i didnt like when they traded ron for metta. yeah. they have identical everything, but it caused ron to disappear. Nobody has seen him since. worldpeace has to have suttin to do with it the scouting agrees with me as when they look at his paperwork it says "player has a playing ability similar to Ron Artest" well done baskbabest
The problem with Dwight is 1. He never added anything to his game since he came into the league, despite working with McHale AND Olajuwon at some point & 2. after the 09-10 season, he didn't seem motivated anymore. As much as I don't care for Kobe, he was right about Dwight, he doesn't have a winning mentality.
With Charlotte, Dwight is back with a coach that he had the most success in his career with. Steve Clifford. I think Charlotte is hoping they could at least see half of that. They really don't need him to be 100% like he was in Orlando.
During his time as a Laker, the core of the team never played together for full season, Nash, Gasol, Kobe, and Dwight all took turns treating their own injuries, which is the main reason they were able to win championship. In fact the lakers made a strong push to finish the season as 7th seed in west, was largely due to Dwight put the team on his shoulder. Although they got swept by the spurs, if Dwight never had a winning mentality, I bet the lakers would not make the finals; and at Houston, his numbers looked decent was largely because "James Harden" was still sharing the ball with him. Only God knew the number of times where Dwight had firmly established position at the post and to be waived off by Harden. There isn't or wasn't any player could be in rhythm if they only touch the ball once every five or ten possession.
You're probably right Nate but I think that's only because they're at a lower level to start. I just don't think any team could succeed at a high level with Howard on the roster.
I agree with almost everything, but you know that dwight plans on shooting the three-ball? He said that he is gonna develop it in the offseason. And you said that he would not shoot threes
I don't recall saying he would not shoot 3's. I heard that news Bence and I'm doubt he could do it. He's just not a shooter, if it were that easy he should have started focusing on it long ago.
Well, this year he started to hit some mid-range shots, which he said he would develop. So i guess, he will start hitting some threes next season, but i guess we will have to wait to find out.
Honestly, I don't think this is a fair assessment of Dwight. You left out the injury aspects, which as much as anyone can try to downplay that, back injury can screw someones career(Tony Romo? Larry Bird?), I think that is to big a reason to ignore. Also take into account his teammates and teams. The last time we saw Dwight Howard happy and succesful, was when he was the number 1 option... in Orlando.... Where even you made no mention of issues for dwight. His entire "lack of winning drive", could purely be discouragement he brings on himself, for not being the player he knows he could have been. Just a theory.
I tend to stay away from predictions that don't have a lot of past performance to base them on. No one could predict much about Lonzo or any draft picks, not even the experts who pick them.
yep which is crazy. Howard all he needed was a sky-hook, dream shake....something his height and hops should have been close to unstoppable. But he always just seems to be there. i feel he should have been given a bit more time on the Lakers though. He's kind of like prime Vince Carter, so much potential just never materialized.
lol Whoever is narrating this didn't mention him having BACK SURGERY not one time,, which can decline ANYBODY'S career.. Its a reason why his career declined..Do you think that might have been the reason why?
lol Dude whoever you are talkin on this video your logic on this is so bad on this its not even funny,, He made the lakers worse!? smh first off he was coming fresh off BACK SURGERY which can set anybody's career back ,CLEARLY you'd be a step slow after going through something like that (Which you didn't mention once in this video) secondly that team included an aging Kobe Bryant (who's not the most willing passer in the world) and Steve Nash who didn't play AT ALL THE WHOLE YEAR because of injury..which you didn't either, and coached by Mike D'antoni..if you know the NBA mike D'antoni's system is about pushing the pace getting up & down the court, that's why they brought in Steve Nash, so him getting hurt threw everything off, So Dwight Howard going to LA didn't go as planned like everybody and their uncle thought it was going to,yet they still made the playoffs, not sure how Dwight is making the team worse in that regard, Clearly you made this video to Bash him rather than praise him, but thats perfectly fine because he's going to the hall of fame.
Dwight can't shoot and that is necessary for today's big men of the nba. If he played in a different era he would have averaged more and have a much better career.
it's not just Dwight Howard.... this era is full of players with lack of championship mentality... like I dont know why people are only pointing out Dwight Howard.... smh
I completely agree about the lack of championship mentality. But Howard seems to have it less than all the other players. There's just no drive there. The players that come to mind right now that have that mentality the most are Westbrook and Draymond Green but Howard seems to have it the least.
Basketball's in my opinion howard was the best center in the NBA when he was in his prime. after that he got hurt and joined LOSER teams what did people expect him to do.
Adidas athletes and injury, name a elite basketball player who's was signed to adidas who's body did not crumble gilbert arenas knee injury derrick rose knee injury kevin garnets body fell apart quickly tracy mcgrady knee injury josh smith compare his early years to his mid years you'll see the difference joakim noah is trash eric gordan injury riddled carear and many more gallo had a serve injury jrue holiday addias athletes ever get injured or don't live up to potential
