The basis of all the hate is that he's an overated player to begin with. Always has been. No need to up his numbers in Orlando, we saw the games, a supposed "superstar" and "MVP candidate" without a post-move. Anyone who grew up watching the likes of Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, Shaq, Mourning and them can't really respect Coward as a player. Like breh said, he's a glorified Kevin Willis. Good second-tier player that got overated due to the lack of interior play in the NBA in his prime, and the fact that Orlando didn't have any other "superstar" makes people believe HE carried them to the Finals.

Now if he wans't portrayed as a top player back then he wouldn't even get half the hate, but somehow he was presented (and presented himself) as if he should be in the same conversation as the Kobes, Brons, CPOs of the league, which is absolutely ridiculous.

Plus, for a supposed "Superman", dude's always bytching on the court.

All the other stuff came on top of this, but the real reason (for me, anyway) is that he's always been vastly overated.

The reason people really don't feel dude is because he is big as fukk...skilled as fukk...and manages not to produce. He got the height blessing that so many would love to have and he does minimum with it...we like people when they actually exploit their gifts(like shaq:shaq:)...we hate people when we see them squander there gifts. Dwight fall under the latter of the two:yeshrug:

Dwight is a fraud. Its not very hard to see that. His best years were in the league where was no competition at all at center position, and when he had matchups of him vs yao or shaq, those two clearly past their primes would hold their own against this fraud.

Went to finals one year because celtics KG was out, took them damn 7 games to beat boston where they used glen davis, mikki moore and other shyt to play in that pf spot.
And he actually had the nerve to fire SVG who made his career, that right there destroyed his image before actually going to the lakers. He should have never went to western conference because he was never the true leader, should have been more diplomatic and trying to figure out the orlando situation. You cant win shyt in the west if you not a true leader, ask cp0.

And he can't even handle the media with his goofy ass. He's just a very dislikable character.

At first when he left for houston it looked alright, the upcoming superstar harden, and if dwight heals his injuries this could be big time team, then we saw how harden got exposed with his non existant defense and poisonous character, he actually worse than dwight.

Either this goofball joins treadmill team for max or he takes a paycut and chases them championship dreams. He can't be 1st option, neither 2nd on a contender.

Watching him play is an exercise in frustration
