Howard html entered NBA as the No. 1 pick in 204. He was hailed as the second phenomenal insider after O'Neal at the time. His super physical fitness made him unscrupulous in the paint area. On the defensive end, no matter rebounding or blocking, few people can pose a threat to it. The single season blocking king, rebounding king, and the best defensive player double first team are the best proof of their strength.
So, I also played more than 1,200 games, compared with the three major data that can best measure the strength of a center, which is stronger, Warcraft or Sharks?
Howard averaged 18.4 points and a total score of 19,325 points in his career; O'Neal averaged 23.7 points and a total score of 28,596 points; Howard averaged 11.9 rebounds and a total rebound of 14,494; Sharks averaged 10.9 rebounds and a total rebound of 13,099; Howard averaged 1.8 blocks and a total of 2,217 blocks; O'Neal averaged 2.3 blocks and a total of 2,732 blocks in his career.
As for other data, such as assists, O'Neal has 2.5 assists in his career, with a total assist of 3,026; Howard averages 1.4 assists and a total assist of 1,663; and steals, Howard has 1,075 steals and O'Neal has 739.
O'Neal's defensive deterrence is reflected in the team's defensive value; Howard's DPOY is more reflected in the data. If O'Neal was at the peak of his career, he might still be the scoring champion after 2004; Howard was at the peak of his career in the last few years of the 1990s, he could not beat Rodman and Uncle Mu. Howard opened up an era of less than three blocking champions in the season, and O'Neal's peak was in the era of the four centers.
If they are all at the peak, then the monster can only be beaten by sharks. Except for the movement speed of the peak monster is slightly stronger than O'Neal, no other one can surpass O'Neal. Moreover, the monster is not strong in its independent offensive ability and cannot push O'Neal at all at the basket. Refer to Yao Ming to beat the monster, but O'Neal is different. The monster less than 2.10 meters tall can hardly withstand the Lakers' three consecutive championships.
Howard is not a top center in history. The reason is very simple. His skills are rough, his ball quotient is not high, and his temper is not good. It is just that it is prominent in an era when centers are not connected. Look at who are the top centers after Howard, Noah , little Jordan , Cousins .
The tactical system of magic allowed Warcraft to better realize its huge potential and also covered up his shortcomings. The biggest difference between him and James is that he is content with the status quo and does not want to make progress. James only tried to break through hard back then, and faced himself faced him after his failure. And Sparks are still stuck in the technology ten years ago, especially the thoughts are too emotional.
Look at Howard's situation in recent years. This is not the treatment that a star who is so-called single-swap for James, but also compared to Sharks should have. The earliest struggle came from the back injury when he entered the Palace Lakers, and then he went around with multiple teams. The injury seemed to have never been healed, and his competitive state was getting worse and worse. Injuries may be a reason, but in fact, there is no magic system with Tekeglu as the core of the organization. It is not that there is no tactical arrangement for you to play singles, but it is really inefficient.
It can be said that Howard and O'Neal are not at the same level. The only ones that can compare with O'Neal are the real basket monsters in history, such as Jabbar , Olajuwon, etc. Howard is always just a younger brother in front of these people, and even his proud defense is not so prominent in front of these people.
In short, japanese, Chamberlain , Russell , there is no match for each other, but from the 1990s to this day, the only one who can O'Neal explode one-on-one is Dameng , which is just exploded and cannot be prevented. Others such as Robinson , Ewing , Mooning , Howard, Uncle Mu, and later Embiid and others are not enough to peak O'Neal's teeth. The peak Yao Ming can explode with O'Neal in two quarters, but because Yao has physical strength problems, it is basically difficult to maintain in the second half.