My video on the Clippers covers his time on the team and the question of him leaving. As for his success on the Rockets, it's so uncertain. They have 2 great point guards now which seems like a conflict but they must have a plan for it. Doubtful they'll compare to Golden State but not sure if I have too much more to say about it.
By the title of the video alone. 6:07 "he's bad for his team". Also, in the end when you said that there's a pattern that just tells me that you're basing everything you said on pseudo-scientific bullshit.
I'm sorry you get that impression. I don't mean in the locker room, I mean on the floor he's bad for his team. Just my conclusion from watching him over the years and looking back at all the facts I stated.
I've watched him over the years as well. I'm not the biggest D12 fan but to all but say that he is not valuable to an NBA roster is ridiculous. First of all, the Hawks gave up so little for him because they're trying to rebuild. The Lakers were a disaster in his 1 year there. Nash and Gasol barely played, Blake was his usual injury prone self, they had Earl Clark start some games, and their bench was nonexistent. Houston had coaching and management problems. I'm pretty sure you knew all this but still chose to ignore all these facts. Also, what do you mean by he leaves every team he joins worse off? Houston is having one of their most successful era in a long time. Atlanta, as I've said, has been falling apart even before Dwight was there. Lakers paid Kobe only to get injured and topped it all off with a no fucks given ceremonial last season for Kobe. And the Magic has just been making terrible decisions (why tf did they get Ibaka again?)
Again WormChemistry, I'm not sure why you get such a negative impression from my video. I agree with most of what you said but stand by the fact that Howard did his part in harming the Lakers that year and became a problem for Houston in his final year. Of course there's other factors in all this but Howard was a big part of all of it.
The Problem is he think he is a star But he isn't! If he konzentrate on Defens rebound and dunk like TristianThompson and Deandre Jordan he would be a Good Center
Have you ever played basketball? If so, with injuries? If no, then that means he is maligned by words. Did you not mentioned he isn't a focal point of today's offenses? The media fueled shit isn't enough for teams to pass, discount or not.
i didnt like when they traded ron for metta. yeah. they have identical everything, but it caused ron to disappear. Nobody has seen him since. worldpeace has to have suttin to do with it the scouting agrees with me as when they look at his paperwork it says "player has a playing ability similar to Ron Artest"
well done baskbabest
Yeah it's a definite conspiracy John, but the world may never know what really happened.
Whoosh.
Haha. Great comment Jacob.
The problem with Dwight is 1. He never added anything to his game since he came into the league, despite working with McHale AND Olajuwon at some point & 2. after the 09-10 season, he didn't seem motivated anymore. As much as I don't care for Kobe, he was right about Dwight, he doesn't have a winning mentality.
3 straight DPOY Awards (never been done before) , a trip to the finals..Thats not a winning mentality to you?
Super R those were his best years. After those years, he became a role player and lost his all star status
ben wallace had 4 straight dpoy awards wdym
This channel is SO UNDERRATED!
With Charlotte, Dwight is back with a coach that he had the most success in his career with. Steve Clifford. I think Charlotte is hoping they could at least see half of that. They really don't need him to be 100% like he was in Orlando.
I hope things change cause I really like the hornets
Pawan Bal I really like the Hornets too!
Howard still a first ballot HOF
Thank you someone in this cancerous comment section has intelligence.
facts
kenny nguyen exactly
No
I'm agree
Finally someone shares my sentiments on Dwight!
It still baffles me that anyone who watched Plumlee play last year, would still say no to a player who has averaged a double-double every season.
Dwight is a hall of famer but his legacy has been tarnished these past few years. I hope he bounces back he was a superstar
He earned his spot while on the Magic, everything since has just been putting his position in Jeopardy.
Basketball's Best his first season with the rockets was actually pretty good
During his time as a Laker, the core of the team never played together for full season, Nash, Gasol, Kobe, and Dwight all took turns treating their own injuries, which is the main reason they were able to win championship. In fact the lakers made a strong push to finish the season as 7th seed in west, was largely due to Dwight put the team on his shoulder. Although they got swept by the spurs, if Dwight never had a winning mentality, I bet the lakers would not make the finals; and at Houston, his numbers looked decent was largely because "James Harden" was still sharing the ball with him. Only God knew the number of times where Dwight had firmly established position at the post and to be waived off by Harden. There isn't or wasn't any player could be in rhythm if they only touch the ball once every five or ten possession.
Hornets won't really rise or decrease in wins with Howard.
You're probably right Nate but I think that's only because they're at a lower level to start. I just don't think any team could succeed at a high level with Howard on the roster.
But other east teams got weak so they will naturally rise
Damn i want back the magic dwight
He doesn't want to win, he just wants to play
I had no idea u liked basketball
Did you just say they traded Ron artest for metta world peace
Fucking haters, He played very good this year in Hornets
When Turkoglu was gone from the magic, Howard was kinda finished
oddly familiar voice. (ALSO I THINK I'M THE 7000TH SUB BECAUSE WHEN I SUBBED IT TURNED TO 7K)
proof: gyazo.com/8d1eb52ebe92ee4172c134a984fd08fd
Looks legit. Congratulations and thank you PremierPilot.
thanks :D i really like your channels and the stuff you post there
He's baaaaaaack!!

