so all dwight has to do is stop laughing when we're losing and holler like an animal to pump people up to be labelled a franchise player. paul isn't a franchise player, deron williams is because he has performed in the playoffs. turkoglu may be a fnrahcise player if he was doing this like 2-3 years after he joined the league. but look at wade and kobe, they can't win a ring w/otu shaq, and shaq can't shoot FT's in the 4th, and we go to dwight as much as people went to shaq in the 4th. ridiculous...

This lady is just a tool and goes by what she hears others say, and then she is stuck with no logical point to back her loud mouth. Dwight Howard is a Franchise player, due to him and him alone we are getting a new arena, due to him we are now going to be a destination for years to come for all free agents and disgruntled players... "Franchise player" Jason Kidd said it himself.

She stated he has to be more then the face of a team but a town, and Dwight has the charisma to be that. As said before, plain and simple. "Was Shaq a franchise player?" Yes, end of story, period, no ifs and or buts, Dwight if the second coming of Shaq and no one in the league would argue that point. BTW: Maybe that fourth quarter the other night could change the way Dwight looks at games..

Also, I cannot stand Hill... Brian,Grant or Jamele

Back to the original argument from reporter Hill, I agree that Howard could use more of a killer instinct. Centers should have a bit of "enforcer" in their style of play.

For one, Howard should average 3 blocks per game if he where more aggressive on defense (but this would clip into his rebounding numbers). Also, when Howard sets picks, the opponent guard should find his tush on the hardwood.

Finally, Howard needs a go to move to be able to dominant in the last 20 seconds of a game. He does not have this move yet.

Shaq taking over 4th quarters?

Those are often left to Star Gaurds....

Why do you think in the 4th quarter when Shaq was with the Lakers it was always give it to Kobe. Or even in Miami, it was Wade's World in that quarter.

Dwight Howard not being a Franchise player dosen't make no sense. It's like saying Chris Paul isn't a Franchise player.

Dwight Howard is still learning and developing. He's a terrific player. He's a max player, meaning his skill set is worth paying max money for. But in the 4th quarter, who do they go to? Turkgolu. Is he the leader of that team? No. Have you seen him will his team to many games? Not really.

Dwight still has some maturing to do as a person. He's very good-natured, kind of silly. Once he develops a killer instinct, I'll call him a franchise player.

In just about all of the Magic's significant, fourth-quarter wins, Hedo Turkgolu has been the go-to guy. Not Dwight Howard. In part because he's not a great free-throw shooter.

I agree
