Title: Dwight Howard is OVERRATED
Post by: sprite on December 25, 2009, 12:47:29 PM
seriously this guy is wack, unless it's a dunk directly under the rim, he can't do shit but rebound

his game 5 feet or more from the basket is horrendous

all you hear is people sucking his dick whenever they talk about him, I don't understand

watching this Celtics-Magic game solidifies it... there's no one near his size and he's butchered like 6 of 7 shots he's taken, barely hitting the rim

not to mention playing the entire game against PHX a few weeks ago and scoring one basket against a team with no one bigger than 6'9

he has no balls compared to other guys in the league, against the elite squads he's weak in my opinion

He basically has the skill set taht shaq has exept Howard doesnt have the weight to bully people outta the way like Shaq used to do. Id say he is overrated aswell.

Shaq had a post-up game, and had a very good turn-around hook shot

Howard has neither... his shot is awful, sometimes he misses the rim by a foot

it's just the way people hype him up you'd think he was a monster

so he gets 20 rebounds against the Wizards or something, so what

I want to like the guy but every single time I watch him he just doesn't do shit

he's way overrated and his game is as limited as possible... sometimes he reminds me of that guy Boone on New Jersey!


*he just let Kendrick Perkins back him down as if he were Shaq himself and picked up his 4th foul at the start of the half... while his team has 25 points!

that kind of offense and that kind of game is all the best center in the basketball can come up with?

not a great representative for the NBA's centers then...  :-X

he can go 20 & 20 on any given night.

plus he's young & only improving.

haha bullshit, I'll give him the rebounds

but offensively = weak

dude is as one dimensional as it gets, young or not, he's not shaping up to be a big time player

I'm seriously not trying to hate on him or anything, I'm just sayin based on all the shit you hear about him, he's not as good as the hype

he's averaging 18 & 13, that's ridiculously impressive.

if he gets that defense to be All-Star caliber, you got a future Hall of Famer on your hands.

You're not saying anything that wasn't said after the finals. Gasol quickly figured out his few offensive moves and was able to limit his offensive game.

His offensive game is extremely limited, but the fact that he's so gifted physically gives him the ability to go 20/20 on a given night.

He's a monster on the boards and on altering/blocking/controling the paint , there is no doubt about that ... BUT he's very limited offensive wise and his fundenmentals ( or whatever you write it) are very poor : the prime example is that he's always lowering the ball after catching it resulting in being often stripped by guards ...  a good physical defender like Perkins can handle him one on one ...

I do not think he will be become much better offensively ...  if you do not have the basic skills/talent to develop back to the basket moves , you won't develop any moves ....

i feel like shaq has a better post game. one of the best offensive big men to ever lace them up. dwight seems so boxy, it looks so unnatural and doesnt seem like he has a good natural flow.
