    Nope , prime DH12 is no where near Shaq Diesel .... Nor is he in the same conversation with Dream , The Admiral The Big E or Moses Malone .... Not even in the same ballpark as Yao - Yao proved that head to head.


    But .... the game has changed in recent years. Big men don't dominate the ball as they once did - probably because most of the skilled one's think they can be KG and don't learn the post game.

    Now we are stuck with a bunch of bigs who have no post moves and shoot 3's ... In this era , DH12 is the best true center in the game.

    But shaq got fouled and he grabs shaqs legs on the way down which could have injured shaq. It warranted a push off, what was that scrub thinking?

    Umm newsflash....Dwight will never be Shaq!! Shaq is possibly the most dominant big man to ever play the game of basketball.

    Parsons will never be drexler.
    Lin will never be Iverson.
    Harden will never be Jordan.

    What now? I dont remember any one saying dwight will be shaq.

    Off topic thread for sure...

    But post the WHOLE video...I remember seeing this play, and I thought Dudley had some balls to retaliate..haha. He was ready to go toe to toe with Shaq (though he woulda lost...but who knows?)

    Will Harden-Howard be the reincarnation of Kobe-Shaq?

    I don't get what posting one gif proves, I can do the same for Howard, does this gif mean he's as good as Shaq? lol

    This is rediculous. I haven't seen anywhere on the boards people saying hes close to prime shaq, and the fact it seems like the OP used a gif as the basis of his reasoning is r****ded.

    When has Dwight Howard ever been considered the most dominant big in modern basketball history?

    I am now convinced that Shack is better than Howard.

    Thanks OP for the gif.
