Where does Juwan Howard now rank with an NBA title?

[no pun intended]

College Standout.

5th pick overall.

NBA All-Star (1996)
All-NBA Third Team (1996)
NBA All-Rookie Second Team (1995)

NBA Champion!

[Rake2204]

I didn't have him in my top 250 before today. But as of a few seconds ago, I'd put him around #38. A ring's a ring.

[Fiasco]

At least top 20.

[I<3NBA]

he's gotta be top 10! only one of the fab 5 to have a ring. an accomplishment right there to ward off that deadly curse.

[Rake2204]

At least top 20.
I think that's pushing it. Let's see him win one more then we'll talk.

[Noob Saibot]

Top 225 sounds about right.

[nba_55]

From #550 to #1

[Dwyane Rose]

I didn't even know he existed until today, but from today's evidence he is clearly the GOAT.

Typo. Meant to write 30. lol

Haha, I was about to say. . . I thought you'd gone crazy for a second. No way he's top 20 yet.

[jlauber]

This is what America will talking about tomorrow morning...

[livingby3's]

this thread is good stuff :lol

[TheStarting5ive]

Top 225 sounds about right.

This.

[Rake2204]

Still waiting for the nation to weigh in on this one.

[SuperPippen]

Inching ever closer to usurping Brian Scalabrine's place as the GOAT.

[KingBeasley08]

in all seriousness tho, did anyone else laugh when he airballed a shot in garbage time? :lol

[franchise#3]

Why did he stop being a 20ppg scorer?

[stax]

I have him in my Top 738 list. Just ahead of the Suns Gorilla and Vanessa Bryant.

[ukballer]

in all seriousness tho, did anyone else laugh when he airballed a shot in garbage time? :lol

:oldlol: That all but confirmed his retirement in my eyes.

[Rake2204]

in all seriousness tho, did anyone else laugh when he airballed a shot in garbage time? :lol
It kind of reminded me of when Darko Milicic broke his wrist airballing a jump shot in garbage time of the '04 Finals clincher.

[jlip]

He's the only member of the Fab 5 to win any post high school championship. That alone plus the way he carried Lebron at the end of game 4 places him in the top 300 all time.

[DuMa]

i cant figure out if he was a better addition to the 2012 Heat than Robert Parish was to the 1997 Bulls

[Draz]

top 20.

[RRR3]

Top 15, if he wins again, top 10 for sure. GOAT leadership skills:bowdown:

[Zackmorris]

Top 432 IMO

[I<3NBA]

Why did he stop being a 20ppg scorer?
because he's goddamned almost 40 years old? he's 39 ffs :lol

[SacJB Shady]

holy crap!! i thought howard was always a scrub and im looking at his stats now, JEZUZ christ, he was actually pretty good. Had an allstar too. The dude has been in the NBA forever. LITERALLY forever. Seems like nowdays there is more old dudes hanging around in the league.

[TheBluest]

Goat Edge Up

[KG215]

Prime Juwan was a 19-8-3.5 player and he carried LeBron in the 4th quarter of game four. Unfortunately his peak/prime lasted only about four years or so or he'd easily be top 30 all-time with this ring. Instead, he's probably somewhere between 250 and 1,000.

[BG32-KD35]

Cant go up when you're already 1

[LBJDW305]

Common he shouldn't even move in anyone's all time rankings. Dude is old enough to be Norris Coles father

[Rake2204]

Well I had Damon Stoudamire over him previously. However, Stoudamire never won a ring. So Juwan moves up in that case. Same story in Howard's comparison with Scott Skiles, Sherman Douglas, and Patrick Ewing.

[Hank]

top 5

[jbryan1984]

Juwan Howard had one good year. He was never more than your average player after that.

[Rake2204]

I'm not sure I'd agree with that. He was a pretty consistent 18 and 8 guy through the first 9 years of his career. Plus he's a winner.

[chips93]

funny how all the juwan haters just dissappeared once he got his ring, haters are so mad right now! my boy juwan just stylin on em

[alenleomessi]

you are making fun of him like he is scalabrine.. he used to be a good player

[Sakkreth]

Why Big Z didn't made such move, even Curry got his ring.

[blablabla]

somewhere between jamison and odom

[Scholar]

Why are we discussing this dinosaur?

[Rake2204]

Overall, Juwan's feeling pretty good about this thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL4KM-hTvTs

[PickernRoller]

I say close to Congo Cash at the 320th spot.

[DirtySanchez]

Higher then LeBron right under Adam Morrison.

[Rake2204]

On the heels of this new video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENhhX4tPDuQ&feature=related), Juwan may have propelled himself into Top 20 territory.

[jlauber]

I'm still losing sleep over this...

[ripthekik]

:roll:
His ranked propelled the same way Lebron's did:applause:

[necya]

he magically becomes a better player than a month ago :eek:

[RRR3]

Higher then LeBron right under Adam Morrison.
:kobe: Juwan is top 10 at worst, Juwan haters are pathetic:facepalm

[Rake2204]

:kobe: Juwan is top 10 at worst, Juwan haters are pathetic:facepalm
Pump the brakes. We're talking one title here. J-Ho Wa is going to need at least one more ring before any of these comparisons hold any weight.

[RRR3]

It's not Juwan's fault he had mediocore supporting casts his whole career. He had to suffer through years of carrying scrubs like T-Mac, Yao, LeBron and Wade before he finally got a chance to get his ring. Put him on a better team and he'd have like 8 rings by now.

I have to admit, this was classic...

[AK47DR91]

I'll say that this 2012 Finals Juwan Howard is on par to that of 2000 Finals Kobe Bryant.

[bagelred]

:roll: NBA Champion.


Dude, rings only matter if you are one of the top few players on the team. You think that ring helps Howard's "legacy" as a bench warmer? :oldlol:

If he's not one of the top few players then why is he closest to the championship trophy?

[ripthekik]

Dude was definitely legit. One of the most important pieces to the Heat championship.

1) When the big 3 goes to the bench, He sits next to them, motivates them, send them into the game furiously to win the game.

2) Shouts at players when they shoot in front of the heat bench. Has been proven to lower opponents field goal % by 7 when Juwan Howard is there.

3) Did we not see who the Heat send out in the final minutes of Game 5. Juwan Howard was out there to seal the deal. Clutch.

[jstern]

How can an NBA Rookie all 2nd team be playing in the league today at age 39? Wasn't the league ultra weak back then? (I'm talking to Kobe fans.)

[jlauber]

I wonder how much credit Baylor received in the '72 Lakers title run. He retired after the ninth game of the season. (Incidently, the Lakers immediately went on a 33 game winning streak the very next game after he retired.)

[Beatlezz]

Top 2 Howard of All-Time behind Dwight. He already surpassed Josh Howard..

But only one Howard has a ring.

[AK47DR91]

Is he officially the greatest Howard basketball player ever? :eek:

[Lebron23]

He literally carried Lebron in the Finals. He's now a 2x NBA Champion.

Love his moves.

[cos88]

assistent coach right now, working with oden and the other bigs. he's doing a good job from what i heard.



also people forget this guy was a stud in college and had 8 seasons with 17 + points per game and 9 seasons with 7+ rebounds.


in his peak at 22 he had 22.1 / 8.1 / 4.4 on 49 fg%. in todays league with his nice post moves he would be a top player.
