Is Dwight Howard the most overrated player in NBA history?

[PAYTON20]

Remember when everyone thought he was an MVP candidate?

He's the biggest pussy ever.

Can't shoot FTs, has no offensive game. Not clutch. Stupid. Serial fouler.

Then he just laughs it off like it's not a big deal. He is a cancer for teams. Houston will go nowhere with Howard

[darkhat]

he is a pure lifetime loser

anyone who thinks he is a winner is a loser (unless they are a friend)

I seriously have zero respect for this guy as an athlete

[Cuse0323]

Doesn't have what it takes mentally to take advantage of his physical gifts.

[Big Bear]

No.

Adam Morrison.

[Vegas39]

No.

Yet he has two championship rings

[The Kraken]

Adam Morrison is not overrated. I don't know anyone who thinks he's worth even two pubic hairs.

Yes, DH has to be up there. A bit like Tony Romo

[PAYTON20]

No.

Adam Morrison.

lol @ Morrison.

except he was never a star of a team, MVP candidate, and on the verge of leading his team to a title

[The Giant]

Tracy McGrady.

[No coincidences]

Typical NBA bum. Was told he was a star his whole life. Acted like a star. Sort of played like a star (at least individually). Then got paid like a star. Now he just doesn't give a flying f\*\*k. No motivation to get better anymore or prove anything to anyone when you have that kind of guaranteed money in the bank.

Do you think J.R. Smith, for instance, gives two shits that Woodson is benching him? He gets his money no matter what. Hell, he probably came to the game high the other night.

[SteelRain]

Overrated as hell but the public loves him and he will keep getting voted in for all star games while legit elite superstars like Stephen Curry get snubbed.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

when he didn't sign with the lakers, i knew he didn't give a fukk about winning a championship.

the guy is a big fraud. his game hasn't improved at all. thought mchale would give him some pointers...

[TwoWays]

i watch him play regularly and he gets outmuscled by physical big men all day. He has too much finesse in his game and needs to just do away with those soft hook shots. Start posting, back his guy in, fake, and dunk the damn ball. Howard should go ask Blake Griffin about post play, cause Griffin dominates down low. Howard should be more dominate than Griffin, but isn't.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

pal wtf? griffin? you fukking kidding me? he has mchale if he really wanted to learn low post moves. the lazy fukk doesn't want to learn or improve.

[The Kraken]

He is what he is now. Hes not reinventing his game

[jtoler]

Whats overrated about him, he just about dominates on a nightly basis.

Name another center who is better.

[Git Lo]

Name another center who is better.

DMC easy

[jtoler]

DMC easy

K thats one and probably the only one which is why I dont see why Howard gets so much hate.

[jtoler]

Perhaps Lopez also yet he's always hurt, they are arguably better because they stretch the floor not as good defensively. Ive given Howard some slack from past years, he is what he is, but you cant fought a center who gets you about 19 and 11 on a mostly jump shooting team IMO.

the lakers are garbage

blake griffin doesnt have a post game

Which Blake Griffin is that? For the Clippers? He never scores with his back to the basket, always facing it. Not really a post game.

[Hench]

Melo is much more overrated. Howard at least has detractors.

[jjgold]

Lopez was never even rated he's a nonfactor in the NBA

I think Howard is more of the most overpaid player in the NBA

[oldscho0led]

Chris Paul. Not even close.

[Big Bear]

Sean May was a bust too

[DOM-Ganador]

Been saying this for years.

It is the epitemy of "dog size, fight dog"

Reminds me a bit of Ralph Sampson. Without Hakeem, he would never have won a big game.

I also reaslise the shortage of decent 5s in the league today, but it would take me about 10 seconds to
name 15+ centers all-time who I would want on my team before DH.

[Ralphie1412]

Blake Griffin is the next monster bust. And it blows my mind that people cant see it. I have said it since he was in high school. The dude can dunk and jump out of the stadium. Thats it. I wouldnt be surprised if Doc Rivers tried to get him dealt in the next 5 years. They could get some really good players selling Blake now to a team that needs the big dunks to sell tickets. Griffin/Jordan combo is a joke.

THAT being said......

Yes right now Dwight Howard is the most overrated player. He should be dominating 30-20 every night and you never hear anything. I just dont see that defensive player of the year finals contender kid at all anymore.

Agree re: both. And like I said before, they're already paid like superstars even though they aren't even complete players, so there's really nothing left to prove.

[darkhat]

No team will ever win with this heartless cancer

He literally has said he doesn't need to win a championship to be a winner

Biggest mistake Houston ever made is signing him

I thought it's been well established long time ago...

[face]

blake has improved and developed a mid range jumper
that changed everything, bc teams don't guard him from 14 feet out and dare him to shoot it
has been hitting them
is averaging 22 pts a game and 10 rebounds, he is fine

[ChalkyDog]

Antoine Walker.
