[@kite36]

I mean it’s very simple, he won his championship in 2020 solidifying his resume, started playing iffy in 2021 and then didn’t have a job, played in Taiwan and getting good sponsorship deals out of it. Then the news came out again that he’s a booty bandit so now they’re not tryna let him back in the NBA.

Dwight has always been underrated and not given the credit he deserves but I do have to admit some of it he brings on himself. The Van Gundy interview...tell me that wasn't cringe as hell. Remember after he won the finals he got exposed for cheating? Remember not even a year later he got accused of rape by a dude? Then he tried claiming we're hating on him for being gay? Like nah the gay thing ain't a problem it's the rape we want addressed Dwight..lol.

[@lougeiling8799]

the thing i hate the most is how people act like he was bad after leaving Orlando yet Dwight averaged a double double every year but 4 and one of those 4 he was .8 rebounds away not saying he was on the elite level but he was a top 10 center almost every year after

[@flavianojorge4543]

He was a top-5 Center when he was in Houston. Unfortunately for him, the game evolved to a 3-point shootout. You are absolutely corrupt.

[@fobinc]

I personally think Dwight got bullied after his Orlando days. Shaq did a 180 on him after he donned the Superman logo. The Lakers had a guard favored coach, but because it's LA media, they blamed Dwight for the failure. After that, I think age and his drive just sort of disappeared.

[@jgadventures4161]

I agree and i think he really was injured with LA the first time and the front office should have reeled kobe in instead of allowing him to bully and run Dwight out of town constantly trashing him in the media

[@madrush24]

I remember Howard when he wore the Superman cape in the NBA dunk contest. He was incredible.

[@EAZYMONEYSNIPER7]

The fact that Carmelo Anthony made the NBA top 75 over Dwight is still crazy to me.. it's one of the biggest NBA snubs ever. He's got more individual accolades plus a championship..

[@ADG.Est.1988]

Carmelo earned his spot. It was Anthony Davis over Dwight that shocked everyone shit i don't think Dame should have been top 75 over Dwight

[@justsomeguywithastache7558]

I don’t know basketball crazyyyy in-depth in terms of statistics but man Dwight NOT being on the NBA 75 team is criminal 😂🫤

[@IYPITWL]

They didn't put this man in top75 just because he's a little weird. DH was a monster and I loved him in Orlando. Felt like the 2nd coming of Shaq.

[@cheesehead9555]

The nba changed, traditionally centers are supposed to receive the ball and score, block and rebound. But now they are expected to play like a guard. They must be capable of taking threes, pass the ball around, set up screens and assist.

[@christopherhennington5186]

I don’t think Dwight is overrated, I think he was like a Dennis Rodman with no Jordan then he played with Kobe and that’s when he started acting weird. He was a good on defense.

[@Lisa-rq1oe]

I use to love to see Dwight play .He is one of my favorite players.Dwight I wish you well ❤😂👍👏

[@VictorRippe]

He didn’t dominate bro he scored 18-21 ppg great is 27+ I’m 26 yo everyone knew Dwight was good but he wasn’t a legendary center, he was only athletic he was never a top center of all time. And in that era no other good centers played, so he had no competition and all the attention. It’s like if BAM Adebayo was the only good big man in the NBA now.

[@joeyhoy1995]

Underrated? Half the internet thinks this guy walks on water. He literally disappeared when his athletism started to fade. He had little offensive game other than rebound and dunk. Same thing happened with Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and a dozen other guys.

[@legittaco5899]

People don't disrespect people like Dennis Rodman for his reliance on of athleticism for rebounding and defensive purposes. Those two things require a ton of skill to master, it's just that athleticism is required to reach the highest prestige in those categories. Obviously, his ability will fade more once he gets old, but pretending like athleticism automatically makes you a 3X DPOY winner is naive. Athleticism shouldn't be used as an excuse to discount a players' high IQ and intangibles.

[@bronzremix]

Before watching the complete video, I think what happened with D12 was being compared to Shaq and not winning any chips as the best player on the team, He’s definitely better then a lot of these starting centers RIGHTNOW, but can’t get out his own head about not carrying teams to the finals as much as Shaq did

[@flavianojorge4543]

He for me is a top-10 Center of all time. The only Centers cleqrly ahed of him are: 1. Kareem 2. Wilt 3. Shaq 4. Bill 5. Jokic 6. Hakeem 7. Malone 8. Robinson

the LA trade ruined him. He needed to adapt and beat his man down the floor on every fast break in that system. And he was not that

[@dr.christopherdiaz4473]

This was the case for the entire league back before the three point shot took over the game. Fast break basketball was always the first option, even when using the triangle for setting up your offense. “Showtime” in the 80s was when the shift towards that style made the game more fun to watch.

[@MadSUPANOVA]

2009 Contract politics. So frustrating Mahic could have beaten Lakers.. Richardson was in for Jameer Nelson.. Richardson was balling out, jumpers hitting Lakers could not stop him. Hot hands. Coaches take him out for healed up' broken hand Jameer and just like that... the fire was gone. Magic had them. So frustrating when it comes to availability in contract- if able player plays. After that loss, Magic been trash since

Steve Nash Addressed this issue , that Dwight won't even like to pick and roll , despite the fact that he was bad at posting up. This got worse because he was getting older , and the NBA changed its directions for becoming a 3pt shooting league and fast pace offense. For now , he is in Taiwan proving himself he still wants in the league . Or you thought ? Because he was spread with allegations , on a threesome.

Dwight wasn't to wrong though. Kobe in retrospect isn't as clutch or as great a shooter as people think. Kobe was pretty inefficient at times . H won though too which helps your winning player image. But idk I would take steph curry over Kobe any day . Steph curry shits on Kobe in efficiency. Kobe would often put up 25 shots for 30 points. Thats not that great. Alot of players can put up 30 on 25+ shots . Curry needs maybe 15 sometimes lol. Very rarely would Kobe Hava a point count that doubled his shots taken
