He said he’s top 20 or 15 lol
Hopefully 1st Ballot HOFer
The reason Dwight isn't considered a great is because he didn't reach his full potential. That size, skill and power didn't equal dominance or rings. When Gil say you can't Grandfather them in, then I guess when baseball players hit more HR than Hank Aaron, then we should forget about Aaron accomplishment in his era. Next thing Gill gonna call for taking players out of the Hall of Fame. Shit Gilly, maybe the Lakers next two drafted players should don the 8 and 24 Lakers Jersey. Dwight should have been more of a dominate force, he was soft, I didn't say it, Kobe said it.
That 1st time with the Lakers messed up his legacy. Coming in with an injury and having Kobe calling him soft, didn't help either. The media ate the nonsense up and ran with it.
Dwight should have been there ahead of AD. For real.
Patrick ewing had the longevity DH didn't have. DH got hurt early which explains why ewing was a 11 time all star to DH 8
Look, it was a travesty that Dwight was left off the Top 75. But people should stop taking the old heads, who were already in the top 50, off to make a spot for Dwight. It's just paying respect to the older generations. They may seem unskilled to us, but during their time, they were great based on how the game was being played. To me, AD and Dame shouldn't have made it in the top 75 because (1) they don't have an MVP or FMVP award and (2) they were too young at the time of the announcement. In 2021, they had only been in the league for 9 years. They should have been on the wait list for top 100.
Nvr better than pat
t-mac didn't make which is crazy
Dwight can’t fxxk with Pat cut it out. Stats tell a quarter of the story dawg.
I agree pure basketball-wise he should be top 75. But why is nobody talking about the real reason, there is a "reason" why he's not in the top 75… his personality! He's been called "unlikeable" early in his career by players, not the media but players. He's been called "soft" by the likes of Kobe. He's been called "immature attitude" and so on and so on…..
Dwight isn't on Barkley level 😂😂plenty of guys who didn't mske top 75 that could've. Alonzo mourning, Mutumbo, Dennis Johnson, Pau Gasol, Bernard King, Alex English etc.
Stop the Ewing disrespect. Dwight isn't better than Ewing. Dwight wouldn't be a top 5 center in Jordan's Era
Idk if yall understood what he said 50 people wasn't supposed to be in they was in bc they old that means 50 new people supposed to be in and howard one of them thats crazy maybe gil too
Dwight wanted to prove to Kobe that he can play through the pain. That's what ruined his back. Even Kobe himself said Dwight should let his back heal first. Ron Artest said Dwight's back didn't heal right because he rushed to come back too soon.
Look at resumes blindly across Eras isn't it. You have to watch footage
3:44 Top 75 10000% they missed the mark but top 20/25 is a stretch
Dwight Howard, by far, is the most individually accomplished. 3 straight DPOY, only player in NBA history to achieve that. 5X rebounding leader, 2X blocks leader, 6X All-NBA, 5X All-defensive, 8X All-Star.
This shouldn't even be a question, and he's more deserving than Dame, who made Top 75 based on the first 8 years of his career. Howard accomplished way more in the first 8 years of his career than Dame did.
Somebody told Gil the pilot analogy and he been running with it lmao
Patrick Ewing averaged 21 points, and 2.1 blocks over his career.
Dwight averaged 16 and 1.8 over his career. So I’d say Ewing was a way better scorer and better shot blocker. All Stats.
Somebody told Gil the pilot analogy and he been running with it lmao
Do Gil realizes Patrick Ewings competition at the Center position ????? Howard played in the weakest era of Centers.
I’m 52 Dwight not in top 75 in my book
There you go shitting on a OG to elevate a new one! First off, Dwight Howard was an underachiever and a Diva! What centers was he battling against? And if you can sit there with a straight face and believe Dwight was better than Ewing then you only an NBA convenience historian! Dwight could not slide in Ewing s place and take the Knicks as far as he did!
The game is different, so of course stats and rewards are going to be inflated. Plus, we know of a lot of superstars that didn't get the awards they deserve. So how do you compare eras?
Do your own list and call it the real top 75. Could go viral.
You cannot watch basketball for the last two decades and not say Dwight belonged on the top 75 list and lets be real some of the guys on the original top 50 should've been moved out
DH over Dame, Ewing, Miller and many more on 60-75plyers list.
Dwight Howard aint no top 20 lets be honest
Dwight was not better than pat
Dwight Howard is 3 times the player Damian Lilliard is….. how this is debatable at all is mind blowing to me.
If Dwight gets in the 75, then who is taken off?
Dwight had niggas scared to drive to the paint 😂😂 Now a days these young niggas back flipping to the rim
TMAc and Vince probably i agree not being there.. but Dwight??? AD and Dame should not been there. Way too early..
Put some respect on CB's name….MVP of the league while MJ was playing.
He should have made it but don't downplay Pat he was the face of the Knicks he was an all time great that didn't have another offensive player to help him in a physical league going against the greatest Centers ever.
Bro thank you Gil
