    Disagree. He has played injured and obviously has hurt his game. He isnt Orlando Dwight anymore but lol at how quick people forget what he did in the Portland series. Played 100x better than Harden

    Despite having the IQ of a watermelon, Rose is right on this one.

    The rockets have one superstar, and one borderline All Star.

    Why not wait to evaluate him after he recovers?

    It's probably true.

    And? We're trying to win games not make trading cards.

    If Dwight never fully recovers, then he's right.

    Jalen just calls it like it is.. (based on current performance) we all know dwight is hindered by injury.. let's just hope we see the day he can eat his words.

    He's kind of right but remember last year?. Mediocre season then turned it up in playoffs.

    I hate to agree with Jalen, but unless Dwight has a miraculous recovery for his knees, I agree with him.

    Dwight was a superstar when he wasn't demanding the ball in the post. Now that he wants touches he isn't a superstar. What if he goes back to just rebounding and defending, will he be a superstar again?

    I'm really getting tired of these NBA pundits pointing to Durant saying a couple of words to Dwight, his opponent, as an indictment that all his NBA peers hate him and don't respect him. Now Lebron and Bosh didn't want to go to Houston because of Dwight? OK.

    I remember initially being really excited about the Grantland BBall hour...

    Sad but true.

    Dwight has become a starlet.

    Love J-Money. Quite the entertainer- always giving the people what they want.

    To be fair, Dwight has been a superstar since the middle of his Orlando tenure.
