Dwight Howard is a 1x NBA champion, 8x all-star, 8x All-Nba, 5x All-Defense, 3x DPOTY, 5x rebounding champ player. When you've got guys like Bill Walton, Reggie Miller, and Damian Lillard on the list Dwight HAS to make it. Easily the biggest snub
-
2013-2019 when Dwight was “no good” anymore 16pts 12rbs on 59%FG His “bad years” are better than most centers peak.
-
I agree with Nick leaving Dwight Howard off this list absolutely delegitimizes it.
-
I hate how people say Dwight fell off like he just stopped being good one day. The man literally broke his back, most humans are never the same after that
-
AD and Dame didn’t deserve to be in the Top 75 YET! Dwight is for sure top 75 maybe even Top 50.
-
I take Dwight's first 10 years in the NBA over Anthony Davis best years. Aside from the DPOY and everything else, people forget that Dwight only missed 5 games in his first 9 years. Dwight took his teams further than AD with a lesser team. Its funny....
-
Dwight Howard deserve to be on that list you can't take away Orlando..
-
Shaq definitely has ruined the public perception of multiple centers because of his own fragile ego.
-
Including the original top 50 just makes this list a top 25 of the last 25 years.. If they wanted a true top 75, all players would have to be ranked again.
-
Bruh how did Dame make the list before Dwight. Dwight accomplished more between 2008-2011 than Dame ever has in his career.
-
Lillard was the easiest player to take of this list, never an all NBA 1st team, no DPOY, and no finals appearances
-
Sidney Moncrief was the consensus best 2 guard in the league before the Mike Jordan era.
-
Shaq pulled a skip bayless on Dwight.
-
I remember when it was a debate in their primes who would you start your franchise with out of Lebron, Melo, Wade, and Dwight. Phil Jackson said Dwight Howard and alot of people didn't think he was crazy because that's how effective he was.
-
Anthony Davis did not deserve it over Dwight by no means. Dwight was far more dominant than AD period for a five year stretch and still really good for another three years stop it
-
Broussard suggesting to leave off a 5x champion, 2x DPOY, 7x rebounding champion, 7x all defensive first team, 1x all defensive second team is just pathetic.
-
If Dwight retired in 2016 he would’ve easily been on the list. His accolades alone are better than a lot of players
-
Tony Parker should definitely be on the list. He was a playoff phenom.
-
People also forget that Dwight's career also happened in a transition of style of play. When he entered the league, big men where the center piece of NBA teams. Then as he got to year 7-8 of his career the NBA switched to a guard driven league where stretch 5's where in demand and the style of play changed.
