Good old days Young non injured Drose Superhuman Dwight Blake dunking on everybody Lbj X Dwade When Kobe is still alive and still playing in nba The Linsanity Remarkable Isaih Thomas in celtics Kobe,Pau,Odom vs Pierce,KG and rondo classic Lakers and Boston rivalry I miss them..
Today's NBA: - flopping - 3pt attempts in every play - more 3 pts - incompetent All star game (some stupid "planked" in the middle of the game) - travelling - more flopping
Despite all that's happened in recent seasons, there's no doubt in my mind that he's a first-ballot Hall of Famer. This dude is still the only player to win three straight DPOY awards. He was a 5-time All-NBA 1st Team member from 2008 to 2012 and was easily the best big man in the game during that span. Stan Van Gundy and his Magic squad were ahead of their time in surrounding Dwight with four shooters; that Magic squad could still do damage in today's era. I really hope Dwight can resurrect his career with a solid final chapter with the Lakers and beyond.
No, not in the modern nba. If he came in during the 90s for sure. Look at AD and joker when playing center. They can shoot 3s dribble the ball up run the offense etc...Dwight didn’t do any of that.
@@jakeman025 as many NBA centers today, he can develop a 3 point shot. Just gotta work and have a coach who trust his shot. He would be the best Center today
Lau TV lol no I’ve watched every lakers game this entire year and playoffs. If he takes a 3 it’s because it’s a blowout that doesn’t mean he has a perimeter game.
Manuel Mangue you’re a fool and a casual. You’re never gonna be a good 3 point shooter if you can’t shoot atleast 70% from the free throw. Which Dwight has never done infact he’s 56% for his career and you want this dude to take 3s?
I think he’d be better today. He was an elite rum runner and defender, and the magic were ahead of their time with him drawing so much attention inside
I think he let the media get to him in LA and Houston. they wanted him to be a traditional big man when he didnt have those tools. but he was quick, explosive, and strong as fuck; perfect for todays game. I think if. he focused on rim running and defense he couldve been an all star player even after the injuries
if you think about it the last time a game was delayed due to the rim being messed was when shaq brought the rim down and Dwight brought the shot clock down. People jus dont realize how strong he was
si lewis nigga he read that play like a book 😂 if his teammates caught on like he did they’d be cooling but he wasn’t guarding the passer or Dwight, that’s just good basketball IQ
So much H8 for this young man following in the footsteps of giants like Shaq & Hakeem. Nice to see him finally get a ring after doing work carrying teams on his back all those years.
Man, people legit used to debate whether they'd start a team with Dwight, lebron, or kobe. You look at ESPN player rankings from those years and there were times he was number 1. Everything they say about giannis these days, they said about Dwight. He was a beast. It's too bad about his later years. Young people nowadays think he's a scrub when he's so far from it.
He’s one of those guys you’d love to play with as a guard. You can just throw it up to him, and on defense If you get blown by he’s there for the block.
Dwight Howard was indeed a nature's extraordinary creature in his prime. However, basketball player wise, it is a shame that he couldn't accomplish higher due to back injuries. But it does not and will never erase the fact that his highlights are so enjoyable to watch.
I still remember that team. Injuries, poor coaching from Mike D' Antoni, and some egocentric issues derailed that "Superteam" of ours in LAL. But glad now Dwight will finally get his redemption because our Lakers are 2 wins away from a Championship
And now hes about to be a champion. We dont realize that if hes the number one option he still can easily put up 15-20ppg to go with 10-15 rebounds. But hes accepted to play the Lakers way and hes been the key guy for the team
The Inbound pass from Turkoglue for a Oop dunk to win the game over tim Duncan !?!? Bruh that man was 🥶 hearted ! Dwight was top Ten all time in his prime for real 🫡
I just wished dwight never wanted out of Orlando, ever since he left he was never the same. *Man i just love how he play and block shots back when he was there* (the rim rocking dunks, unreal blocks, alleyoops, the poster dunks, facials i mean... man!) Hes like a combination of Kenyon Martin & Ben Wallace with those plays i mentioned
I just wish in 2k with the historic teams they would use the right version and f dwight and not the modern dwight for 09 magic Dwight. Dwight was such a beast and was so much bigger then Dwight now and they use the modern versions. same for other players who still play but have historic teams in 2k.
@@bufflarrythegreat1145 you know that is not easy knowing he is not on his prime anymore. Although it is possible if he can train his 3 point shooting or mid range jumper during camp trainings.
Not gonna lie, Dwight was one of those players that we took for granted, get the drama out of the picture and we saw someone that was just pure dominant.
Good old days
Young non injured Drose
Superhuman Dwight
Blake dunking on everybody
Lbj X Dwade
When Kobe is still alive and still playing in nba
The Linsanity
Remarkable Isaih Thomas in celtics
Kobe,Pau,Odom vs Pierce,KG and rondo classic Lakers and Boston rivalry
I miss them..
Today's NBA:
- flopping
- 3pt attempts in every play

