How come Dwight Howard Doesn't Get Praise for 2009?

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

to me it was more impressive than what LeBron did.. He took a team with Jameer Nelson, Rafer Alston, Courtney Lee and Rashard Lewis to the NBA Finals while beating a 45 win 76er Team, the defending champs Celtics & a 66 Win Cavs team with LeBron at his physical peak.... While losing to a better Laker Team than these Warriors with Kobe in his prime..

[TheGreatShowtime]

Hedo Turkoglu

Because people don't like him. Clearly a great player in his prime

That team was light years better they had Hedo too. Rashard was an all star that year and they almost lost to the 76ers and were down 2-1 and needed late game moracle in Game 4 not to be down 3-1

Them Lakers teams weren't better either lol, I'm still baffled how they went to 3 straight finals.. The West in terms of true contenders was weak that period though not going to lie

Cause he s bytch

Right because LeBron going scoreless in the 4th & shooting 17% in 4th/OT this series isn't underwhelming

Kobe in his prime with Gasol, Bynum, Ariza, Artest, Odom, Fisher would beat the Warriors in 5

Gasol and Odom are good players, the rest are a little fishy during that time those are players you can take out the game easily

If memory serves me correctly KG was injured, and Hedo had the season of his life. Rafer had a great playoff run and then dumbass Van Dumby benched his hot n/h guy for a cold ass Jameer that was injured for the playoffs

It wasn't just Dwight that played a role in their success. Hedo won MIP that year
