Like I said what is your definition of "right players"? They beat the supposedly invincible Cleveland Cavaliers in the ECF.
He had the right players, he just didn't show up in the Finals, he was held in check against a good front court, which by the way was always his real kryptonite. Until he can overcome that he won't win a championship regardless of what team he's on. It was easy for him dominate against a weak frontcourt team, he's always been inconsistent against good ones. Even the the Charlotte Bobcats were able to contain him in the playoffs. How many superstars average just 9.8 in a series?!?
This is the core of Howard's career summed up in two sentences.
I bet Jameer came back early just to prepare for the upcoming Lakers game. Hope the Magic players hear this and use it as motivation to upset LA again.
