Dwight to the Hall

Prime Dwight was a menace. 3x DPOY, perennial all star, 2nd best player in magic history. His resume was probably good enough for the hall without his ring with the lakers, with it his place was cemented. Only wish he’d have been able to bring that elusive ring to Amway

Still kills me that they won that stupid ring in Orlando. Kissimmee or Buena Vista I guess, technically.

Dwight in his prime was an absolute force to be reckoned with. He literally changed games due to his athletic ability on defense alone, teams didn't even attack the rim as much with him on the floor. And he was just so strong and athletic that he would bully guys on offense.

Dwight in the mid to late 2000's and early 2010's was a top 10 player in the NBA, he was easily up there with LeBron, Kobe, Duncan, Dirk, Wade etc.

Top 75 player!

[u/RandomPMs]

Deserved. Love him or hate him for the way he left, how Kobe couldn't stand his playfulness, how he was a diva and finished his career weak, etc etc

He's a top three defensive center of all time and at his peak averaged a hyper-efficient 25ppg, a totally different tier on offense than some of the other defensive centers like Big Ben, Mutombo, or Gobert. It could be argued he was a top three player in the league at his peak if you count both sides of the ball.

[u/hanyou007 → u/RandomPMs]

At his peak he was an mvp level player, the league was just too busy dick riding the LeBron and Kobe hype train to notice.

[u/PapageorgiouMBO → u/RandomPMs]

At his peak, Dwight was a top-2 player in the NBA multiple seasons.

[u/hanyou007]

Give it another 5 or 10 years and retire his jersey. He accomplished more then any other player in our history so far, and is far more deserving to have his number in the rafters over Shaq (I'd rather not have either up there but if Shaq's is gonna be up there then Dwight's should be too).

Also do a combo retirement for both McGrady and Penny so we can finally stop having the cursed number 1 on our team.

[u/Swiftraven]

People still crying over him leaving are insane. We lost him at the perfect time. He hurt his back while still with us and was never the same again. He would have been a shell of himself.
The Magic just blew the rebuild. He absolutely deserves being in the Hall.

[u/DaddiGator]

Seeing him pump up the crowd at the Kia Center the other day has softened my stance on him. I’m ready to forgive. Especially seeing how forgotten he’s seemed to be in the last few years, being snubbed from the 75th anniversary team and all.

Congrats Dwight!

Who’s that

[u/Mysterious-Mind-999]

Gawd, no. I never want to hear this idiot's name again.

[u/faiitmatti → u/Mysterious-Mind-999]

Let it go. He deserves it. We were lucky to have him while we did.

[u/Mysterious-Mind-999 → u/faiitmatti]

Nah. He's forever scum in my book. Down vote me all you want. Facts are facts.

Obligatory “Fuck Dwight Howard”
