Has Dwight Howard's skills jumped the shark?
- Thread starter UpAndComing
- Start date
In the youtube vid of him with Hakeem, he was doing the moves perfectly. I am 100% he can but he doesn't for some reason...bc he cant?

We don't want that fuccboi.
Besides, Boban would probably outplay him right now
I'm actually not worried about Dwight attitude anymore...I think his head is going toward or already at the same place LMA head was last year in Portland after everybody got hurt and he just knew it was no hope for his team...
People shyt on Dwight but for what Swag Antonio needs him to do...play defense...hit the boards...roll to the rim and suck up players...he would be perfect...
Wouldn't even need to run plays for him...he going to get 5 - 10 shots a game doing nothing but catching Danny Green and Patty Mills bricked 3 pointers
For a second I confused Patty Mills with Chris MillsI'm actually not worried about Dwight attitude anymore...I think his head is going toward or already at the same place LMA head was last year in Portland after everybody got hurt and he just knew it was no hope for his team...

Dwight is a weird player....At times, you'll see him joking & smiling like he really enjoys playing basketball, but on the other hand his body language is like 
as if he can care less and just be going through the motions just for a paycheck.
The Orlando fiasco ruined his reputation, also injuries killed off his athleticism & explosiveness and last, he hasn't improved AT ALL since his Orlando days. His game didn't translate at all into his 30s because he can't rely on his athleticism/physical talent anymore. The newer big men in the league are just as athletic, physical and have post moves...something Dwight has struggle to develop.
The new crop of big men has made him irrelevant.

Why would you give him this much touches on offense?
Notice how many games he's out of the offense barely taking chances?
Houston need to utilize him a lot more, if only for a stretch. He's still Dwight Howard.
Even in his orlando days, dude should've deserved way more shots.He's has always had the potential to be an alltime great.
His face-up game is hurt by the fact he can't blow by as easily as he could back then and he has no consistent jumper/shot. His post game is mediocre for someone who was considered an elite big.
He's no longer someone who can impose his will athletically and never really progressed in his offensive game.
Big men are better now than what they were during his prime.

Oh you mean exactly what he refused to do in LAI'm actually not worried about Dwight attitude anymore...I think his head is going toward or already at the same place LMA head was last year in Portland after everybody got hurt and he just knew it was no hope for his team...

Dwight was a freak athlete. His speed, quickness and explosiveness was on par with the NBA legends. That Orlando team he lead to the Finals was wack outside of his and he was a single handed defensive assassin. Still one of the better team defenders I've seen in decades in his prime under SVG.
The best team for him might Milwaukee. I would draft Ulis and sign Howard and see what happens.
