PG seems like he could be even better than Kobe... IMO.

Whether this is a fair statement or not I'mma say it anyway. Every single person in here knows if this was Kobe with a sprained shoulder even at age 34 season 17 he'd still be playing tomorrow. SMH :-?

No one else has the feeling that he'll just sink any value he has left of possibly being a better player when featured in the post?

Your right but to me its like Dwight at times checks out on this team. With the dumb fouls in front of the referees and how he yells at teammates on the defensive end when in reality its his fault for not having his hands up to knock down the lob passes teams are throwing. Especially the last time we played Denver when he got himself ejected and just seemed distant from his teammates. I really wanted this guy in purp n gold, but last night even that 21pts and 15rebs was in no way dominant. Dwight actually allowed Lamar odom to check him in the post smh. We need to lock this guy in the gym with Kareem this whole summer (LITERATELY LOCK HIM IN THERE). Just a simple left and right hand mini hook could do this guy wonders in the post. He relied to much on his athleticism that he had in Orlando and forgot to work on getting better at the fundamentals of being a top tier big man. At this point I'mma call it like it is. Dwight is the one who is stunting his own legacy and growth as a ball player. This years Kobe and even a 80% Dwight Howard should be enough alone to win 70% of our games smh

Doesn't mean it's a good thing. And everyone shouldn't be compared to Kobe

Based on what we've seen from the numbers he'll have a great game a C next to Hill. Enough to make a trade for Rudy Gay or that type of player possible.

I don't mind if Dwight sits out a night, in order to protect him for a long term nagging injury.
