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.

a team with d12 and harden with 0 FTAs at the half
harden 0 damns given on defense
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
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.
Well said boss, well said

I love it personally. Defense is played with your feet, not riding the offensive player with your forearm as he's making a move

Go watch the Pistons-Spurs final again and rethink that statement.

Basically. These are the fans who just take what the talking heads say as value.
These are the Uncle Drew Lovers, The all Blake does is dunk crowd, Paul George in the beginning of the season stans, Dwight Howard is overrated camp. Etc, etc
Casual fans that think they have a deep understanding of basketball.
