That's what makes this picture (emblematic of all the hype around Dwight at that C spot) so disrespectful:

I'm like what are you getting at...*it dawns upon me*

Ain't no way Dwight is an all-time great C...and I'd be hard pressed to say he's next in line. Good but not great. This year shows that much. Even if you excuse him for this year because he's in the #KobeSystem and been playing with back and shoulder injuries, how do you excuse the significant limitations to his game prior to this season? Offensively...very limited low-post moves (Hakeem >>>), no hook (Kareem >>>), no mid-range game (TD >>>), limited passing ability (Vlade >>>), no up and under (McHale >>>), moderate backdown game (Shaq >>>). What does he do that's special on the offensive side...beside catching alley-oops and cleaning up the glass? Bynum's better offensively. Brook, too. Hell, Andre Miller's got better low-post game. Defensively, he's won DPOY a few times, led the league in blocked shots a couple times, and led the league in rebounding four times. So he can be a force, particularly as a weak-side, last-resort, help defender. But let's be clear, and this is not his fault, he hasn't really had to face the caliber of player of a Ewing or Mr. Robinson on a regular basis. They would cook that boy alive.

Dino Radja would be a perennial all-star today :russ:


Dino Radja - [MIX 2012]

:ooh:

I don't know what's more wild.

1. The fact that Dino Radja got a highlight video on Youtube.

2. The fact that dude was more raw than I remember.

3. I can't think of one active center today that could pull off most of those moves Dino was cranking out....Roy Hibbert would break his hip tryna pull off that spin move 50 seconds in.

:russ:

ni99as saying D12 could F with DR and Big Pat , just stop it right now before I have to embarrass you.

Dwight howard would average 5 pts against Ewing and Robinson. 5 boards, 4 in garbage time. Double quintuple avg for Dwight Howard. Meanwhile Ewing and Robinson would be feasting because Howard would foul them or Ewing would just shoot over him. It would be a slaying.

I see what you did there:obama:.

What I said and have always maintained that Dwight is one of the best defensive players of all time when healthy. He's not Dream,Duncan,KG, or Drob but he's amazing. He's a classic defensive anchor that covers up the mistakes of his teammates with how he protects the rim.

Offensively, of course he's not your ideal number one option(and theres tons of C's better)and hes flawed, but as a number one option he's done as much if not more then Pretty much all time center aside from Dream and Duncan without an elite Guard by his side.

Multiple 50 win seasons, ECF, Finals Appearance(losing to Bean is no shame) etc

Healthy Dwight is a 22/14/3 on 60% guy that can Lead you to 50 Wins with mediocre talent and almost guarantees you an elite defensive team. I'd just love to see him play with an elite Guard

Patrick Ewing Mentors Dwight Howard - YouTube

Even Patrick knows

Patrick with Craky Knees would give Dwight that work

Patrick broke it down perfectly. "He wants to come in here with the singing and dancing...me I was serious. Had my game face on"

"Just have to get him to make that shot"

"If I played against you in my day, I'd give you 50". CTHU

just wanted to say that david Robinson would make dwight Howard look so foolish he'd quit basketball to host 'let's make a deal' which is his true calling anyway.
