Warcraft Howard, he is known as the last super center of NBA. As a traditional center, he has a phenomenal physical talent and becomes the league's No. 1 pick after graduating from high school. After entering the NBA, his personal performance has always been excellent and he has become the number one center at a young age. He led the team to the finals and won honors such as rebounding king, , blocking king, DPOY, and at the end of his career, he won the championship and realized his dream. Then, compared with the senior O'Neal , he also played 1,200+ games, how about the five basic data of the two? The gap is bigger than expected.
Score
This is the most suspenseless item, and there is no need to list data. I believe that fans have the answer in their hearts. O'Neal is one of the most offensive and destructive centers, and Howard is one of the best defenders, and the two are completely different in types. In his personal performance on the offensive end, the Sharks beat Howard completely. Throughout his career, Howard averaged 18.4 points per game and scored 19,325 points, which is also a very great performance. However, O'Neal averaged 23.7 points per game, with a total score of 28,596 points, one level higher than the Warcraft.
rebound
As a defensive center, Howard's performance in the frame protection is undoubtedly. He has been crowned the rebounding champion five times in his career. He is a player who is very good at rebounding. This is also the fundamental reason why the Magic team's big and four small system was successful back then. Howard averaged 11.9 rebounds per game in his career, with a total rebound count of 14,494, and his performance was remarkable. The Sharks have never won the honor of rebounding king, but he averaged 10.9 rebounds per game, with a total rebound of 13,099, which is not too big with Howard.
assist
Howard and O'Neal are both traditional centers. They are good inside killers, and they are extremely threatening on both ends of offense and defense, but neither of them are good passers. In comparison, the Sharks have better passes than Howard. O'Neal averaged 2.5 assists per game in his career, with a total assist of 3,026. Howard averaged 1.4 assists per game in his career, with a total assist of 1,663. Obviously, the Sharks are a better passer.
steal
As heavy center, O'Neal and Howard are not good at stealing, and this is not the skill they need to master. Howard is more mobile than O'Neal, and his defensive skills are also above the Sharks, so his steals are better than those of the Sharks. Howard averaged 0.9 steals per game in his career, and O'Neal averaged 0.6 steals per game. Howard's total steals were 1,075, while O'Neal had 739, which was obviously Howard's dominance.
Block
Finally, let’s take a look at the blocking data. Howard is the only player in NBA history to achieve three consecutive DPOY feats. He also won the honor of the blocking king many times at his peak, and his performance in the frame protection is undoubtedly. However, his blocking ability is actually not better than O'Neal. Howard averaged 1.8 blocks per game in his career, with the highest number of blocks in the season being 2.9, and the total number of blocks in his career was 2,217. O'Neal averaged 2.3 blocks per game in his career, with the highest season being 3.5 blocks, and the total career blocks were 2,732. Overall, O'Neal is undoubtedly much more powerful than Warcraft.
