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.
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.
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.
‘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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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'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.
@@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

@@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
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.
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 .
-- 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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
As a 76ers fan, I can tell you the year we had Dwight backing up Joel Embiid was so frustrating, he’s a literal man child that doesn’t know how to control his emotions.
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. 😎
