- Imagine you’re a 8x NBA all star, 3 x defensive player of the year and once dominated a game so thoroughly that people started calling you Superman”
Yet instead of being celebrated, everyone in the NBA seems to HATE you.
Especially legends like Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant.
That’s Dwight Howard.
Dwight Howard’s career is one of the most curious cases in the NBA
He’s undeniably one of the greatest centers all time.
And still he’s been so disrespected and overlooked that he’s chosen to finish his career overseas, rather than retire with an NBA organization
What Happened To this guy that caused him to be blacklisted from the NBA?

That Shaq impression was on point tho 😂😂
Offtops I know Shaq was hot🤒
There were also complaints that Howard was doing sexually inappropriate things with teammates. He made some dudes feel uncomfortable, and that undoubtedly played a role in how people around the league feels about him.
True. Like the time he grabbed his teammates meat as he was sitting down. Lol. I think with all the fruity behavior he made the locker room uncomfortable. He was outed by a tranny and later gay rape allegations. Behaviors like this begin to wear on the team morale.
WHAT? CAN U EXPLAIN?
Yeah than those s*&ual abuse allegations last month and his son being present in the home too and his son being messed up… just a whole lot of mess
@@beautifullovechannelthat’s the real reason if you connect the dots behind the scenes.
Kobe did call him a teddy bear
Even though people have been realizing how great Dwight was in his prime as of recent, I still cant help but think even now he's still a very underrated player of all time.
I don't understand why he stopped working on his post game
I'm sure many coaches agree
He's the guy that bang ladyboys yeah ?
I agree. Stop looking into his personal life and look at the basketball player.
Him as a basket player was never an issue. The issue was that basketball is a team sport and Dwight is such a Prima Donna that he had personal issues with every single team he played with.
In his prime, Dwight Howard was a very strong center with tremendous dominance.
I used to really believe that Howard could be Shaq's successor.
yeah there was moment there in 2009 where he seemed unstoppable
He was he just was on the wrong team when he was good
Dwight came in at 18 years old. He got plenty more in the tank.
He never had the offense to be Shaq
@@adamprice3466but Dwight is a better defender
I'm curious on what Howard's career would look like if Curry didn't exist. I really feel that the 3 point revolution and Dwight's inability to defend the longer stretched floor was what undid him.
You forgot his bad back too
I was going to comment the back surgery is what changed his career.
Dwight Howard Magics had many three point shooters. The game plan was ball inside to Howard the he kick out, pass maybe another then an open or contested three.
Howard's magic invented the modern 3 game. Whatchu talking about
I think that narrative of old school and new era or small ball basketball is because of players like Dwight. If there is a chance that you take the lane you should go for the easy basket right? Since Shaq, Dwight and many big mens who can defend and block your shot dominates the game there is no other option but to gamble for the long and low per. Shot which was developed throughout Dwights era and now being used and revolutionized by steph and other snipers.
Dwight being left off the NBA’s top 75 list was wrong, PERIOD.❗️
100%
Antony Davis top 75 was a joke
@@donninitinegoro2242 I totally agree with the video, image hurt Dwight and I said that when the list was posted.
We can’t forget how dominant Dwight was in Orlando.
I don’t like Dwight and I found that ridiculous. There’s not many centers better than him career wise. He was a top defender and super athletic and dominated without a Shaq like post offense because of that same insane athleticism.
@@bandito241 💯💯
I totally agree that D.Howard should’ve been drafted to the Top75 class … Haters! 😒
He definitely should have
Replacing who?
@@StaceyGamesanthony davis.
I think players confuse banned with nobody wants you anymore for whatever reason.
Dwight Howard always struck me as an entertainer who happened to be physically gifted enough to be celebrated for playing sports at the highest level.
Dude was just being himself which inadvertently annoyed pretty much every NBA legend and coach he played with up until his second Lakers run where he knew Lebron was on a mission and he fully embraced his role.
I'm sorry but the initial roasting between Howard and Shaq was so hilarious, yet innocent. Just banter between the two.
Nobody has been signing role player bigs the last few years instead going after bench 3 pt shooters. That should change next year since Jokic just mopped up the league. Dwight wouldve really helped the Lakers against the Nuggets in the playoff series loss.