LaVar Ball hi lavar
Stay in yo lane SB_Forever

Laughs in 2023 hindsight
Can u do Lonzo predictions?
I tend to stay away from predictions that don't have a lot of past performance to base them on. No one could predict much about Lonzo or any draft picks, not even the experts who pick them.
Thnx for explaining 😀
Great video!!!!!!!! Next could you do a Lonzo Ball video??? 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛
Thanks Desiree.
well actually Shaq got passed around a lot to so
THEEHayden Rush in his later career
He didn't get passed around, he travelled around and success followed him. Very different from getting traded away because you're trash.
He also has injury problems
Nimb1e why
Grandy Maur
Back injury and in lakers his fighting it so this youtuber should know first
Do a predication on free agency this year
If a big trade goes down I'll probably make something about that but that's about as far as I'll go with prediction videos Matrix.
He will bounce back at the hornets believe it
Played 82 games 5 times.
Can't guard the pick and roll for a jump shooting league.
It's because his Kobe relationship
do a la lakers season by season
The dude just doesn't come across as being too smart. I can't say any more because I don't know what goes on in the locker room.
I bet Howard is going to be out of the NBA in about 2 years
It's possible. I stand by the fact that he's good enough to be in the league still but it may come to a point where the teams just don't want him.
yep which is crazy. Howard all he needed was a sky-hook, dream shake....something his height and hops should have been close to unstoppable. But he always just seems to be there. i feel he should have been given a bit more time on the Lakers though. He's kind of like prime Vince Carter, so much potential just never materialized.
lol Whoever is narrating this didn't mention him having BACK SURGERY not one time,, which can decline ANYBODY'S career.. Its a reason why his career declined..Do you think that might have been the reason why?
The video wasn't really meant to focus on his decline. I even said he's still pretty decent.
lol Dude whoever you are talkin on this video your logic on this is so bad on this its not even funny,, He made the lakers worse!? smh first off he was coming fresh off BACK SURGERY which can set anybody's career back ,CLEARLY you'd be a step slow after going through something like that (Which you didn't mention once in this video) secondly that team included an aging Kobe Bryant (who's not the most willing passer in the world) and Steve Nash who didn't play AT ALL THE WHOLE YEAR because of injury..which you didn't either, and coached by Mike D'antoni..if you know the NBA mike D'antoni's system is about pushing the pace getting up & down the court, that's why they brought in Steve Nash, so him getting hurt threw everything off, So Dwight Howard going to LA didn't go as planned like everybody and their uncle thought it was going to,yet they still made the playoffs, not sure how Dwight is making the team worse in that regard, Clearly you made this video to Bash him rather than praise him, but thats perfectly fine because he's going to the hall of fame.

What? He is not a back to the basket player tf
it's not just Dwight Howard.... this era is full of players with lack of championship mentality... like I dont know why people are only pointing out Dwight Howard.... smh
I completely agree about the lack of championship mentality. But Howard seems to have it less than all the other players. There's just no drive there. The players that come to mind right now that have that mentality the most are Westbrook and Draymond Green but Howard seems to have it the least.

Why are you acting like you actually know what's going on in the locker rooms?
When did I do that WormChemistry?
By the title of the video alone. 6:07 "he's bad for his team". Also, in the end when you said that there's a pattern that just tells me that you're basing everything you said on pseudo-scientific bullshit.
I'm sorry you get that impression. I don't mean in the locker room, I mean on the floor he's bad for his team. Just my conclusion from watching him over the years and looking back at all the facts I stated.

dwight is no traditional center.
The Problem is he think he is a star But he isn't!
If he konzentrate on Defens rebound and dunk like TristianThompson and Deandre Jordan he would be a Good Center
Burak Atav nigga can you spell
Howard attitude is bad
I still believe in Howard a little.
Have you ever played basketball? If so, with injuries? If no, then that means he is maligned by words. Did you not mentioned he isn't a focal point of today's offenses? The media fueled shit isn't enough for teams to pass, discount or not.
