Dwight is the kind of guy that will laugh at your joke at his expense and then when everybody going home he will catch up with you in a dark alley and threaten to kill you if you ever diss him again
& then he'll forcefully grab your butt and say "good game" when you weren't even playing a game.
@onehandwashestheother That's when a man named "Kitty" enters the room with a basketball pump.
Dwight was my favorite player growing up, sucks he didn’t last as long as he should have… wish he could have played with ATL when Josh smith, Al horford, Jeff teague, and Joe Johnson were ballin
I’m ngl I saw this video say “The Moment Dwight Howard Turned…” and I thought this would be a totally different video
Turned 🌈 😂
Me too 😂😂😂
Dwight took a walk on the wild side.
It actually would have been cool to have the first openly Queer NBA star if it wasn't for everything else associated with that story.
@@johndebono1870ong bro was getting his fudge packed by a man woman😭
I wonder how the beef with Shaq affected his mentality about gettyng the ball on the low post. Dude seems to be trying to prove something instead of playing his best game.
Definitely could’ve gotten into his head, he did seem like he was trying to prove something I agree
I am wondering the same thing. I always thought that Dwight was just an awesome roll dunker off of the PnR and lobs. He would've made his own niche in the realm of NBA big men.
@@bball3048mmfr dwight was the best role playing center ever if he wanted could have been better than the guy in boston. if he accepted that role.
I think it was the back injury. The pain in his back made it harder for him to play a fast paced, high contact, leap and dunk style. He thought he could transition to a slower paced, get the ball in the post, back down a step or two and make a close-mid range shot that would cause less physical wear and tear and less back pain. He just didn't have the skill set, his greatness was athleticism based. Imagine if lebron james tore his acl in 2013, his career would've gone way different as he tried to become the new steph curry 3 point shooter and embarrassed himself out of the league.
Oh, I'm sure he's gotten plenty of balls on the low post. 😂
Dwight closes refrigerator door with his hips, then says “boop”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭
Yup that did it 😂😂😂😂
Lol
i was just looking for a video to watch too perfect timing😂💪🏻
Hope you enjoy my man, appreciate you!
Same here 😂
Same bruh
@@MikeKorzembathank you! Definitely love your videos!
Factsss 😂
‘09 doesn’t seem long ago and there was teams not even attempting 12 threes a game back then. We now have guys like Steph Curry shooting that many threes every game. Wild.
My daughter was born during that game. She’s a freshman playing varsity
I really think the 3 point explosion in the NBA can be traced back to pickup ball in gyms everywhere. If you've ever played pickup at your local gym you'd notice right away that games are played to 12 or 15 points with anything inside the 3 point line counted as 1 point and everything outside the 3 point line counted as 2. With this scoring system it was obvious that making 6 two point shots was much easier and quicker than making 12 one point shots. I've been playing pickup since 1998, yup I'm that old. Back in 98 guys still drove and didn't shoot much. As early as 2001-04 you would see teams only shoot 2's. So defense adapted to run these guys off the 3 point line but that just pushed the shooters back further. As early as 2002-08 you had guys with crazy range pulling up from logos. You couldn't go to a gym where there weren't guys who never missed even pulling up from 10 feet behind the line. Curry benefited from growing up playing ball during this time. He just brought the gym experience to the NBA. If you want to see what's going to take over the NBA next, go to your local gym and play some pickup.
@@Claytonjohnson96 I feel so old now. I graduated in 2009
@@calvin8154nonsense!
NGL once I saw Dwight Howard I immediately said "pause*
I remember reading that dwight's happy-go-lucky attitude was also part of his downfall. Kobe got pissed at him because he didn't seem to take things seriously and always kept joking around.
he never recovered from kobe calling him soft. kobe wasnt wrong about much.
Plus he was trying to jam his thumb into asses on defense. Dudes a weirdo
He was probably also messing a round too much in the locker room if you know what i mean
@@skeezix8156He got off to it
Yes! I remember reading something about that while he was playing for Orlando during one of his all star appearances. It was some sportswriter or sportscaster. Dwight never seemed the same after that.
Dwight got those sling blade allegations on him. Hes definitely a top 75. Dame or AD never led a team to a finals
This was the year that the whole Celtics team was hurt tho and he got bodied by Kobe and the lakes 4-1
Lmao AD is easily better because he's 5x better on offense.
@@brentw0681You joking, right? 😂
always wanted the arm sleeves he wore when he was on the magic
Go buy some then.
very fitting for a Diva like Dwight.
Y'all so Gaye bro.
