He averaged 10mpg or so in the finals.

I am whatever, I simply don't care about it.

His legacy is ruined and nobody cares that he won a championship. He was a nobody on that team. That's all that matters to me.

I do not agree. Howard is a certain first-ballot Hall of Famer. He simply did to much over such a long-period of time.
8× NBA All-Star
5× All-NBA First Team
All-NBA Second Team
2× All-NBA Third Team
(That's 8 total All0-NBA awards)
3× NBA Defensive Player of the Year
4× NBA All-Defensive First Team
NBA All-Defensive Second Team
NBA All-Rookie First Team
5× NBA rebounding leader
2× NBA blocks leader

And this other stuff:
NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion
Naismith Prep Player of the Year
McDonald's All-American Game Co-MVP
First-team Parade All-American
Mr. Georgia Basketball

He was a nobody on that team. That's all that matters to me.

I don't agree here either.
He played in 69 of 71 possible regular season games and was a 7 / 7 player in those.
He played in 18 playoff games, starting 7, where he was at 5.8/4.6.
These are the numbers of "rotational player". This is more than "scrub" stats.

What I will agree on is that Howard had no consequential stat-line in any of the six Finals games.

Elgin Baylor was 0-8 in NBA Finals series. Then he played 9 games in 1971-72 before deciding to retire from basketball. Well the Lakers won the title that year and Baylor got a ring and was crowned NBA champion.

So this is not new !

He is a piece of..... s....not worthy of mention yet people love to bring him up to stir the pot.

Happy for him.

Still think he is plastic and insincere with the dont quit speech and ****.

He's an anti masker and anti vaccinator douche bag.

Hall of Shame 1st ballot.

I don’t feel any type of way towards him. It’s been a decade, we can’t still be bitter about it. What sucks is that we’ve been pretty irrelevant ever since he left.

Go Dwight!

I'm late to this, but I'm meh about it. I wanted the Lakers to win since I hate the Heat more than any other team in sports, which is funny, since I think their hardcore fans are usually nice people.

The person I hate that won anything is that Kuzma trash can.

I stopped thinking about Dwight years ago.

He won one as a role player.

It really makes no difference to me.

Kuz is overrated and isn't worth the hate nor the time. This is a guy who some claimed to be a third scorer when he's really a 6th Man candidate at best. I think he's going to get humble pie this offseason anyways. He will be getting traded this offseason. To where is the question.

I'm ecstatic for him, he always said he would win a championship in Orlando and technically he did!
