Dwight Howard Imitates Kobe Bryant (VIDEO)

Dwight delivers another classic impression.

Only a few days after being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, it seems Dwight Howard is already back in natural form. During his introductory press conference, Howard delivered another memorable imitation, this time of teammate Kobe Bryant.

    Shortened season more contact less teams, how bout’ we just compare what they did to their contemporaries. I’m not sure Dwight would be able to handle the dirty play from back then. Simplify if you want. One could contend that with workout programs and nutritional information the athletes from yester year would dominate this era as well, you see thats why we compare them to their contemporaries. Oh and as I said before Dwight is a mediocre one-on-one post defender at best, remember when Pau bust his @$$ in the finals? You think Pau was putting those numbers up against Olajuwan? Russell? or even 1964 Nate Thurmond? f()k outta here

    Idiots. Shaq > DH. No question. DH would have been on the bench in the 90′s. He dominates (sorta) now but it is against Lopez caliber players, Kaman etc. Prime Shaq was 147 kilos (325Lbs). Dude, that is huge. No one I have ever seen could stop him. Shaq was sick on dfence. Fully sick. He played in the time of illegal D so unlike DH he didn’t just float around the key. He worked hard… and dominated. I rank him as the best 5 ever!
    1. AI
    2. MJ
    3. LBJ
    4. Barkley
    5. Shaq
    I know AI wasn’t a 1, but he could play it.
    That team destroys anybody!

    I’d bet that team could not “destroy” these guys..lol.
    Magic
    Kobe
    Bird
    Duncan
    Kareem

    Uum……..I’m sure I’m late to this discussion (again) but to be fair in ’04, Kobe did have a major stake in LAL losing that Finals. But at the same time, nobody else on the Lakers sans Shaq could shoot well at all. Fisher was shooting 30% and he was the 2nd most effective guy from the perimeter. The team needed Kobe to be his usual self to win along with Shaq. The problem was his 3pt shooting was abysmal ( he wasn’t too bad minus those 3s he literally chucked at times ). Infact, the only perimeter players who were effective were Billups ( guarded by Fisher and Payton who did force Shaq to step up on D and close up which he didn’t ) and Rip ( who again used tons of screens and LAL just couldn’t keep up ). I get the fact that Kobe screwed up in ’04 but I just wish guys would keep it in perspective. Also, re: Shaq > Pippen comment, YES. DEFINITELY. But I dare anyone to say with a straight face that LAL 00-02 > Bulls during either of those 3peat runs. LAL 00-02 was mostly Kobe-Shaq. Bulls had a much better supporting cast than LAL during those years. ( LAL hasn’t had a good bench in ages…… )

    BTW agreed with AllenP that Kobe is hard to evaluate. I think it was Tex who said Kobe always knew what the right play was and didn’t mind doing it UNTIL the game was on the line. It was then that he broke the plays and decided to try out new stuff which weren’t the most sound options for the team but one that Kobe believed only he could do. He failed many times. But he did accomplish doing it quite a few times at the same time too. Personally, I always believed Kobe to be the most skilled and , despite the way he plays, the most intelligent player in the L for a long time. ( Infact, purely on the basis of intellect, I’d say he’d be the best candidate to become a coach ) But never the best all round player. He isn’t IMO a chucker but to each his own.

  • Drig

    @flea……….Kareem vs Shaq would be a one way street. Each one of them would burn the other guy on O lol. Personally, Magic, Kobe, LBJ/Bird, Duncan/KG and Hakeem would destroy any team. Magic, Kobe and Hakeem…………I’d give up anything to be able to witness that just once….

    Can we get back to the leading subject of this article, DH?
    And his comparison to Shaq, which is favourable to some.
    My case, in short is that there’s not much difference in defensive presence/effectiveness between the two. Shaqs actually better statistical. Dwight is a little bit more active because of the need to help his non dfense playing teammates and alos because of the undersize/underskill of his present day opponents. Shaq played with the heavyweights in skill and size and also produced much better offensively.
    So a complete comparison to me is overwhelmingly in Shaqs favor, while their defensive impact is comparable.
    Any thoughts?

  • eZ

    Oh and league impact is really not equal. I don’t look at accolades alone but the way teams fear you, adjust to you, coaches coach against you, respect you get, press you get. DH is merely a good player while Shaq was great

    Scalabrine is the GOAT. Jordan pays Scalabrine to let him pick up his groceries.

  • http://slamonline.com nbk

    Shaq is not better statistically on the defensive end. Unless you only look at blocks. If you even kind of understand how to read an advanced defensive number, Dwight is clearly, not even close, the better defender.

    I am a Lakers fan and a Kobe fan. I know that Kobe was worse than Shaq that series in 04. I know that Lebron is probably better. I know Shaq was the best on those dynasty teams. I know Kobe had amazing teammates. Some of the Laker fans here need to get realistic here (seed,GP23).

  • Decatur Don

    At the end of the day Kobe is a first ballot HOF ya’ll can debate all you want but you have no power to stop his accomplishments…..all you doing is wasting Keystrokes.

  • http://slamonline.com Allenp

    And you wasted yours to tell us to stop wasting ours.
    Kudos sir.