If Dwight was old Dwight then Kobe would have won 2 more rings
EZ. couldve taken the reigns from kobe, letting mamba retire earlier like he was rumored to or at least take a reduced role, then the lakers couldve found someone to pair with dwight. sadly thats not what happened, but man thats a helluva what if story
@@ghostflame9211 Facts! The crazy part is they got Dwight August 2012 and the CP3 trade was vetoed December 2011. Man imagine that Big 3, but now you talking about MJs legacy being in jeopardy and the NBA can't have that
@@TONEakaSHOW Bron, Wade, Bosh vs Kobe, CP3, Dwight would've gone hard.
If Perkins didn’t go down Celtics win game 7
I had SUCH high hopes for that Nash, Kobe, Gasol, Howard team. I've never fully recovered from how crushed I was after that season.
You know it’s over when they switch from the fade to dreads
the dreads make them zesty af
Or from Dreads to Fade Like AI 😂😂
@@IamDMVbro had braids
He has done other interviews where he talks about how he was unhappy with playing time on the Lakers. DH was becoming a great role player but, purely speculating based on previous interviews, he wasn't ready for a lesser role.
yup he wanted to be the man but he just couldnt. should be the worlds best role playing center... was gifted for that role. dude jsut couldnt hit a shot from post up for some reason. and kept wanting to post up. then the back tumor happened. dude got a grapefurit size lump removed from his back when he was in houston
Dwight Howard was a beast in his Prime 😎🙏♥️🔥🐐.
A beast in his prime and a freak in the sheets
still can’t believe Dame made the Top 75 over him, he was truly a beast and his prime (though short-lived) was incredible
I think that's why, more longevity and importance throughout the years, Orlando was Dwight's prime
@@davidmunoz1683 i’d counter that with the fact that in those Orlando years alone Dwight matched Dame in personal achievements and had more team success than he ever had… also i’m not a fan of ring culture but Dwight did get a championship, even though he was a role player when he won it that is important
In Orlando Dwight made the playoffs and finals and won awards dame didn't@@davidmunoz1683

Despite the curry with the 40inch vertical thing. I guess it was for entertainment

The Van Gundy impression was hilarious. I laughed for so long
It WAS actually quite fantastic
Been waiting on Mike for weeks. Thanks Brodie.
I appreciate you, another video on the way Saturday 🫡

IMO Shaq's era has more elite centers, that's why he didn't have his all-nba earlier than Dwight.
keep up the work bro your gonna make it far.
Appreciate you brother!
I’m 19 now. I’ve been watching you since I was 9😂. 10 years bro
Thank you so much, that made my day and it’s only like 7 am here, I appreciate you 🙏
He started messing with them boys
I appreciate when Mike talks about my home town Magic
6:05 no. Orlando made it to the NBA Finals riding Rafer Skip To My Lou Alston. When they got to the Finals, still injured out of shape Jameer was allowed to start in his place and they lost. That’s what happened.
I like the video of Kobe calling Dwight "you soft" best quote ever
We love him in the Philippines
I bet you boys do love him over there.
Lmao he tearin them ladyboys up 😂
I'm a magic fanatic and I hate what Dwight did to SVG. I mean on a level human to human
-- I never liked Howard for his shenanigans and his 2 left feet for post footwork despite being a freak athlete.
But...he's a Top 75 player. He drove the bus in ORL as the DPOY and dropping 20ppg by being basically a lob threat.
@@jlui21 I wished he just accepted his ability and just be a lob beast off of the PnR with Harden. But his ego had to "one up" Shaq's comments.
Dwight's mentality was "I'm going to prove I'm more than a pick and roll center." to Shaq's criticisms, when it should have been "He says I can only pick and roll and dunk.. well I'm gonna win championships doing that and then he can't say anything." Again, it's the equivalent of LeBron getting criticized for not being able to shoot and can only drive to the basket, and then trying to be Steph for the rest of his career after that and barely driving to the basket as much.
Fact is... Dwight Howard was on the Lakers.. with D'Antoni as his coach and STEVE NASH as his point guard, as the BEST PICK AND ROLL CENTER IN THE LEAGUE with the BEST PICK AND ROLL POINT GUARD IN THE LEAGUE and possibly all time...with one of the BEST OFFENSIVE AND PICK AND ROLL COACHES OF ALL TIME... and decided "I don't feel like running pick and roll." ... THAT says it all.
amazing video. dwight was so good when i was growing up. its sad to see him playing out of the usa. hes still got it in him to be in the NBA
Most passive aggressive superstar? Nah that's easily Lebron. Never saw Dwight tweeting out emojis like a 13 year old girl.
The moment he stopped being humble and flaunted that 🔥.
Damn I think Howard needs to be on an NBA team one one season
Since the Magic retired Shaqs number, itll be ridiculous of them if they didnt retire dwight howards number
Had a chance to meet Dwight. Pretty funny dude.
