Shaq is so petty
1st ballot hall of famer one of the all time greatest defenders all time
And this man is not a top 75 player in the history. Crazy. Prime Dwight was a joy to watch and a menace on the court. P.S. Shaq is a baby
I pray he see this and get the flowers he deserve. 🙏🏿💪🏿 Keep up the great work guys
Prime Dwight was incredible. It's sad to see guys that relied on athleticism dwindle in production with age and injuries
Dwight Howard UNSTOPPABLE Magic uniform 🔥🔥🔥
Imagine if that magic team played in todays era. A dominant big surrounded by 4 shooters witn green lights anytime to shoot.

Facts 😂 that like the Pacers right now lol
Prime D12 was different! Man I’m glad I witnessed his prime
I think rule changes played a part in Dwight’s slight downfall as well as the injuries. I say this about Blake Griffin too. Those two guys were seen as absolute studs after a few years in the league. A lot of people would have had those two as the guys to take over the league one day. Then the rule changes came in and they had to step aside for guys like Steph and Harden to dominate the league.
Man's shoulders alone are built for the Hall of Fame.
One of the Greatest Defenders and Big Men! 🎉
One of the most disrespected player in the NBA. He was a monster in the paint!
Give this man his flowers three consecutive DPY and it not like Rudy Gobert (no disrespect) but Dwight was a Bucket from ten feet from the hoop sad too see honestly and he was a big part of why the laker beat the nuggets cause Yoo them nuggets was on one but fr give the man his flowers BEST DEFENSE PLAYER D12/39😅
Blasphemy he was left off the top 75 team
What story---- that he is a down to earth, kind, humble, and very very talented ball player 🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
He was also second place in mvp in 2011 behind D Rose
One of my favorite players of all time, behind only Melo. His magic days were dominant! Best center I’ve ever seen play

A Bill Russell type player.
Its crazy how AD was considered over D12 for the top 75 list. AD is talented, thats for sure. But I will consider prime D12 over prime? (idk if he hit his prime) AD any day
Shaq talking about "sensitive big guys" is hilarious. As if he ain't the softest, the most fragile ego-ed big guy the world has ever seen. With his "I'm the only Superman" crying ass. What is he, a 4 year old? looooool
Snubbed from 75.
like if he should have been in the 75 team

@@matthewschelle1829 I would take off Lillard as well because Howard has more accolades and success. By the way, that is a good question to ask whenever someome says that a player is snubbed because too many times someome would say that Player A was snubbed but can't name whom Player A should replace.

My first favorite player
Lebron fans ignoring that Dwight dominated cavs in 2009
Awesome video - thanks!
The only guy to play his way OFF of the 75 list..... How thats possible is beyond me. No he wasnt Kareem, O'neal, or Duncan.....He was Dwight Howard. Deserves a lot more respect in basketball terms than he gets imo.
D12> glass AD
Dwight was just pure power. Them first 4-5 years the guy was a special kinda domination. Skill was there too not just throwing weight around. Could jump out the gym easy. If he had 2-3 more years like that he'd b more respected, but that shit was rare he was doing..
Should be top 75
Glad he got a ring use to play wit him in nba ballers man was goated
Go Magic!!+
His my favorite center to play with in 2K.
His Charles Barkley impressions are the funniest 🤣 in the 🌎
Underrated star dude is way better thwn Anthony Davis to be one of the 75 greatest player of all time

AD is top 75, it’s Dame that shouldn’t be on that list
Apon some thought Dwight Howard's career mirrors Bob McAdoo's. Except that McAdoo was one of the greatest outside shooters ever. Whereas Howard was an inside shooter. They were both about 6'9 and lead the league in statistics. After being blamed for not being A1 talents, both won the NBA title with the Lakers. In key backup roles.
Should have been part of 75th anniv team
He’d probably get a lot more respect if he’d even shot just 65% from the line. Regardless, his impact on the defensive end should garner more admiration. A post move and a few extra free throws would’ve changed his career. Glad he got a chip though.
Was robbed of top 75
The truth behind Dwight Howard that nobody talks about. His favourite player growing up was Wilt Chamberlain and he grew up wanting to be like him so now I know why he struggles to shoot free throws and why he became one of the Greatest Defenders of All Time and accomplished what he accomplished in the NBA. Wilt is the one who made him who he was 💯
Before the nba draft changes the rules in 2006-07
*BEHIND* 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I see what you did there
Jaylen Brown story next video theScore 🙏🙏🙏
Can y’all do one on Messi, the GOAT?
hiward is a victim of nba politics
Bro got robbed of a NBA 75th anniversary players
Lakers realistically should've kept Dwight Howard and alot of the other guys (Alex Caruso, Rajon Rondo and Kyle Kuzma especially) from the 2020 Bubble Championship team instead of relying on an injury prone AD and an aging LeBron. You need more pieces and Russell Westbrook is just getting in the rhythm for the Lakers but he's a bench player now but Lakers suck and will be super lucky if they make the play in tournament...

What a joke. No disrespect to Dame but he hasn't done anything that I'll consider him top 75 over Dwight. That's just me 🤷♂️. Dwight got disrespected since they're mixing politics with sports 🤦♂️
get rid of Lillard who won nothing, literally no individual or team goals. how the hell did "dame time" become a top 75 is beyond 🗑️🗑️
