You don't know what your talking about old man

Rob, he's only 6"11", which is no where near "taller than anyone else in the league". Not even close. He's not the biggest either. He's big, but there are a few men bigger.
And you don't explain how just being tall has won him two consecutive rebound, blocks and defensive player titles. I get it, you only care about offense. It's all that matters to you. Fine, but completely dismissing Dwight's talent and ability only makes you look bad, not him.

Howard leads the league in rebounds and blocked shots, 2 years in a row, is defensive player of the year and averages 20 pts per game. He needs to work on his offensive game but your comments would lead someone to believe that he's not even a productive player...so, "TALL, THATS ALL" is simply an exaggeration. He's lead his team to the finals and ECF last 2 years at 24. That is all good and he will keep getting better. How about crediting someone for defense vs. just being critical.
Mark Jackson predicted if the Magic continued to post Howard up : the Celtic would beat the Magic for the Eastern Conferance title. I'm not minimizing Dwight Howards talent. He is the greatest rebounding and shot blocking center in todays game. But, he has been in the league almost 5 years and really has not improved on the offensive end. He's the same player he was last year. His free throws; shooting the ball; he needs a lot of help. "Tall thats All" is One Old Man's Opinion.
