Zo wasn't that good... U can argue that Dwight in his Magic days was as good if not better.


He had Ewing and now he has Both Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin McHale, what would zo teach Dwight?

:whoa: Slow down homie. This dude with a busted kidney averaged 20 points a game and 4 blocks. 4 Blocks a game. In his 8th season. Dude was actually extremely underrated as a hybrid Big Man.

Dwight wishes he was Alonzo Mourning.

But yet Dwight average more points and rebounds in his prime and at least had a Finals Appearance.

Again, Zo was like Dwight before Dwight. He was never David Robinson or some shyt. If anything, Zo's had more Noteworthy failures than Dwight.

I'm assuming you were born in 88, in which will let me give you a pass since you just have no cognizance of how good Zo was when he was balling.

Did I see Zo get bodied by a nearly 40 year old Ewing, losing to an 8th seed, a Knicks squad without Ewing... Yes i have.

Dwight even with his Limited offensive abilities was about to drop 40 in the post season, average 27/15 and 26/13, and was able to reach the Finals as the Alpha. Ewing never did all that.

Zo post game wasn't on some next level shyt either nor he was that good of a scorer. He is just more Likeable as a human being.

I just can't, no one who has watched Zo play would agree with you. I just have to disregard your basketball opinions. Zo carried a gawd awful heat team for a lot of years.

Dude was playing with Larry Johnson and those boys in Charlotte first and then played with Tim Hardaway, PJ Brown, Dan Majerle ect in Miami. He never had a shytty team like Dwight did in 2011. Nobody was taking about his lack of post move when he was single handedly playing against Portland while James Harden was in a straitjacket

I'm not a Dwight fan but Alonzo Mourning would have won 0 Championships in Dwight's shoes too.

nikkas shytting on Zo now to prop up Dwight. I'll never understand what nikkas truly see in Dwight Howard. Some nikkas in here would swear this baby shift soft uncoordinated fakkit was on the Mount Rushmore of bigs:beli:

I feel the same way Shaq feels every time he is brought up....fukking offended:francis:

I don't even like Dwight like that but they are pretty much same players. They just different people. "One is a p*ssy, a$$hole, corny, dumb, ect and the other one is a great person and plays the game with pride and great energy."

But skills wise. They are Very identical. Dwight wouldn't elevate his game that much getting taught my Alonzo Mourning

You know what's fukked up homie, I like Dwight a lot. I think he has been shytted on unfairly. He has some special gifts, but like what we're saying. Mourning played on a much more competitive field. Had more health problems yet put up better defensive stats, was close in scoring, pretty close inn rebounds his stats were only dragged down by bad life threatening health problems.

I fukked with Dwight heavy in Orlando, I saw him then actually living up to the hype he was getting. But years later idk if it's the injuries, the bytch nikka behavior or the fact that his game hasn't grown at all...I just don't see him as even close to elite. To me he's a 3rd/4th tier big, but if I go into who I rank higher than him I'm just an :flabbynsick: nikka stuck in the past .

Naw he's still elite. Its just Dwight's injuries over the years have slowed him down. He's actually been really good in Houston, the problem is that outside of him and Harden, the rockets were linited. He just needs to improve his free throw and offensive post game.

I feel you on all that breh but the last shyt you posted is the problem I got with Dwight. He shoulda been had a post game by now he's a decade in and has no go to move in the post. He's legit a trash man big and that's fine nothing wrong with that. Its the fact that he gets put over bigs who had more weapons.

Like hell take Zo, say what yall want about him but he could hit the jumper and had a baby hook shot and had a little bit of a back to the basket game.

That's whats crazy, Dwight had a respectable jumpshot early in the league. Dwight was just so athletic he never had to develop a back to the basket game, even in todays NBA he's still a top 5 offensive bigman