For Kendrick Perkins to say that you know it’s very bad that Dwight Howard is getting treated badly
Dwight should have never left Orlando. He would have been beloved as an all time great.
Orlando didnt giv him help
Great video 😎
He’s banned because he keeps grabbing other guys. LOL he’s an aggressive zesty. That’s where Jalen green got that from. Dwight.
Right, he likes a little pickle tickle.
Facts
@@mankivigs1 Ayoo, chill out Zesty boy.
@@coolbreeze3793 Nothing zesty about me fool.
Dwight Howard washed up and that's why none of 30 NBA teams signed him
I think Dwight is confusing "banned" for "a headache that no one would want to deal with".
Captain underachiever.
dwight still living on shaq's head rent free to this day.
So 'washed' means 'banned' now.
Facts it's so laughable Dwight Howard not in NBA because he's washed up now he's had a long career but almost 40 years old
30 NBA teams don't owe Dwight Howard anything they don't owe him a roster spot
What’s amazing about Dwight is that though he lost some athleticism after Orlando, he saw the changing of the league where centers were expected to be great shooters, and he still had staying power where guys like Roy Hibbert couldn’t keep up. Dwight was still a double double guy even without great shooting. He won a Chip while playing a vital role for the Lakers. He’s an nba great.
Shaq got carried in Miami and he talked like he's the one who made it happen
Exactly Wade was a superstar in the early days
Shaq was washed after LA
precisely and he had the audacity to mock Dwight rings@@BEEZE825
Shaq O'Neal didn't get carried in Miami proof you don't know basketball if he doesn't get traded there Heat don't win championship
@@BEEZE825
Nah he wasn't washed proof you don't know basketball Shaquille O'Neal still could play with Heat and win championship
Recent allegations just confirmed that Howard had a broken back.
Excellent,informative. He had a great imitation of Shaq.
Well things do happen. I say man just keep playing and making money. Being financially comfortably might not be the all things but it can make life a little easier in the end .
Yeah, to not be in the top 75 is kind of silly, but for awhile we didn't know if or when he was going to go all Antonio Brown on us. Damn the drama. 😂
Now we really know why
From what I’ve seen of him, he never really developed enough as an offensive player. Probably one of the best defensive Centers I’ve ever seen, but I wish he would have developed more on the offensive end
Dwight should be top 75 over Dame.
Ong
The swords man...😂
just underrated this guy ....despite his character !
ITV: People who don't really know what 'respect' is. 'Disrespect' seems to be code for "I demand you think of me the way I wish"
He is out of the NBA because he is a "WOOD" EATER.
Dwight Howard and that '09 Finals run by the Magic is the reason that I became the avid NBA fan that I am now.
AI should be in top 10 of 75. When he was under 29 yo, he made Kobe & Vince look like regular players.
First like and commet love your channel
Thanks I appreciate your support!
Your videos are top notch bro. 🫡
They don’t like the way he play balls😂
Almost every game he would block some ones shot into the stands.
So could Javale McGee
Every generation, there is always a big man that so strong and dominant, I'm too young to watch Shaq and probably don't know sports when I was a young lad, I'm just lucky now that I'm watching Giannis that takes the helm of that super athletic dominant player.
Two grown men having drama over the name Superman 😂
That’s a fact lol
Was taken out of the 75 list .Now it's a question when they would induct him in HOF or .......
nah but the chinese letters in the background of the thumbnail is crazy💀💀
In Taiwan, it is rumored that Howard had beef with his import teammate Mike Efevberha, who is regarded as “Taiwan Kobe” by Taiwanese fans for his play style and toughness. Things just never change😂
4real, I haven't heard about that
He’s banned because of all those gay/ sexual assault accusations. He just got charged with sexual assault on a man recently.
You dedicate your entire career to the NBA and this is how they pay you? We all know Dwight Howard is outspoken, he just happened to piss off the wrong people who blacklisted him, which I think it's wrong. He is a great guy. They did him wrong.
His Shaq impression was dead on
Naw Dwight Howard was cold back in the day.
Lakers could have won another championship with him!
