Like this if Dwight Howard deserves to be on the NBA 75 list
No Question, canât say heâs an underachiever due to the fact that more than a few on the list havenât accomplished what he has already achieved...regardless if he canât shoot 3s lol
Hes not even best 25 center ever...so ofc he aint in top 75..maybe top 150
He was good only 3 years..and never won anything...and he was just regular guy last 10 years..
@@anubis4855 mad disrespectful, the guy alongside Harden went to the Western Conf Finals in 2014-15, his 10th yr in the league...Heâs injury prone, main knock in my opinion...U canât blame him for being caught in the middle of a transition where top tier Centers are expected to stretch the floor..didnât win anything, Do u know how many guys on that list won nothing when leading there own teams...Melo? Paul? AI?...Melo never even reached the Finals as the guy, Dwight was the go-to guy on a NBA Finals team.
Not even close itâs a joke heâs not
@@SedriqueDJuan not only that he also took a team to the finals going thru LeBron the Celtics and heâs a 3 time dpoy
Dwight seems like he found peace with life and i love it
Love your comment man. I wish his ego didnât over shadow his game because he def had A.I mentality of being the best player on the team and couldnât settle for anthing else. Iâm glad heâs humbled himself and at the end of the day heâs a NBA champ and no one can ever deny him that
@@Infamous6091 Iâm happy someone else realizes bro was a beast
@@timhughes3684 of course man game recognize game. He was the closet thing to Shaq for my era đŻđŻđŻ
Yo B/R we need more Taylor Rooks interviews she keeps the conversation going and interesting
Heâs all about staying positive and Iâm wishing the whole world would share that way.
Totally agree
thats dumb because he can still play and be efficient and now he is ok with playing 5 minutes
I canât be the only person that think Dwight and Shaq should do a podcast together , it would be hilarious đ đŻ
@@Trust-Yourself-1st ikr
Shaq hates Dwight. If he wasn't such a bully that'd be cool
nah shaq would punk dwight too hard and often lol. As a 21 year old who started watching nba while Dwight was DOMINATING i've always respected him but shaq is shaq
@@WhelmedButReady Why Shaq hates Dwight?
Without question top 75 deserving and easily first ballot hall of fame.
on average you need to be top 15 at your position. there is NO way there are 15 better centersđđ
The fact that he was the best center in the league at a point in time should guarantee HOF. Top 75 is debatable tho because guys like kyrie didnât make it either
Hes not even top 10 center in todays league...he isnt even top100 all time
@@AB_7092 and guys like ad and lillard made it. so... dwight is top 75 no questions asked.
@@anubis4855 thatâs cuz heâs out of his prime. Just cuz he had a short prime doesnât take away what he did
This is the difference between a podcast interview and an actual journalist interviewing someone. She is asking questions and letting them talk . Unlike Podcaster who talk over the interviewer.. great job Taylor
that's because the podcaster is basically the star its about using the guests to get bigger as opposed to taylor who is doing a job so its her job to listen.
@@Dushawn21 i think the Podcaster ego is inflated and does not have media training
I.E. vlad đ€Ł
I totally agree with that statement
@@Dushawn21 to me Joe Rogan is the worst
Dwight's easily a top-75 player and any angle shows it, he has it all
1) Personal stats:
- 18 seasons, 1200 games in
- averaged 16+12+1+1+2, 59% through career
- averaged 21+14+2+1+3, 59% through 5-year peak
- averaged 22+14+1+1+3, 59% in playoffs from 2008 to 2014
2) Personal accolades:
- All-Star x8
- All-NBA x8
- All-Defensive x5
- DPOY x3
- NBA Rebounds Leader x5
- NBA Blocks Leader x2
- Five time in Top-7 of MVP voting (#5 2008, #4 2009, #4 2010, #2 2011, #7 2012) and as many people think the real MVP-2011
- #11 all-time in Rebounds
- #13 all-time in Blocks
- Ranks top-10 all-time among centers in Points, Rebounds, Steals, Blocks, FG%, Win Shares, PER
3) Team accolades:
- NBA Champion as a great role player
- NBA Finalist as the first star
- NBA Conference Finalist as a star player x2
I mean he could've even been a top-50 choice for many people
Dang đ€Šđœââïž
Also, knocked off Lebron and a 66 win Cavaliers teamin 2009 when everybody had Lebron and Kobe in the finals and Nike had those #23 and #24 puppets.
