Dude has learned how to score with moves other than a dunk. It's amazing how much he's improved over the past few years.
 
And yet they still lost by 26 to the Heat.

Maybe they should quit with us and shoot for the #1 lotto pick...
 
....the Magic have their own "albatross" hanging around there neck....a guy named Rashard Lewis, who I think makes more money than Klinko does! He can't hit the broad side of a barn anymore and plays virtually no defense! Nice box score last night: 0-9 with 3 turnovers!
 
Last few years? he didn't even score 20/game last year if I remember correctly which was down from previous years. In other words, he was the same for a few years in a row.

Since Howard has come into the league, he's gotten better with his post moves. This year, it's noticeably better. He's not an offensive juggernaut as of now, but if his team would actually pass him the ball 5 possessions more per game rather than force a three, Howard would easily average 25 ppg this year. Also, in his six years in the league, he's only gone down in scoring once, so yeah, I would say he's improving.

Archie, in 07/08, he averaged 20.7 ppg. He went down the following year to 20.6 and then down again last year to 18.3. That's two years in a row he went down and for you to say how much he's improved over the years is ludicrous. The guy is a hell of a specimen and can only average around 20 ppg? C'mon. It has little to do with their chucking up threes and more to do with his limited offensive game.

So are you arguing Howard hasn't improved (much) offensively since he has come into the league?
 
Shaq averaged nearly 10 points more than Dwight at this stage of his career. Did Shaq have a better surrounding cast in Orlando? Was Shaq really that much more athletic?

I'm not a big fan of Dwight's offensive game at all. Maybe he's improving... who knows... But all i know is when he meets decent post defenders he falls apart and is shut down. Shaq, up until just the last few years, was the most dominate offensive threat in the league for a good 10-12 years. Could Dwight even be listed in the top 10 right now?

Sorry, I would never call Shaq dominant.