Lakers was not winning championship last season even with washed up Dwight Howard proof you don't know basketball and a casual
Lakers 33-49 losing record missed playoffs with Dwight Howard last stint and he was old and washed and did nothing 2021-2022
Bring him back
None of 30 NBA teams signing washed up Dwight Howard so move on
He did too much weird shit
Well, we had an idea, but ok, he’s worth $140M, why would he care, let him sail off into the dark night
"Hey Shaq me and you, let's roast each other"💀💀
Not Banned... more so washed up. Game passed him by and his skills eroded. So finish his career overseas where his size allows him to dominate one last time
He made his teammates uncomfortable with things he would say and do in locker room. The rumors also didn't help
Can’t wait for Shaq to speak on it…would’ve been great to hear he and chuck real covo after the truth came out. Maybe one day old chuck will spill the beans.
Rip Stan van gundy.
Please put subtitles when shaq speaks
Dwight Howard is a Good Man compared to the bullies and immoral atheletes in the NBA League. He stood his ground against Kevin Garnett,Kobie Bryant and a bunch of other wannabe tough guy superstars in the NBA League. Dwight's moral life and Basketball Skills was not average and showed in how he conducted his life to be not a Thug, even though certain NBA Players like Kobie Bryant complained that he was soft. Dwight Howard marched to his own beat of a different drum. He did not bully people or intimidate ball players or acted in any way to pretend that he was tough. He just played Basketball within the rules and his stats showed he earned the money and accolades he deserved. I watched the NBA and I never heard Mr Howard being a non positive Role Model for young Kids and children. In fact Dwight Howard attracted alot of Young Kids and Young Adults to enjoy the game of Basketball,when he had on His Superman Cape and when he didn't have on His Superman Cape. I am saying certain men in the NBA are ignorant and immoral and these same persons,spoil the game as they act many times as Thugs, an Dwight Howard did not stoop to portray himself as a Thug. Dwight played Basketball and he played it well and as an Ambassador for the Game.
Damn all that to say nothing 😂😂😂
Those who do Good like Dwight Howard are Good for the Game of Basketball. Those who don't do good well they will have to deal with that with God. When Judgement time comes calling.
Well you have just described an individual who is not a team player by calling him a player who marches to his own beat of a different drum.
Dwight Howard only 6’9” 😂😂
i loved Dwight, and outside of his departure from Orlando i have no problem with him and he was a freak of nature.... But his prime was like a fuckin decade ago.
Maybe Dwight Howard will be on the NBA 100th anniversary team along with Derrick Rose.
Dwight shut jokic down as well as anyone has been able to.
I never understood Shaq hating on him celebrating the championship.
I believe Shaq feels he is an undeserving successor to him as the next great big man after himself. I can't disagree.
Jokic played his average against Dwight. People forget that back in the 2019-2020 season Jokic still wasn't the MVP, he still wasn't even in the conversation for the MVP. Dwight played good defense on him, but he didn't shut him down at all. Jokic averaged 22ppg in that series on good efficiency. For the 2019-2020 Jokic those were ok numbers.
How could so many people be so wrong about one player. I could understand if it were one or two people. But this guy was a headache every where he went. Finally won a title in a shortened covid-19 season. Top 75 nba list. PLEASE... STOP IT !
Welp he’s in talks with the Warriors now so we’ll see
I don't see him as bad guy. I met him 3x and he is very approachable to people/fans. I also do don't see any issue with him playing overseas as the guy only wants to play the sport that he love.
Playing with 🥜
Lmfaoooooooo
He had strength but he lacks post game.
Funny Shaq also beefed with Van gundy then left the magic for the lakers 😂
Wrong.
Major 🧢
@@jshowy7053 Shaq had issues with Van gundy on the heat.. didn’t mean had issues with Stan on the magic then left like Dwight did.. just saying in general funny they had problems with the same coach and was drafted and was a star for the magic in the first part of the their careers then left for the lakers among a couple other similarities
Jerry West did a good job convincing Shaq to join the lakers.
@@mandark5789 I mean yeah but no cause he just acknowledged he would pay him more 😂💯 shaq was such a self absorbed diva
Dwight is the TO of the NBA. All the talent in the world but their ego was too big. Terrell Owens could have been the next best after Rice or Moss. You always have to work to even be considered with the best
This didn’t age well
UNDERRATED. Politics. Beef with Kobe sunk him. But the Shaq drama was pure jealousy. Dwight looked up to Shaq.
