[Mr. Jabbar]

[kennethgriffin]

umm...

dwight howard averaged 15.8ppg this year

james harden averaged 27.4ppg this year


thats a difference of 11.6ppg







kobe bryant averaged 22.5ppg in 1999-00

shaquille oneal averaged 29.7ppg in 1999-00



thats a difference of 7.2ppg



"but howard is the better defender!"


kobe 1999-00 first team all defense
shaq 1999-00 2nd team all defense







if kobe was carried in 2000.... whats dwight in 2015?



nobody gives 2 f*cks if howard wins at this stage in his career. hes barely putting up 1998 6th man kobe scoring averages

harden carried them against the mavs, and in the only win he didn't contribut was in game 6 when he was sick. he led them in game 2 and 5 he had a triple double.

He won game 7 from the front with 31-7-8.The op is on drugs or has a anti harden agenda. harden carried them in reg season and in the playoffs.

They are not a Dwight Howard led team by any stretch of the imagination.

So Dwight + Harden = WCF as a 2nd seed, and Dwight + Kobe + Pau (+ Nash sort of) = Barely making playoffs. Does that mean Harden > Kobe?

Using the basic principles of your basketball arithmetic:

Kobe + Pau > VC + Dwight > Harden + Dwight > Kobe + Pau + Dwight

One can assume that Dwight Howard is actually a negative on teams due to the negative effect of his addition to Kobe + Pau.

A team isn't just 2 or 3 players. The Rockets supporting cast is MUCH better than the cast the 2012-13 Lakers had. That's why LA didn't have success that season. Injuries and chemistry issues played a big part.

*James Harden has lead this team so far.

27/5/8 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> what Dwight has done

And Mike Antoni playing Pau in the high post, favoring Dwight's dumb ass in the low post.

That season was such a frustrating season to watch.

[Optimus Prime]

These Rockets are led by Harden who, ya know, finished 2nd in MVP voting. Dwight didn't even play half the year.

[josh99]

Lol at all the Dwight haters just because he left the Lakers

[ApexPredator]

umm...

dwight howard averaged 15.8ppg this year

Let's not forget:

Kobe did worse with a better version of Dwight. Harden > Kobe

[CelticBaller]

Dwight got these haters salty as ****