Steph is a prime example of a humble player that actually listens to his coach, whereas Dwight is the exact opposite. Ego precedes him and he fails to recognize those around him that care most for his success. Seems like theres very few of those people left. He still had a good career but damn, could have been so much more.
I still remember Magic Dwight being my favorite player as a kid
People hate on Dwight but he’s a top 5-10 center of all time . Before Jokic , we hadn’t seen a true big man lead a team to the finals since Shaq . Giannis is defensively a big but runs the floor like a forward or guard. I’m talking about low post big men .
KAREEM, WILT, RUSSEL, HAKEEM, ROBINSON, SHAQ, MOSES, JOKIC are all better .
Top bball channels:
Mike Korzemba, Andy Hoops, Wilson Sy...
Agreed. Go check out jxmyhighroller as well
It’s true This single interview turn Dwight from honest good guy into a hated heel 😂
Yo, I’ll give Dwight Howard this he is funnier than LeBron that impression was hilarious of his coach 😂
….. Giannis “hol my beer Dwight 😂
The issue was that he didnt realize that he wasnt Shaq, and was definitively not ok with that.
11:20 "while Dwight is playing in the Philippines"
Shows Dwight playing in Taiwan 😂😂😂
They look the same
shaw getting butthurt over dwight doing the superman thing will never get old considering hes the one who gave himself that nickname in the first place.
"Like a WWE segment"
Come on Mike! A Jokic comparison isn't fair! Dwight's shooting comparing to Jokic's is like comparing Kobe's to Adams' memtality
Since when has there been more than one goat? Greatest means one.
this video was awesome
oh man u ain’t heard bout the allegations on Dwight
What allegations
EDIT: Nevermind
huh... Dwight got shafted and hated for this... and now coaches are getting fired left and right because players dont like em and nobody bats an eye.
we truly are pieces of ish.
I remember this like yesterday
nice to see UA-cam comments being shown here. many times the best of the best.
6:09 ***GAME 2
RIP Stewart Scott
It's like getting your hand in the cookie jar and your older brother walks in and tells your parents about it later. You walk out, awkwardly put your arm around your brother and say 'that didnt happen, did it?' And after he walks away, you ask your parents 'Who said I did that? Since you got so many sources, I'm asking you?'
Like bro, dont be the 6 year old little brother. Just be a man and admit what you said lmao. Feel like that was just the start of that 'me vs the world' attitude he had. And throughout all lthat, I was still rooting for him. I mean he still had a successful career all things considered, but for a 3 time back to back defensive champ, he could have done SO much more with a better attitude.
Basketball aside, I’ve never seen a non-bodybuilder with the kind of shoulders he has. Dude is jacked.
Dwight was supposed to spend several months of rehab for his back surgery before returning to play (I think he was supposed to return in January of 2013). Dwight didn’t do that, and his game suffered as a result. I don’t whether bringing him back early was Dwight’s idea or the Lakers’, but they never should have allowed Dwight to skip his rehab.
Hes actually in the Philippines? I remember KJ McDaniels played a season there and averaged something crwzy like 35/15 and like 3.5 blocks
Dwight was better defensive player than half of the Hall of fame or all 50 player ever. But he have back injury back in 2013 and he improved latter in Houston. But with all his blocks, rebounds, power display he deserved all 75
I saw somewhere that Dwight didn’t actually want him fired. It was just miscommunication
Dwight is that you 🤔
@@MikeKorzemba 🤫
Lol
he said it when they where losing but that was a few years back. before that interview. and he does say he wants a trade then he doesnt weekly.
at least he had a redemption moment in 2020
Dwight never should have left the Lakers after winning the 2020 chip. The Lakers wanted him back and he ruined his own goodwill with the team by signing with Philly im suprised the Lakers even brought him back years later for 1 more year
kobe didnt want him
@@user-nv1gm2zj7y Kobe is dead by then bro
Dwight Howard was actually playing well in Houston. Klay Thompson once said Houston was the toughest team for them at the time(This was when Chris Paul, Dwight and James Harden was on the team.). Something happened after he decided to not resign with Houston. Soon as he signed a 3 year contract with the Atlanta Hawks, they TRADED him before the beginning of the next season.
What's going on with him now is DEFINITELY not helping him( teams look at public reputation)get another chance to play in the NBA and end his career on his own terms(outside of him being close to 40).
Literally was coming to watch a Mike video n look at God
🙏
It was nice to see him continue to a ring tho
The only reason Howard was the no. 1 player in All-Star voting was not because he was beloved, or considered the best player in the NBA, it was just because he was the only good center in the Eastern Conference in that era, and during that time the “center” position was still guaranteed to make the ASG starting lineup.
