And was before all of them...so the "prerequisite" you gave is false...
:mjlol:


Doesn’t look good for your argument if thats the hill you gotta die on. 1960s 11 ring bill Russell is a goat and wasn’t a scorer so Dwight don’t gotta be either. Yikes

Not wholely true.

When he played in Charlotte..Dwight actually ramped his entire game and had a fye ass j.


Howard rubbed people the wrong way with whatever he be doing and no one cared in the media to say he had ramped his game frfr.

even at his best his skillset isn't sharp enough to keep him on the top tier

he was a athlete & once he couldn't consistently out athlete the opposition it was a wrap

Again.

I know you did not watch the source material.
Howard is still serviceable.

Howard has character issues somewhere that prohibit Howard from having a fair shake.

he is in the bench.mob veteran portion of his career

the former stars & starters that can't gracefully make that transition gotta hit the door

your skill level has to be elite to hold a starting spot your whole career

no matter how much improvement dwight has made he will never be in that elite tier

he was a elite tier athlete that was his bread & butter but athleticism is the first attribute to fade

it's not a difficult or rare story it happens all the time to countless players in the same mold

This is not a skill issue sir.
This is an issue Dwight Howard precipitated. Or Howard made an enemy of someone.
where now we know about Howard.
more than we want to know.
Or in this instance.

howard is a case of both.

At what point did anyone clamor for a Dwight post-up

At what point could he bring the ball up the floor

He was dominant on the glass, on the defensive end, and off of lobs but I don’t remember him being the kind of big man you could throw it to on the blocks and he could get you a bucket or create a play for someone else and I don’t remember him being the kind of player that could facilitate a offense

He should think he was one of the best big men because he was during his era (and eventually he should get his recognition by getting enshrined in the HOF); I just think he’s downplaying Jokic’s game and not really factoring his playmaking
That shyt wasn't stoppable in his era. His athleticism was just too fukking elite.
