The question is more of the impact Shaq had and not a comparison of their games. So if Dwight came here could the Rockets 3-peat? That's tough, I think Rocket fans would be happy with just one...
HAHAHAHA...funny thread. When it comes to offense do people realize Howard has never average as much in a season as Shaq did in his rookie year.
Actually their offensive games are quite similar. They are only good close to the basket and their main offensive weapon is the dunk, but Shaq was so much bigger and stronger than Dwight, he was just much better than Dwight playing the same type of game. Neither compare to Olajuwon offensively even if Shaq did score more points.
Hakeem retired after the 2000-2001 season even though the Raptors really wanted him. That is the true story.
