When it's all said and done, Dwight will go down as a hall of famer
not in the league as Shaq and those other great bigs are, but honestly... Who is. Dwight was never supposed to be that.
He's right on track career wise.

Well I think most on this board would share the same sentiments regarding LMA's apathy towards high percentage shots

yeah of course, shaq is a million times bigger and more skilled than dwight could ever hope to be. but to say shaq was a subpar rebounder is just false
although he did take most regular season games off

I don't even understand the Shaq comparison,
Shaq was 7-1 350 pounds. Dwights 6-10, 260?
Got danm near 100 pounds between them.

To have those same averages on the Lakers, along with "a healthy Kobe", Westbrook, Love, Rondo, and a player from "the best draft in a decade"

around 25-10 on 58% shooting vs the best defensive center of the generation
pretty impressive imo, especially since half the games were during his post lakers years

Compared to the rebounding numbers that Shaq posted in the playoffs? Yes, I would say that he underachieved in that regard, especially considering he's holding Dwight to that standard.

I do think for Shaq's size and ability, he could have been a slightly better rebounder.
He was constantly in that 11-12 range. Easily could have been a 13—15 guy.

I love the Shaq played against weak era of centers arguments, like in any era being 7-1 350 pounds wouldn't have resulted in dominance.

Some men are just intimidated by other men. Shaq and Dwight sitch has this feel. You can't constantly bag on someone (true or not) and not come off as jealous. It's easy to see

Dwights averaged 18 points per game on 57% shooting, what do people want from Dwight exactly???
They want him to have the footwork of Hakeem, play as strong as Shaq who outweighed Dwight by at least 80 pounds, shoot like Patrick, and have the defensive ability of Dikembe.
This also hits on how little the average fan values defense. What prime/healthy Dwight was doing defensively was special. Carrying those Orlando squads basically on his own on the defensive end... but since he couldn't give you a spin and baseline hook, he's overrated
People will say "Yeah, he's great defensively, but..." it's an after thought or just a minor thing they add. No, defense is half the game, and when healthy he's awesome at it. But he's never been a bum on the offensive end, he's just not a compete offensive center that you can rely on.Yeah, it's a fault, but get him in the pick and roll, hit him in transition, let him have a few post-ups and he'll get you points and open things up for the rest of your offense. The way people talk about him offensively, you'd think he's Ben Wallace. "But he's so big and strong, he should be averaging 30 a game".. no he shouldn't. That's just something people like to throw out without considering Dwight's abilities.
