Larry Bird : "Dwight Howard wouldnt start in the 80s"
Anyone watch the HBO documentary the other night? It was very fascinating. Larry Bird said that the 80s was the toughest era in sports history, and that Dwight Howard "wouldnt even start in the 80s"

Dwight might be worse than Kevin Willis back in the 80s.

Lol. Thats just stupid. I mean, if he was on the Lakers, or Sixers, or Knicks he wouldn't, but hes better then a guy like Parish. I think he might not be as good as Bogut this year though.

Please clap.

A little bit of hyperbole, if you're quoting him accurately...Howard's lack of skill may have kept him from being a featured offensive player but his d and rebounding would have gotten him a lot of pt.

You've gotta be kidding me. Howard scores more, blocks more shots, grabs more boards, shoots a much higher % on a better team.
And this poster has been saying ridiculous things without links to back them up so I wouldn't believe that Bird said that without a link. And Howard is a MUCH MUCH better player than Kevin Willis.

I don't see where you all are getting the idea that he has no offense. If you would actually watch the Magic then you could tell that he has a nice post game. It's only going to get better too. Quit watching SportCenter.

? Hes not alot better on defense, and Bogut has better post moves. I think they put up similar stats too. Dwight is like 18-13-2.5 Bogut is like 16-10-2.5
Dwight is better, but hes not on another level.

No, Robert Parish had an offensive game. In the 80's it was more talented big and bigger bodies.