- travelling
- more flopping
Okc young trio
Brandon Roy and Greg Oden at the early part of those days too.
Todays nba is A joke
Flopping
U forgot the spurs they won hella rings
Putting Dame in the All Time Top 75 Anniversary squad over Dwight was criminal

The way the bucks are constructed kinda remind me of the old Orlando teams just with a extra stretch 3
and over 700 career double doubles which ppl don't know about,,, one DD behind charles barkley.. its funny that some ppl dont think he's a hofer
And he was second in mvp votes in 2011 in front of Lebron
Conference finals baby
Finals baby
Crazy he can still do 95% of the highlights in this video. Now he’s about to get his first ring🏆
That aged well
@@wyattkeith3906 Ong
Damn…
Naw he ain't throwing it down like that no more but he is still athletic and can get up
good job man
Just like shaq started in orlando but winning a ring with the lakers

Could you imagine if this dude was mean? This guy was an absolute machine.
Each of Dwight Howard’s shoulders have their own zip code.
Just the physic of Dwight would intimidate every players that will come in the zone
good video, but there was a play where he crossed someone over on the hornets one of the best big man crossovers ive ever seen
The one on Vucevic I still remember it 💀
czcams.com/video/3LVH6TZ_zNk/video.html this is it 😭

Nah this was it cuh
@Jacob Smith i do idiot
Slimeyy Sanders damn this one way better then the other vid
If dwight didn’t get injured, he’d be the best center every year.

2020 nba finals now. Dwight is not the best player but he is the best fit for Lakers. A legend.

Yeah and people don't realize how fast John Wall was, or how tall Yao Ming was 😂
@@icemancometh1188 Fr bruh we everyone knows dwight is strong 😂
At 2:35 you can see Rondo’s IQ by knowing that lob was coming
Like BigBaby was gonna be able to do much 😂
si lewis nigga he read that play like a book 😂 if his teammates caught on like he did they’d be cooling but he wasn’t guarding the passer or Dwight, that’s just good basketball IQ
Kids today won't know that this guy became the best center in the nba for once.
CONGRATS DWIGHT!!! ON YOUR FIRST RING 🏆🔥🔥🔥
So much H8 for this young man following in the footsteps of giants like Shaq & Hakeem. Nice to see him finally get a ring after doing work carrying teams on his back all those years.
Facts he's a hall of famer
Best weak side blocker ever I think

