    Howard is actually not a great player. He's only popular because we're at a point in the NBA where there are so few good 7+ footers, so even average guys are becoming sought after.

    Look at Tyson Chandler on the Knicks. The guy has NO shooting ability. All he does is dunk the ball. He cant even really do layups. Decent free throw shooter though, and he was on a championship team. In the 80s or 90s he would have been a liability.

    • Cracks me up he wants to go to the Nets. Guess he has no desire to win a ring.CygnusZero4
    • he wants to hang out with jay-zdijitaq
    • Yep he's going there to be in NY, hang out with rappers, wear a cool black uniform. All about image, not championships.CygnusZero4
    • championships.CygnusZero4
    • Or he wants to go there anyway. No idea if he actually is.CygnusZero4
    • You know Tyson Chandler had the highest field goal percentage in the NBA last year right?

    • Just jamming. Of course it would be high.CygnusZero4
    • And he was defensive player of the year... On what team would he be a liability?scrameone
    • You obviously don't play basketball or watch it if you think having the highest field goal percentage is easyGlitterati_Duane
    • Most guys in the NBA can dunk easily. It's dunking while being defended that's hard.Glitterati_Duane
    • Find me a lot of big guys on championship team from the 80s and 90s that just got by dunking,CygnusZero4
    • Would have been a liability on the Bulls. Definitely on the Rockets and 90s Knicks.CygnusZero4
    • Definitely on the Pacers of the 90s. Needed the jumper back then. The game is different now.CygnusZero4
    • Yes. It is more athletic, so playing defense is harder. Players are moving faster.scrameone
    • Any coach is gonna tell you to take the highest percentage shot. Dunk's are high percentage. If the dunk's there why take jumpers?Glitterati_Duane
