I present you with facts and again you counter with ill-informed opinion.
Firstly, yes rebounds are offense (offensive rebounds) and it's ironic that you missed that point when you contend that most of his points come from "put backs" which, of course, are OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS.
To that point, the notion that Howard scores exclusively off of dunks and follow ups is foolish on it's face. Though limited it may be, the guy does have a post game. The fact that you deny it convinces me you are the one who hasn't actually watched the guy play.
Lastly you claim that you can't "go to him for a bucket" and that he's a "liability on the floor in the 4th quarter" yet most of his recent teams have managed to be pretty successful with him leading the way. Are you aware that his Orlando teams had 4 straight 50+ win seasons before the lockout shortened year of 2012 (his last in Orlando)?
Surely you don't deny that he was the focal point of those teams?
You are entitled to you opinion, just know that the facts paint a different picture.