Kobe wanted guys to go to be battle with. Not clubhouse jokesters.
I miss him in lakers uniform😭😭
Man Dang This Is Really Sad I Really Liked Dwight Too...Wow.
Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose Really deserved better
Nah you get what you earned so try again
@@DavionSpade-ui3ph They were greater than a lot of this mfs praised., That's really unfair, specially cause they were still young and had a lot of pressure on.
He just got signed by the warriors.... so this aged terribly
dwight was disrespected, but doesnt deserved to be. lebron was respected, but doesnt deserved to be. definitely dwight was underrated, the fact he was man enough to face the hecklers and hipocrites.
So, you.re not going to talk about the elephant in the rear of the room
💀💀💀💀
he better go to the big three with ice cube
Females are to be seen not heard especially about sports 💯
Kobe was right he said he was soft...now several years later we r waiting for dwight howard to just come out of the closet...yo lebron how does it feel to be eliminated from the eastern conference finals by a 7ft fairy?
💡
Dwight needs to be on that list. But for whatever reasons he didn't make it. For me it is not fair that the achievements you already done like the player stats, records and accolades simply don't matter to the league. Maybe that's how it goes when you try to be against the management.
Im talking to the Pelicans front office rite na
He would b a good addition 2 their bench
It because of where “he lays his wood”
Dod you just sa "dominating THOROUGHLY"? My guy
He can get a little kinky sometimes.
Dude… with the Trannies… IK
Warriors smart to pick him up
90s basketball: "this dude dresses up in drag and fouls out almost every game, but he's gonna win us another three rings!"
20s basketball: "this guy is a hall of famer and could turn our franchise around, but we'd rather watch him dominate in China.
Rodman is way more aggressive than Dwight. Howard is soft.
Taiwan not China.
Rodman yielded to MJ and Pippen.
Howard was bumping heads with top guards first Kobe, Harden in his prime and then AD in L.A.
You forgot about the legal issues.
Guess he won’t be laying his wood in the NBA anytime soon.
No one black balled Howard. Dude was physically gifted with speed athleticism, defense, etc. But dude, like lebron is one dimensional offensively i.e no mid range game, post moves, jumper, or footwork. He was basically a hyped up dunker. That's why Paul Gasol had such an easy time guarding him in the finals.
no one see's defense are special nowadays 😔
Exactly that’s why Jordan eras will always be the best they played defensively and was tough on offensive as well they played hard not soft now just showing off and shooting the ball weak man weak 😂
Yeah. The defense can't keep up with the offense nowadays. Rudy Gobert who is known for his defense became liability when Luka abused him, same thing with Embiid when Tatum drop 50 on his head.
If he is banned, why did the Golden Warriors just sign him to a one year contract?
They even snuffed him from top 75
Dwight Howard should have been in the top 75.
Instead they put AD???
#GuruBasketballKieroSays since when was Dwight Howard banned from the NBA???
Howard has the mentality of a 12 year old. I realized that when he was making “d” jokes at some reporter. Something you wouldn’t expect a grown man to even notice let alone find hilarious. Kobe was certainly right.
CLICKBAIT. he ain’t banned from the NBA. stop promoting fake news.
So what is he no team wants him
@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390 since when is being a washed up 37 year old basketball player means you’re banned from the NBA? he wants to be a starter, no team wants him to be. that doesn’t make him banned bro. go to school
I feel like its pretty fair to say he could still play as a back up center even if you want to be ageist and say he's too old. In 2022, he played 16 min, shot 63% eFG% and averaged 6.2 pts and 5.9 TRB.
At this point, he's accepted his role as a back player so my POV is that there's more to the story.
@@HenryHoops so why title the video that he was banned when he wasn’t? clickbait? own what you’re doing bro…we’d respect you more
@@HenryHoops
Dwight Howard old and washed get over it and none of 30 teams want him so get over it
You act like if Dwight Howard wants to play until he's 45 years old a team has to sign him or yo false narrative he's banned
You don't know basketball
I do t even have to watch….because he booty watching
It's called humility, which he's sorely lacking
Dwight Howard's ego is so high that he could dunk the basketball sitting down lol
