put them on the end of posters
i have yet seen d12 attempt to block guys who wanna dunk on his face
Of course he is. The Lakers' offense is so damn annoyingly erratic that it seemingly makes it impossible for D12 to get into the flow of the game. My boi Kobe gets caught in the act of being the hero too much that it derails whatever flow we got on offense.

Wait, so Orlando should have done the Brooke Lopez trade?
Brook Lopez is much better than all the they got for Howard.
tbh the spurman can't fly no more with a broken back. he used to be legit but the current version of him is no finer then the after-surgery robinson, he may still look decent playing alongside a great player (like the prime duncan) but not when he's counted as the main guy tbh
First of all Howard is not Shaq. Only dumbs could believe he would have the same impact
Shaq was arguably the most dominant center of all-time. He was bigger and stronger. He could only had a couple of moves but he was unstoppable.
Is Howard a top10 today? I'd say yes. But in the NBA today the level is low. There are not 10 or 15 players clearly ahead of the rest . There are not franchise players like 10 or 15 years ago. Today you could change the top10 every week.
Only LeBron and Durant are miles ahead of the rest.
Is his back problem really that serious and hampering so much ? IIRC, Robinson back problem is very chronic, and exarcebated with his rather small waist that putting more stress to that back problem, CMIIW.
Back issues never really go away. Once the problem starts no amount of rehab or other invasive treatment can truly correct the problem.
wtf? Of course he is.
Look at the team Dwight got to the finals. There aren't more than 2 or 3 players at most who could have done that, even beating lebron on the way. So yes he's top 10, despite his struggles
Disagree. All of Orlando's wins in the ECF saw them get stupid hot from deep, which had nothing to do with Dwight. And no, he wasn't finding shooters out of double teams with precise passes. Typically a great big makes the game easier for shooters, but in Orlando, the reverse was true. Cleveland was so paranoid about defending the 3, Dwight had an ocean of space inside to do his monkeyball thing. And even then, Magic role players didn't go to him in key moments. Lewis, Alston, and even Mickael in' Pietrus were taking all the big shots.
Then Dwight met a Phil Jackson coached team in the Finals, and we Spurfans know Phil won't overplay outside shooters, preferring to pack the paint and shut down the middle. The result was Dwight looking less like Hakeem and more like DeAndre Jordan. A true great big man would've eviscerated a banged up Bynum and Pau Gasol, but alas, Dwight couldn't even shoot 50% against them.
No monkeyballers are top 10 NBA players. They might be overbearing physically but they break mentally very easily and do stupid in crunch time to draw technicals, plus they cannot hit a FT for . Genetics is the only thing these guys have going for them, there's basically zero fundamentals. If Howard had Pau's savvy, the Lakers would be undefeated.
you be re ed not ta say he is, he defense picking up. problem is we not usin him right, no pick n rolls and pringleface having offense run through Kobe n other shooters instead gasol n Dwight.
just cuz ya use a hammer poorly dun mean the hammer bad. if lakers start giving Howard mo shots n box out more, he get similar stats as he did in magic. we got no hope playing like this, ain't no player fault, all shooters taking too many shots n bigs only playing D
I agree with your sentiments on Howard's psyche, but his genetics are good enough to make him top 10 imo. Lucky him
