Re: dwight hitting jumpers
[QUOTE=MrUnstopable]nice post :rockon:[/QUOTE]
Howard doesn't have a jump/set shot. I see a guy who can make them in practice with no defense on him even that he can't do consistently. He has absolutely no control over the ball when he shoots. He will be the same can't shoot howard as last year. He is terrible in the post. when there are big bodies to throw at him and teams actually are good at D and wants to play it ala Lakers they shut his offensive game down which is strictly just dunking the basketball. Which he is probably the best in the world as for big men.
The thing I can't stand the most is an NBA player that doesn't have a reliable jumper or a streaky shooter. How he is a consensus Top 5 player to me is mind boggling same goes with CP3
You ISH guys can have guys who can't shoot like Derrick Rose, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Dwayne Wade
I rather have players like O.J. Mayo, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Gilbert Arenas
I usually stay away from NBA player threads and the hatorade stuff, but reading this thread just wants to make me scream out loud.
ISHs top 5 NBA Players Consensus-Wise
1. LeBron James
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Dwyane Wade
4. Dwight Howard
5. Chris Paul
The real top 5
1. Kobe Bryant
2. LeBron James
3. Carmelo Anthony
4. Dwyane Wade
5. O.J. Mayo
Re: dwight hitting jumpers
When I went to a a Vince Carter celeb all star game a while back, I remeber sitting down and watching a guy rain down three's like crazy. Who was this gentleman? Stromile Swift practicing and game time are two very different things.

Re: dwight hitting jumpers
It's been 4 years since Dwight started expanding his game. Surely he's an offensive monster by now!
Am I right?
...Guys?

Always has been massively overrated. The man is a third tier center.

Please name another third tier center with a similar resume:

Dikembe Mutumbo.
Nothing wrong with being third tier, its just laughable to hear him mentioned in same breath with the greats.
Current centers who are better than Dwight Howard:
Tim Duncan
Pau Gasol
Roy Hibbert
Al Horford
Joachim Noah
Marc Gasol
Dem. Cousins
Brook Lopez

Re: dwight hitting jumpers
[QUOTE=TheFan]not one of [B]those is [/B]better than Howard... Duncan is past his prime... im gonna admit they are better at specific things, Noah is a better passer, Hibbert has a better back to the basket game, Cousins is a better offensive player, etc... but but when you take everything into account, D12 is STILL the best center in the league.[/QUOTE]
Not one of those [B]players are [/B]better than Howard.:cheers:

Was he massively overrated in 2011 when he made a team of Jameer Nelson, Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Ryan Anderson a top 3-5 defensive team while averaging 23/14 on 59%?
[QUOTE=Horde of Temujin]Dikembe Mutumbo.[/QUOTE]
Mutombo never came close to averaging 20 ppg, much less topped it 4 times. He never led a team to the finals as the best player either.

Funny thing is this is based off of a down year for Dwight(and still incorrect) but anyway, Pau Gasol had a worse year than Dwight last year. And Cousins? :roll:
