Dwight Howard Has Most All-NBA Selections Of Any Player Left Off 75th Anniversary Team

[RealGM Wiretap]

Dwight Howard was one of the more notable omissions from the NBA's 75th Anniversary Team. Howard has eight All-NBA selections, which is more than any other player left off the list.

Howard has as many All-NBA selections as Dave DeBusschere, Kevin McHale, Earl Monroe, Dennis Rodman, Nate Thurmond, Wes Unseld, Lenny Wilkens, and James Worthy combined.

The first half of Howard's career was one of the best for a big man in NBA history, with five straight All-NBA selections and three straight Defensive Player of the Year awards. Howard also finished second in MVP voting in 2011.

They only added 25 players to the existing 50 players. They should have just did an entire new list… but Dwight should be on the current list over AD and Dame.

Exactly, even worse is thatt the voters list is largely made up of people who on the top 50 list. If it was a real vote, a few of top 50 guys should have fallen off altogether, especially since Dominique should have made the original list.

He was one of, if not the most, dominant big men for a decade. That disrespectful.

I love Dame, but I was surprised by some of the guys he made it over.

This is why the list is a joke. I can’t even think of a valid argument for Dwight not to be on there.
