Dwight Howard's Top 10 Plays of his Career

Straight out of high school, Dwight Howard made it known around the NBA that he was going to be one of the most dominant big men in the league. One of the best shot blockers & rebounders the league has ever seen, Howard has been terrorizing teams in the paint for years. Lets take a look at his career so far and count down his 10 best plays!

[@VK-rh8yi]

Dwight was a beast.. Still can’t believe they didn’t include him in top-75

[@tfredrick01]

complete disrespect and completely on purpose.

[@swervo1506]

It is crazy.

[@parhamdabidian5743]

Think about klay the shooting god not being on there

[@unkown981]

Klay isn’t really like that

[@BenTheB055]

Howards magic was the last time I can remember a playoff contending team that was led by a dominant big man. Nowadays it seems every team is led by guards, and forwards.

[@BenTheB055]

***** you're stupid as hell if you think Kobe Bryant wasn't the best player, and the leader of that team

[@BenTheB055]

***** he's listed as a power forward, and thats the position he usually plays as

[@BenTheB055]

***** well I meant a dominant center, that's why I commented on this video of Dwight Howard, cause that was usually his position and he was incredible back then.

[@BenTheB055]

***** Well either way you're wrong cause pau wasn't the best player on that team, and I am talking about recently with teams in the NBA. I can only say the grizzlies, and maybe the Atlanta Hawks are the only teams with dominant centers.

[@BenTheB055]

lggfyamado3 I fucked up this comment, I meant teams with dominant centers, Anthony Davis is the best power forward in the league, but there aren't too many centers is what I meant.

[@markkers1]

I have no idea why Howard is criticized so harshly. I've watched him for countless years and it's not fair to say "he's a baby" or "he's an awful player" because frankly his work ethic and dedication to the team he is on is enormous. Plus to people who are comparing Howard to Kareem, Wilt or Malone; that's an incredibly inaccurate comparison considering the game has changed significantly since their years. Just the same for comparing Jordan and Lebron, you can't. Different players, different lives and different societies. These phenomenal athletes need to stop being judged because it's their life and at the end of the day they are playing the game while you are watching them from the sidelines. You have no right to judge.

[@Vaelis01]

The problem a lot of people have with Howard is that until last year, he had no real post game. He has always had the potential to be a great post up bigman, he was just late to develop that part of his game.

[@markkers1]

Yeah but he's still only 28 years old so doing well in the post in the NBA at around age 26-27 isn't too shabby...especially since it was the only thing he was lacking. I just think he deserves respect, people criticize him for his decisions and only base their judgements of him from leaving Orlando. Nobody knows the real reasons besides him and his agent. I just think that what he does on the court replicates his work ethic. If he wasn't working hard (which many people think) he would be ending up like Andrew Bynum who not too long ago was competing with Howard as the number one center. Sure he has had knee problems but there are many reports and interviews of his awful work ethic. Just saying Howard is a phenomenal player and should be treated as one.

It wouldve looked way less dramatic if you actually put stuff that mattered. #x southeast division champs? Nba community assist award? Dunk contest winner and runner up? Heck I wouldnt even put eastern conference champion up there but whatever. And you didnt need to put 7 all NBA selections if u were gonna list it out.

He could've become one of the greatest centers. He could redeem himself in Atlanta, though.

[@LoganskiVids]

Are we all going to ignore just how good of a passer Hedo was? 😂

[@SugarKalamay]

try shooting a tennis ball in a tennis ball sized hoop. then you'll know how shaq and howard feels when they shoot free throws

[@rosstheboss5962]

Yao Ming was perfectly fine

[@SugarKalamay]

He had small hands and wingspan for his height 7'5 for a 7'5 guy shaq's is 7'7 howard is 6'11 with a 7'5 wingspan and relatively large hands.

[@chrismooney9275]

Ross theboss Yao was tall but perfectly in proportion. His hands and arms were smaller than Howards. Guys like Howard are really out of proportion - very long arms, huge hands. This makes them freakishly athletic, but not great shooters

[@PreciseGameplay]

Shaq and Dwight suck at free throws and shooting because their form is terrible, not because of their size.

[@langstoncooks8326]

EternallyInebriated nah it wouldn't matter. They are like Wilt . Too strong. Oh they shoot from three point range then I would see the obvious difference

[@chrismooney9275]

You know, Dwight is bound to be a first ballot hall of famer. He'll probably average a double/double his entire career. He'll probably retire as one of the best rebounders and defensive players in the history of the game. And he can also score. If you look at rebounds per minute stats, the only people better in the history of the sport are Russell and Chamberlain. And they were playing in a much easier era, for big men

[@mildchaos6037]

Nick Jim Tell that to Robin Lopez, Dirk and Tyson Chandler. D12 has arguably been the best playoff performer for Houston the past 2 seasons

[@Ep1cxxPredat0r]

Should be renamed Supermans Top Plays cause that's what he used to be. Not he's just Dwight. Hasn't played the same since leaving Orlando. He seemed more into the games when he used to play for the Magic going for every single block and dunking on anyone in his way. Now he's changed.

[@underoath257]

I'm not sure what you're talking about though, he's the same player in Houston today and a little better I think. He's averaging 19ppg despite being the third option on offense (Harden is a supreme ball hog!) and still a beast on the boards grabbing 13rebs per game. His defense is still superb, and his post moves has noticeably improved.

[@zacharybobst4507]

He should never had the nickname superman hes no Shaq so i dont know what your talking about :/ hes just tall and can jump shaq least had moves :P

[@underoath257]

TBH I don't even care about those nicknames. What I'm trying to say is Dwight is a lot better today and his post moves has improved immensely.

[@sanityitself9721]

Timothy Quiros i think what he meant is no more great highlights from D12
