Too bad he'll never have Kareem's touch

I would cry too.

We talking about the same dude who said he's going to Brooklyn no matter what, then opted in with the Magics. The same dude who said he's staying with the Magics because he's "loyal", then requested another trade after the season ended. Hopefully he signs a long term deal with the Lakers and ends this nonsense already.

But but he's leaving after this season.

ORLANDO, Fla. —

During a news conference on Thursday, Magic center Dwight Howard said that loyalty to the team and to the city of Orlando drove his decision to stay for another year.

"I'm not like those guys that people try to pay me to be. I'm loyal,'' Howard said. "I just love this city too much. I want to win a championship."

Howard said it all came down to loyalty to a city and a team that took a chance on an 18-year-old high school kid eight years ago.

Howard picked up the option for the final year of his contract with Orlando on March 15. But since then, he has grown increasingly disgruntled with the organization, even telling people close to him that he feels the Magic blackmailed him into signing the "opt-in" clause.

Howard shared his feelings of being blackmailed by the Magic with the NBA Players Association last week, sources said. He -- either himself or through his representatives -- approached the union wondering if he might have a legal complaint against the club.

The goal of such a complaint would be to eliminate his "opt-in," thereby allowing Howard to become a free agent this summer.

that was my thought. Capt. is towering over him.

Dwight was 6"9 without shoes when he was 18, he's a somewhat undersized center like Zo & Moses.

Kareem was 7"1 without shoes (Shaq & Wilt were around 7"1 without shoes as well).

It's not a matter of needing one, it's like a gun, having it is good just in case you need it. He's not as massive as Shaq and at some point the athleticism will leave him and his game currently is 100% based around his athletic ability.

As big as Shaq was, his post game, footwork and post moves were WORLDS better than Dwights, and he was the biggest center in the league.

Once he learn that hook though...a jumpshot?please

[Majestic Pape]

Damn...Kareem is taller than him....by a lot more than I thought he'd be.

I thought they'd be the same height.
