if he retired today Sean Jean, he would be…he hasnt won a title no, but his list of accomplishments are endless

I respectfully disagree. Freakish athlete with crazy potential, great defender, above average overall player.

And Shaq wasn’t a defensive liability in his prime. That’s silly. He was an All defense first teamer.

Shaq was what 27 when he first won a title? But he will never be the dominant force Shaq was on the offensive end of the floor. At the same time he will never be the defensive liability that Shaq was. Dwight is a freak but no where near as freakish as Shaq was. The guy gives up 3 inches and 50 pounds to Shaq.

Right, but Dwight hasn’t done anything yet. I didn’t say he won’t. My points are in dispute that he is a HOF as of today. Not his entire career.

Anyway, I know winning has nothing to do with HOF, but he really hasn’t won a thing other than the one title year. He is nowhere even remotely near the level Shaq was at.

@Sean Jean my man the Canes winning the BCS title this year…you know it!…but Howard is the most dominant big man since Shaq…he will no doubt be in the hall

Ha. Yeah right. The Canes will be better without Jacory, but I think they’ll still suck. They’ll miss Miller a ton.

They’ve already etched Iblocka’s name on the award.

DPOY isn’t won on blocks alone. Plus, I could average 2 blocks a game in the middle for that squad.

Besides river walk wont be about winning once Duncan and Pop retire after this year.

Unless they win the Championship, I don’t think this happens this year. But when Duncan retires, Pop is going to retire with him.

Pencil them in for 50 wins next year. They’re building the depth to overcome the loss of Duncan, as long as Pop sticks around. Parker doesn’t turn 30 until May.

Why would they do that when they could get Tiago Splitter, Kawhi Leonard and parts from the Spurs?

I mentioned this yesterday, but I wonder how much the top 3 for that team playing 28 mpg will help them out come playoff time. Their top 12 is pretty ridiculous, and they legit win games with their second unit playing more minutes than the first. Buford/Pops just working the league this year.

Not really relevant to the HOF. If that were the case you would have to kick a bunch out for ‘never really won anything’.

I’m all for stopping this Reggie Miller business before it becomes official

Chandler def making a case for DPOY, but that will be #4 in a row for D Howard this year…he won it for not even playing the past 2 games before the Knicks loss

Dude’s an incredible defensive player, but he hasn’t really won anything or developed any semblance of an offensive game. The Ben Wallace comparison is pretty spot on in my eyes, except Wallace won more games.

Settle down now… I don’t think he’s first ballot if he retires now, but if he has 8 more years like his first 8, he’ll have been the best center in the league for 10+ years run. He’s a petulant d-bag who never won anything, but so far that’s what LeBron is too.

Because Dwight has been to that shitty town and wishes not to live there 40 percent of the year.

If Dwight is serious about winning, he’d go to the River Walk. If instead he cares about pretty towns who are indifferent if their team constantly underachieves, then lucky you.
