2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

None of the guys Shaq is mentioning ever averaged 28 and 15, Shaq included.

(Shaq did it in 2 diff playoffs though)

That's another point I was going to say. He keeps throwing 28 and 15 as if he's done it, let alone the fact that he was an extremely under achieving rebounder relative to his size

 

[nelson999]

@Nelson999 ask ____ about how Shaq makes him feel pls

 good idea

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

 
we need more people like shaq on tv

put kobe on tnt when he retires and have him talk about how all gordon hayward needs to do is score 10 points a quarter 

Can we go a few days without Kobe somehow being brought up

 

[shoeking2101]

Agreed. Dwight been in the league for over a decade. 3 baby hooks per quarter shouldn't be an unreasonable request.

Maybe...Just maybe...that...isn't who he is as a basketball player ?

Perhaps he isn't the prolific scorer that people want him to be ?

 

[shuges]

Shaq sounds like a bitter broad. Seriously, let it go dude.

I don't know how anyone can say Shaq is "right" in this argument.

The fact that he wouldn't let Chuck or Ernie get a reasonable word in says something about possible insecurities in that man.

he averaged double digit rebounds for the first 12 years of his career. extremely underachieving would be roy hibbert or brook lopez

Shaq keepin it real goin in on howard

Keeping it real? How does he not understand that Dwight isn't a dominant force offensively?

But he should be

Dude is too worried about faux Hawks and tight clothing.

Where in my post did I say that Dwight was a prolific scorer?

 

[captainjackson]

every center now is gonna go for 3 jump hooks and a free throw a quarter

 

[fontaine]

Shaq would have 40-20 on this lineup.

@ yall forgetting how shaq got down.

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Dwight's an underachiever.

Shaq's reaching. But the fact Dwight still has zero offensive game after all these seasons is kinda sad

 

[shoeking2101]

He didn't come close to 15 Rebounds a game man. If he's holding dwight to that standard, then shaq as an all time big man should have at least been close to 15 boards per game.

So, by his standards yes he extremely underachieved as a rebounder

 

[steebie j]

Aldridge giving TJones all the space in the world

 

[shoeking2101]

3 baby hooks per quarter is pretty prolific for a big man, especially one as offensively inept as Dwight

 

[bilboshmangins]

@ yall forgetting how shaq got down.

Please Tell em, Shaq was a baad man!

 

[nelson999]

Guaranteed al jefferson or DMC gets at least 25 and 15 on barbecue chicken.

You're close

Cousins averaged 33.25ppg and 11.5rpg in 4 games vs Portland this year 

 

 

[big j 33]

We really need to collectively ignore Shaq, it's been tired for years now about Dwight. The thing with Shaq and Dwight is.. if Shaq didn't feel disrespected by the whole Superman thing.. he wouldn't pick on Dwight.

That's what makes it so dumb. You know it's because Shaq is petty. That and he keeps trying to compare Dwight to HOF players who don't have similar games.

Dwight shouldn't dominate like Shaq did because they're two different kinds of centers. WHO THE HELL CARES if Shaq would have dominated in today's league? That's awesome, he's one of the most dominant forces the league has ever seen.. of course he'd dominate. What that has to do with Dwight Howard in 2014, I have no idea.

the first two championship seasons with the lakers he averaged 15+ in 6 of the 8 playoff series, a bunch of them he had 17+ per game

 

[sohoguy]

Good defense, flopping all day long

Well damn. There you go

 

[shuges]

Props to DMan and DatZNasty for the accurate predictions on Suckquile O'Neal.

 

[grandtheftbike]

portland is going at harden the wrong way

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Dwights averaged 18 points per game on 57% shooting, what do people want from Dwight exactly???

 

[don ramon]

can't give the man a tech for that. come the **** on!
