Question

Do you think howard has a chance to be better than shq ever was?

Answer 1

Howard will be a beast after 2 years.  

Answer 2

He has the talent... Now he needs the rings... Dwight needs another all-star on the team...

Shaq had Kobe, Horry, and Fisher..

Answer 3

HE ALREADY IS...

Answer 4

-No he lacks the size SHAQ possesed.

-He will be the most dominate Center in this era though, (I stated that in his rookie year).

Answer 5

Dwight Haward has the chance to be the Best Center of all Time.

hopefully he doesnt become lazy like shaq.

Answer 6

dwight howard will probably never play alongside the likes of a kobe bryant.

so no.

Answer 7

h**l yea. He got dat potential.

Answer 8

howard needs to develop some post moves before he can be considered as dominant as shaq, now more real centers have been going into the league like bynum, oden, and the lopez twins to name a few, now howard is going to go up against some real good competition

Answer 9

uhhmmm no.  shaq was a phenom.  howard is mortal.  

there was no answer for shaq  he was bigger and stronger than anyone trying to defend him.  shaq vs the nba was like jim brown vs the nfl.  jim brown was just bigger than the people trying to tackle him so he just imposed his will  on them.  thats how shaq was  in his prime

Answer 10

I like what Froggy said and he was completely right Shaq was not mortal and Dwight is just a human. They guy is good but nothing like Shaq was...he was a freakin train beast it was insane. NO ONE could guard him or nothin Dwight is strong, talented, and has skill but he's not a SHAQ

Answer 11

NO...

Answer 12

nope. nobody could surpass shaq in the way he played inside the paint. dwight can surpass KG and duncan, but not shaq. the big diesel just ate every big men down low. with the huge body he had, he certainly made good use of it and dominated the league for more than 5 years. dwight is good, but not as good as shaq down low. shaq had the post up moves that made him navigate inside the paint. dwight lacks it. howard is just a taller version of KG, minus the post up moves. dwight will certainly become better and might even dominate the league at his prime, but he certainly can't dominate it the way shaq did.

Answer 13

You can say that since Dwight has a better FT%, but you also have to look at how dominant Shaq really was he will post and pick up players by backing up. No one stoped him, yes Shaq didn't have a jumpshot but he was one heck of a post player.

Answer 14

i honestly believe he can...

But it matters on what your perception of "better" is...?

Dwights already a better defender, rebounder, athlete than Shaq ever was.

But Shaq's offensive prowess, was unmatchable, and Dwight mihght acheive that in upcoming years, but he hasn't yet....

the problem is, is that casual bball fans tend to notice offensive players more, because that's where the stats are focused around, and that's where the excitement is. But Dwight is already the BEST rebounder ever. Even vetter than Bill Russell. and he is only getting better. I believe he will end up being top 5 player of all time