Facts
This is crazy I highly doubt Anthony Davisâ resume or D.Lillardâs resume is even close to this
Dwight make a lot of sense.I never heard him in a long interview. Much respect to him.
I just always like Dwight.
He's such a great human being.
He's learnt a lot in life and those experiences have matured him and made him more humble.
Crazy how dwight was drafted at 18 and he was in the finals in 5 years .This man was dominate AF
WhatâŠ.. It took him 5 years to get to the finalsâŠ.Magic Johnson went to the finals his rookie year jumped tip in Gm 6 scored 42 without Kareem and won. Dwight Howard was more of a defensive player with a horrible FT%. Never was dominant ever
@@mauricescribner7025 Rookie Magic Johnson played with prime KareemâŠ.
But of course you left that out đ
@@mauricescribner7025 NEVER WAS DOMINANT EVER? you MUST be 16 yo lebron fan... ur tlking nonsense
@@mauricescribner7025
You are narrow minded.
To compare Magic and Dwight's rookie year and not thought the background of their team is really something.
You cant talk basketball.
Please..
I never knew how interesting Dwight is. First 7mins gave me so much at once. Made me respect him even more than I did as player he is.
Hilarious. Love to see the growth of Taylor as an interviewer. She let Dwight be Dwight and the convo flowed naturally, but she still got her questions in.
Cheers for keeping Taylor in frame even when Dwight talks. Doing gods work! great interview
Can we get a tour of Dwight's farm and garden Bleacher Report? He's an interesting guy to say the least. When you get to listen to him you ask where did all the hate come from for this dude?
The media like always if they don't "like" you...
This was amazing. Dwight is such a gem. Media really played him dirty
Watched every minute!I love Dwight so much. I always watch his interviews cause I get to understand him better than what the media portrays. He is so zen and good vibes. Taylor is a great interviewer too. They had good on screen chemistry which made this fun to watch.đ„
She always ask great questions, love watching your interviews Taylor Rooks!!đđ
Luv Dwight. Such a great dude, so honest, humble, super charismatic
That was a very good interview. Taylor Rooks was amazing. Taylor and Dwight both seem like very cool, real, and down-to-earth people. I had a lot of fun watching this.
this is an amazing interview seriously. i didnât expect it to get so personal and meaningful, good job to taylor!
Love Dwight. Really good to know him better. Great interview Taylor, awesome job.
I resonate with Dwight on so many levels..... Cool Guy
You cannot tell the NBA Center Story without his name...Dwight's defensive peak was the highest ever besides Olajuwon Faxx
Dwight Howard has high EQ, his talk is so inspirational
Too bad he hasn't always exhibited that high EQ on and off the court...đđđđ
This is facts
EQ is not real. Scientifically, it's a fraudulent concept, a fad, a convenient bandwagon, a corporate marketing scheme.
If there was more dwight howards in the world we would all be in a better place, god bless you dwight i never knew your soul shined so bright...shame on you for not setting the narrative straight!!! haha but then again thats the no ego coming to play...damn you really did you and always were content...taylor as always you do an amazing job as an interviewer, big kudos to you girl! wow dwight you really impressed me and inspired me after this!
Yo I truly salute both Taylor and Dwight on their progress. Miss Taylor its a beautiful thing to see where you are and I pray for your continue success. You really deserve and earned it Empress Rooks.
If you think Dwight Howard isnât one of the most dominant centers in NBA history, you spend more time on Twitter looking at memes
Dwight was a monster, I loved his game and wanted to play just like him
Dudes genetics is insane. He is still big asf, just like when he came into league.
@@lavonnealexander6936 NAw frfrfr
Great perspective on the Simmons situation. Well said Dwightđ
Always had mad respect for this man !
Back to back fire episodes đ„
Dwight is such a delight. Thanks for sharing this!
This was a good show. Almost makes me wish it was 2 hours.
This is a great interview bro
this was a great watch keep it up sis
"Who cares about a list made by people who ain't ever bounced a basketball before?"
STRAIGHT FACTS!
Much much respect to a guy who's also had such a spiritual awakening, overriding his ego and opening up his eyes, seeing the nuances of the world. He's being the change he wants to see, which is way more bright and positive than most others. Anti-narcissism is what the world needs now more than ever.
That shaq impression đđđ
so good đ
where 2 minutes in and this is the best Dwight Howard Interview Ive ever seen
Taylor Rooks might be the best interviewer Iâve ever seen
His Ben Simmons point was so well articulated and said
Great convo
Great job by the lovely Taylor Rooks- this has been such a fantastic interview.
