He's going the Shawn Kemp route.
When he was on the Magic, he was an absolute monster. The best Center in the game... only Bynum came close. Took them to the finals in 2009 I believe (don't feel like looking it up).
But then injuries happened...
Then he quit on the Lakers...
Then more injuries happened....
and now he is a s of his former self, can barely play 30 minutes, his stats are regressing, and he's leading a team to a crazy disappointing season.
He's clearly not that all-time great center everyone projected him to be, but is he a disappointment? Is he still a top 10 center of all time? Top 15?
He's going the Shawn Kemp route.
And he's not a top 10 center of all time
As someone who carried Kirby to the playoffs
A lazy, en led Shawn Kemp. Never worked on his game. Not a leader. Definite disappointment.
A really good player whose peak career was shortened by injuries.
Not great, but really good.
Never developed his game to compensate for his decline in athleticism
Another lazy player that got by on athleticism with subpar skill playing in probably the weakest era of all-time for centers. If he had any work ethic whatsoever he could have dominated this league.
He was never the same after his back injury & surgery... The strangely ironic thing is he tried to play through the pain when his back was first injured and made it worse, making what was probably a relatively typical herniated disk tear open and become a major issue.
not true. kirby didnt appear in a playoff game that year
He's the Alonzo Mourning of his era.
Give me Zo ...he has more heart than Dwight. better jumper too ... and better defender.
Dwight was a better PnR player & a much better rebounder. They are both about equal when it comes to help defense; Zo used to get sonned by old ass Ewing when he was in his prime.
He peaked early and looked destined to crack top 5-7 alltime center, but his ugly overall character reared its head: too lazy and unserious, a certified mental midget and a true man-child..the injuries did the rest to cut short his prime years and lower his ceiling..At 29, he is borderline damaged goods and only third or 4th banana on a Championship team..His next contract will tell whether he actually still care about winning.
He's going to sign with whoever offers him max tbh,
most likely.. assuming he opts out or leave Houston (Nets or Boston? DallasHe's going to sign with whoever offers him max tbh,
Sounds like Derrick Rose too...
If Dwight didn't burned bridges with LA fans, I can actually see the Lakers offering him a sweet 4yr/max deal, sadly.most likely.. assuming he opts out or leave Houston (Nets or Boston? Dallas
He'll get his money tho, teams will throw money at him.
I'll always remember him for ing underage es who look like Colin Kraepernick
Here she is again posing w/ Ervin Jr..
He won't be..
If they put that guy in the hall of fame, they should close the place down..
In a nuts .
As just another that couldnt cut the mustered in LA. Shaq, Bynum, Pau and Howard couldnt live up to Kobes standards.
A mental midget
A Better version of Joe Barry Carroll
