Yeah, it's just sad how bytch made that nikka's become. Dude could've been somebody a contender could've built a dynasty around. But he opted for fukkery and became allergic to playing in the post.

Well that's not fair to Howard at all. He's one of the 15 greatest centers in league history & had a MVP caliber year in '11
He has embraced post up play TOO much in recent years and the expectations of him becoming Shaq were always dumb

Dwight probably has the most limited post game for a big man of his size and strength. There's NO reason why he never developed a more varied post game, especially when he was supposedly training with Olajuwon during offseasons and had Kevin McHale as coach.

In his prime, yeah he was a force to be reckoned with but he never refined his game. And then there are his off-court antics...

Can't believe we're letting the Kings hang with us... Dwight is so limited on offense, and Bazemore is almost nonexistant on that side of the ball.

David Robinson wasn't much better. A reason he struggled with consistency in the playoffs is because he relied so much on athleticism and face up skills...but he's one of the all time greats anyways

The difference between Deandre Jordan and Dwight Howard is refinement. The guy did put in work and did have a post game, it just was never good enough to be an elite 1on1 scorer. that doesn't matter unless you're comparing him to some pantheon level player like Shaq and because he was dominant in other areas of the game. We should be talking about how he has one of the highest rebounding percentages ever or his 3x DPOY's more than a lack of post moves

Robinson's game aged much better than Dwight's is
