I don't really even care what "Superman" does. The guy is so overrated... I put him in the same category as Melo,Bosch,Jeremy Lin, etc. Dwight Howard is not a franchise player IMO. The guy is bigger and stronger than every1 in the league with the exception of LBJ, but he plays like a pussy in the paint. The guy should literally rape opponents in the paint, but he plays so soft. He also needs to work on his FT's.... ridiculous that the guy shoots Ft's worse than Shaq did. At least Shaq was a BEAST in the paint. LOL GTFO Dwight Howard.

This. Simply put, Dwight Howard has no heart. But don't put him in the same category as Melo; Melo can win games by himself and take over when the pressure is on. Howard can't do that, and doesn't want a high pressure situation.

Melo hasn't won a championship either. At least Howard went to the finals. Melo is a scorer and Dwight is a defensive player. Its hard to compare the two when their games are so opposite of each other. And Jeremy Lin just started playing basketball. He was a good story, I dont know who labeled him as a star - he didnt get a max contract.

I understand the differences. Melo won a championship at Syracuse (I know it's not the pro level, but it's still championship basketball at a high level). Melo also went to NYC where there's enormous pressure to be the MAN there. They will give the Heat trouble (3-1 against them this year) in that series.