A few years later the center position got so bad, when even someone like Roy Hibbert could make the ASG starting lineup, they got rid of the center position in voting and just included forwards and guards.
So him being the top vote getter isn’t all that impressive, I don’t know who else the fans would have included on their ballot at the center position in the East.
He was absolutely loved here in Orlando and he blew it. The fact that he forced his way to LA after Shaq did the same thing 15 years earlier makes it even worse. I used to be a massive fan, but if I saw him in rl, I couldn't care less
When the coach uses his powers to try and get a player traded, "It's the business". When player uses his powers to try and get a coach moved out, "He's a backstabbing liar." Thank God for player unions...
the grass isnt always greener on the other side
he wanted out of orlando so bad when they were literally the only franchise that built around him
You think he'd have wanted to stay in Orlando with all the boy bands there.
@@ignatiusjackson235 he was literally in an interview saying he wasnted to come back in the nba and retire with orlando you clown
@@rs3daily587 Poor bastard. I guess there might be a few boy bands left in O-Town.
@@ignatiusjackson235 you clearly don't know basketball🤡
Sorry it didn't work out for your gay idol dwight Howard
How pathetic
I personally feel Shaq's ego messed him up in a way. Soon as they started calling him Superman, Shaq took it personal and didn't let up. That beef took a lot outta Dwight and didn't help when he went to the Lakers.
2009 magic set the blueprint for the future I'ma stand on that
Many NBA stars have great ability, but their attitude is left to be desired.
Dwight Howard:
- D12
- The Superman
- 3× time NBA Defensive Player
- 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Winner
- 1× time NBA Champion
- 1× time First All NBA
- 12× time NBA All-Star
- #12
I thought rashard lewis was an all star that year they went to the finals ? Or am i tripping out
You are correct sir, it was me who was tripping, my bad 🤦♂️ thought I triple checked that one
Dwight “The booty bandit” Howard
Orlando Tragic. Being a Magic fan is just pain.
Why doesn't your brother post NFL videos anymore? I loved his channel.
He should have been on the top 75 team. No excuses
Mike you gotta tell the truth about this Magic/Cavs series. The Delonte West - LBJ Saga came to a head during this series and it was clear Lebron completely checked out from there. (LBJ was the absolute last one to find out everyone else already knew)
If i recall correctly that was between games 4 and 5 but I'm sure you're going to have more clear info from your sources.
The fact stef still stood up for bro after he got him fired
lol you mean stan?
The stars that came out of hs would have torched college basketball
It's crazy how he didn't want to run PnR with Nash.
There’s literally no way Dame and AD are better than Dwight in his prime
Dwight career is far more better than Carmelo, he had the longevity still playing pro basketball
For anyone wondering his Philippines team with a lot of ex nba players lost in the dubai finals....to a three.
Lers do a petition to get Dwight in the top 75 !!!! Hes definitely top 60!!!!
It was very weird watching basketball at that time. Dwight Howard was supposed to be the next "big" superstar. Then like 2 years later he almost seemed to disappear.
lmao. man so petty
Still no Wemby video ?
I want to have a unique idea for one, haven’t had one yet, I’ll brainstorm on it
Great video, I always thought he was treated bad and was unlucky, he definitely had a part in his downward spiral
Dwight Howard had all the athletic ability in the world but the brain of an acorn. He had zero ability to adjust.
I think there have been murmurings around the league about Dwight’s other activities.
All stars in 2009
Howard
Nelson
R.Lewis
I remember watching this interview and felt Dwight did Jeff dirty! I'm still uncomfortable watching it.
He didn't get his back blown out, he got his corn hole blown out.
You should do a video about owen freeman
Back issues? More like stopped using steriods. Did yall know that entire starting line up got caught with steriods? And that was why dwight demanded a trade to distance himself from that.
Say what you want about Dwight Howard....his goals as an NBA player did get achieved like him or not. He was drafted early, made a name for himself and eventually won a championship. He was quoted for stating "Making it to the NBA was reward enough.". So him winning a chip is an over achievement. 😎
He won a ring as a 8th man..
@@duMaurier15 Yea however, they needed him after they dropped him from the roster and A.D. inconsistent play wouldn't have been as evident to everyone had they re-signed Dwight Howard. So that 8th man roster is just now this late season looking as though it has finally been refilled.😎
@@dreskee8422 They dropped him for many reasons and the main reason had nothing to do with on court performance. The dude was a FRUIT and made other men feel uncomfortable. I wouldnt be surprised in 10 years, NBA athletes will come out and press charges against him.
The problem with Dwight the Blight is he is better at making babies than making shots.
dwight was hated when he was sad af with kobe