Everything they say about giannis these days, they said about Dwight. He was a beast. It's too bad about his later years. Young people nowadays think he's a scrub when he's so far from it.
Yup! At that time we thought he was going to be top 3 or at least top 5 big men all time.
@@Christopher._M he was if injuries didn’t get to him
He's still a beast 💪 playing after all the surgeries on his back and shoulders. Still in the league...at 37yrs old. That's a beast 💪
Jesus I love Dwight he gets hated on but god such an amazing center
i mean no wonder why he cant shoot, his arms are like 50 feet apart. the guy is a walking tank
Trust me he can shoot the 3 ball
He can shoot, he just doesn't want to
It's not even a Ben Simmons "pussy away from it" situation, he just prefers not to do it
Him and AD both have very wide shoulders and AD still knocking down 3’s🤷🏾♂️
@@wnp2856 i agree but Dwight has a lot more muscle lol
@@wnp2856 ad was a 6’1 guard in high school so ad already had the skills but then he grew 9 inches
He got better and bigger every year man. Dude was so dominant in the league. Def a first ballot HOF mer
Thank you for letting these people understand how great this guy really was because he was an animal unstoppable LeBron used to be scared of this dude
Orlando Dwight is the strongest of them all.
Dwight was built like Karl Malone, Kevin Willis, and Anthony Mason all rolled into one player.
His size and athleticism was awesome back in the day
Dwight at 34 rn still the best center than 80% of centers in the NBA
Thanks to him LA advanced to finals. He limited the Joker to 20 7 5
Dwight is one of my favorite players all time but you said just said he limited ionic to 20 7 and 5 like that’s bad numbers
@@fktherim1411 yeah those not his playoffs averages .
He’s one of those guys you’d love to play with as a guard. You can just throw it up to him, and on defense If you get blown by he’s there for the block.
A beast. 3 time straight DPOY and deserving. Not like the DPOY of this year and 2013.
Fax
Nah giannis played rly g on defence this season.. And he is far more versatile than Dwight ever was
@@ashwathnerlekar5607 Not defensively nah as Dwight defensive rating career wise os highest among all active players
Marc Gasol won DPOY in 2013 and didn't even make the 1st team all defense. That was straight bs lol
The what if’s with Howard are crazy. Would the gsw dynasty even started if he was healthy? Would the 3pt revolution even happen?
Probably would still happen unless Curry gets injured most of the time.
@PL Lyons you are severely uninformed
Lol of course the 3pt revolution happens. Dumb comment
There’s actually no what if’s everything you just mentioned would still happen
Dwight Howard was indeed a nature's extraordinary creature in his prime. However, basketball player wise, it is a shame that he couldn't accomplish higher due to back injuries.
But it does not and will never erase the fact that his highlights are so enjoyable to watch.
Dwight, Kobe and Nash should’ve won a chip ;(
I still remember that team. Injuries, poor coaching from Mike D' Antoni, and some egocentric issues derailed that "Superteam" of ours in LAL. But glad now Dwight will finally get his redemption because our Lakers are 2 wins away from a Championship
@Tonez TV Dwight is 34 now. How was he old 10 years ago?
MieL Baltazar that’s when I knew D’Antoni was never gone win shit. He’s not an all-around coach in my opinion
@@kendallmallett9694 true he is a coach that makes his star player an mvp but he's not a winning playoff coach
Man imagine if we waited those 3 days and got phil instead of trash ass d'antoni
Redemption season for Dwight Howard 🔥
Such a good redemption now just need that chip
Hornets Dwight highlights are awesome
So happy he’s most likely gonna get a ring . Dude deserves it @orlando too man . Lol couldn’t have paint a better picture to end his career
People nowadays easily forget how once great a player is. We bash more than appreciate. Smh to all of us.
And now hes about to be a champion. We dont realize that if hes the number one option he still can easily put up 15-20ppg to go with 10-15 rebounds. But hes accepted to play the Lakers way and hes been the key guy for the team
No he wouldn’t. He’s a key guy though for the lakers
@@kimcheemonsta he's not even the scoring option at all for Lakers and sometimes he puts up 15 points easily from offensive rebounding or putbacks.
@@kimcheemonsta did you not see him in Houston? He was like a 5th option and was nearly averaging 20
The Inbound pass from Turkoglue for a Oop dunk to win the game over tim Duncan !?!? Bruh that man was 🥶 hearted ! Dwight was top Ten all time in his prime for real 🫡
I never understood that lay up from the dunk contest
I just wished dwight never wanted out of Orlando, ever since he left he was never the same.
*Man i just love how he play and block shots back when he was there*
(the rim rocking dunks, unreal blocks, alleyoops, the poster dunks, facials i mean... man!)
Hes like a combination of Kenyon Martin & Ben Wallace with those plays i mentioned
Vintage Howard is a beast like AD rn in the paint
Maybe actual howard is the future AD S:
Two different players
Good thing hes trying his best at the lakers
Better than AD. Led his team to the finals without much help.
i don't quite think so, this man's power is unmatched ! AD is a good one too
You forget how good he used to be until you watch his old highlights again
People need to Dwight his respect. Bro stopped us from seeing Kobe Vs bron in the finals
04:46 😂😂 you know that came up in practice this year....
Lol they teamate now
Howard is a literal Center, grabs rebs,getting lobs , defensive and Athletic
4:46 You're welcome! Now they are teammates
Shut up
Asking mcgee how the nuts taste every day
Guaranteed HoF. I remember his peak years, no other center came close to his dominance during his best years.
And now he's bound for his first ring! 💪
#RedemptionYear
Taiwan
watching this after he was criminally snubbed from top 75
Bruh I know Dwight was coming off an injury that first lakers stint but I’m always wanted the Kobe x Dwight combo to work!
0:47 Oh my is that lebron laughing so hard?
This is an okay video buddy put in work in Orlando more clips of that
Oh my gawd! This man's shoulder was above the rim when he blocked Ray Allen's shot!
He GOATed
Joe knows right thats how I got here
yessir
Ur a champion now dwight
damn prime dwight blocking KD JUST LIKE THAT😢
Dude is a beast
Dwight Howard on the post dawg!
Dwight threw that dunk in and everyone was acting crazy
people forget how good he was. top 3 in the league for like 3+ years. carried his team on defense
imagine if lakers would have him now while he was in his prime
I think he was in prime with KOBE in lakers. But not exactly sure what happened at that period. I heard many injuries of players

