Because he was drafted to the Magic...like Shaq...lived in Shaqs shadow while in Orlando all the while simultaneously jacking Shaq's steeze and being reminded by everyone INCLUDING Shaq that he'll never be Shaq so stop trying and just be Dwight.how is that a con? why would shaq be on dwights mind in that situation? him going to the lakers screamed NBA Championship at the time
why would Dwight care about shaq playing there forever ago when he has a chance to win a title and be great?
Dude is like a failed Shaq clone. Starts career with Orlando, adopts Superman motif, tries to be comical like Shaq, leaves Orlando for Lakers. But he's no Shaq at all. He finally gave up on trying to be him too thankfully.

Then you go to LA to try and live in Shaq's shadow some more and have to live up to his legacy even more? On the Lakers where Shaq won chips? With Kobe? Whose personality to not only constantly win but also be the face of the franchise has been evident for decades now?
Dwight could have avoided the LA situation easier than Neo dodges bullets in The Matrix
He's on the shyt list of every report/ analyst because he left media darling Lakers and Kobe
Big name espn guys and nba analyst bash him for leaving LA tho![]()
