Like seriously!!!
Question is, "are there such things as a 'superstar' call on the defensive end of things?"
Hmmmm..... Let's think about that for a second, Kobe, Lebron, Durant, Wade, Melo, etc, etc, all of those guys, well specifically those guys, get that 'superstar' call on the offensive side of things. I mean between all those above mentioned guys, they might have a combined 25225225 FT attempts for the season. Now on the other side of the court, Howard leads the L in blocks, boards and is probably the last guy anyone in the NBA wants to see on the weak side, strong side or 3 ft away from the hoop on a drive.
Especially all those guys mentioned above.
Yet, he gets tagged 'Foul on You' by his team mates, cause he gets no love from the ref's. Obviously the guy is gonna fool peeps, cause he's a defensive player but if you are leading the league in boards, blocks and all that other good stuff (not to mention a possible mvp candidate), I think, just a hunch, you kinda know what your doing on that end of the court. Like COME ON!!
Hakeem the Dream, my favorite center of all time at one point in the league was the premier defender inside the paint, leading the league in blocks and boards. Yet, I remember very clearly, he barley fouled outta games. Back then you were facing, Charles, Pippen, MJ, Ewing, Malone....I can keep on going, but my point is simple. The NBA has kinda made things a bit ummm, what's that other word for kitty???
This is the playoffs, this is where all that friendly ish ends, and this is where the boys get separated from the men. People wanna see Dwight wire to wire and the NBA needs to showcase this guy and get people (especially the younger cats) excited about DEFENCE!!
'Foul on You' should be renamed to 'Your Really Lucky I Didn't Take YOUR F'N Head Off'.......oh yah and you gotta add the proverbial 'son' in there somewhere. Dwight, the brokeankles fam salutes you and your crazy ass shoulders and crazy ass blocks.
You crasssssy guy!