Pointless
@@sethdanielfernandez1239 dwight howard came back early from back surgery his first timr on the lakers
@@blackgerman5221 ah so it was a bad decision of playing too early.
Still one of my favorite players all time
He deserve this championship

Dwight was such a beast and was so much bigger then Dwight now and they use the modern versions. same for other players who still play but have historic teams in 2k.
Not even the best Dwight highlight reel. But dude was certified MONSTER in his prime. Anyone that doubts that needs to be slapped on sight
Superman Dunk is one of the most unspectacular dunks ever....
When you play with Dwight
Dwight : just throw the ball I'll do the rest
They simply don't make 'em like prime Howard anymore. He was the last of the dominant big man. Ah, the good ol days of the NBA.
Let's go Dwight
2 more
Bro put this Dwight with that same time LBJ 🔥😐
his jump hook always look like a lay up lol
He'll have his first ring soon.
And im here becausr he got the ring.finally
Love the old dwight
Dwight made a career with no real post game and pure hops and probably will still be a hall of famer.... Just think if he had put in the work.
Cant wait to watch him play in Taiwan ☺
Dwight Howard should be a top 75 player and he is a top 75 player to most people and Dwight Howard is a first ballot hall of famer
4:28 did he just SLAP the boards on him? 😆
Nice
Imagine if prime Lebron and Howard played together. Imagine him with AD on the back-court as well, it will be a block party everyday.
If Dwight wasn't injured, there is no way Dwight would not have at least one MVP
If he had the offensive abilities of Lebron, he'd be Wilt Chamberlain
No if he was born 40 years ago with same skill he’d be wilt
Dang I forgot he had a stint wit the hornets 😮
0:06 look at the bench of philly
the cover of this video makes me think of ultraman tiga XD
If only Dwight:
Never had injuries
Can shoot 3
Mentally strong back then
He could make Embiid, Cousins, Vuc look like potatoes 💀
He dont need to shoot no threes. He a beast in the paint already
@@ttkok11 he needs to adapt/adjust in today's NBA= Unstoppable Lvl. 2

A dream
Not gonna lie, Dwight was one of those players that we took for granted, get the drama out of the picture and we saw someone that was just pure dominant.
This just proves that no matter how strong you are, there's no way you'll win against time.
No need to mention it.Everyone knows that.
Man the magic were so close to win a title😣
I hope he wins with lakers
That double arm sleeve dqight howard is dangerous
I dont know why but he looks taller in orlando uniform than he is now in lakers
I miss the NBA where DUNKS ruled.
He is a top 50 players imo
2020 lakers player, then and now. And how they were formed.