55:28 BRUH LMFAOOOOOOO DWIGHT A REAL ONE BRO
Master Class on the Art of Flirtation
Can't stop watching...
Could we get this on podcast plateform pleaseđ€·đżââïž
Great content as always
Dwight always bn one of my top 2 favorite players and he was doing his thang for a while in tha league and STILL playing!
Dwight, T-Mac and Vince Carter all were major snubs
Tmac and Vince wasnât that big of a snub. Sidney moncrief and joe dumars were bigger snubs.
What a great soul. We love you Dwight đđ
Taylor Rooks knocked this interview out of the park đŻ
Nice to hear Howard talk. Smart guy.
Wow, this guy is a Superman. Great great perspective and inspiring.
Great interview Dwight!
Great interview Taylor.
Kwame Brown and Dwight Howard conversation would be amazing đŻđȘđŸâđŸđ„
Itâll happen for sure once Dwight retires. The NBA and itâs affiliates hate Kwame for speaking out right now so that wouldnât do Dwight any favors from a contract standpoint
Dwight is a real gentleman ! Very smart and positive
as a lakers fan i hated it when he left the lakers to join Houston. but he became one of favorite players ever being a role player and one of the realest people in the nba
He is more calming than I thought.
TAYLOR is a great interviewer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I highly recommend Checkers fries! I donât live near a Checkers or Rallyâs but you can find the fries in the freezer section at the grocery. Theyâre really good!
right on!
There seasoned fries. Nothing special about them
dwight a real good human being
Dwight Howard's impression of Stan Van Gundy is hilarious that would of been a great one to ask him to do.
Dwight is killing this first date
Lmaooo đ
HmmmmđČđ€
This Was GreatâŠDwight Is Really A Good Brotha
Dwight is definitely in the top 75 đŻ..:they wild for that snub
Dwights prolly da heart and soul of the team on and off the court we really missed his energy last year.
Taylor is on it. Doing a great job. I support.
Yoooo this was a good one đ s\o Dwight man
Solid job Taylor on the interview, from Kenya đ°đȘ. Awesome how you switch up your questions to your guests depending on what they say, so the interview doesn't sound pre-canned etc.
Dwight, that NBA community dough you're talking about, bring it to the motherland dawg ;). The rest of the world doesn't understand as well as the Chinese do that Africa is legit on the come up, so not only can the money go a *much* longer way, you also *easily* get 10x your investment in less than a decade.
I have learned alot from you Dwight. Lots of positive energy oozing out from you
I love you Taylor Rooks... big up Jamaica!!
Dwight has become so mature⊠I love him!!!!
Iâm only here for Taylor Rooks and TAYLOR ROOKS ONLY đ€
"Spread Love" @ 32:25 was a song by Take 6. I'm assuming Dwight might have remembered the song subconsciously.
Taylor Rooks is a good listener
Taylor Rooks ... đđ„
Men how honest and positive. Very very very attractive and respectful
Great in depth interview and Taylor is beautiful
his take on ben was just too perfect
Always i like this player no matter what he makes many things and he will be hall of famer one day for sure :)
Dwight is in a great space!!!
Spread Love ... by The group Take 6 đŻđ€!
I will support every Atlanta sports team for Taylorâs love if thatâs what it takes
I totally Believe Dwight could put up 20-13 if he got 35 minutes a game. He lost some athletic ability but still is elite.
I agree
Checkers fries are bangin! Definitely top on my list. I'll pull up and order just the fries!
Dope interview!! Top fries 1. Five Guys . 2 Chick Fila 3. Mc Donaldâs
Taylor's amazing đ€
Peace and love
I love the energy
âEverything is created!â âđœ
That Shaq impersonation đđđ
@ 28:50 ... Stephen A "Bald Head" Smith đđ
Used to be my fav player after AI. This guy told me I resemble Dwight Howard in HS. I didnât know who he was fr. Then I looked him up. Then he did the dunk contest. Ppl must have forgot he was the last player to LBJ out the players before last year. đŻ
Howard know what he's talking about with them checkers / rallys fries lol
That impression of Shaq was so good!
54:36 the main reason I like Dwight. Genuine guy.
Wright's Shaq impression is on point đđ
he has a point in regards to Sixers issues
BARS!!! BARS!! BIG BARS! DWIGHT SPEAKING BIG FACTS!
really he is top 50...the snub is wild. and I am not his biggest fan with the extra curriculars
Yeah he got snubbed IMO. I wouldn't say Top 50 for me but Top 75 for sure.
