Dwight Howard basically stopped improving in 2009

Once Hedo carried him to the finals in 2009 it was like Dwight just threw his hands in the air and said fukk it, this is as good as it gets for me.

Dude is a offensive liability at this point. It's taken the Rockets all of 3 games to realize he has almost no post moves and that if you pass it to him in the post, he'll usually turn the ball over before he even gets a chance to unleash the 1 or 2 moves he does have down low.

Don't tell me how lethal he is on the pick and roll, cuz he hates doing it. :heh: Dude thinks he should be getting fed in the paint, but yet he had the chance to work w/ Kareem last year and turned it down. This year Rockets fans thought he was gonna be tutored by Hakeem but... well, that was just a dream :bryan:

And his FT shooting has just gotten worse :sadcam:

He's still going to be a great rebounder and defender because of his athleticism, but you can tell he is just literally putting no work into his game at all.

I disagree. I watched him a lot when he was in Orlando and his game improved a lot from what it was in 09 to 2011, but his back injury set him back big time. Now he just looks like a mess out there at times.

Yea, I been saying this since 2010. Not only did he peak then physically, but he also chose to peak there skill-wise, as well.
