Why Dwight is Overrated by ESPN's Peter Keating

[BillFan 1]

He should and likely will get better at aiming his blocked shots but he is in no way over rated. Bunch of dip****s over there at espn.

I think I remember reading a breakdown somewhere (some blog) about LeBron's shot selection against Orlando compared to other teams. It concluded that he shoots more jumpers against Orlando than other teams. It is probably fair to conclude the major factor in that is Dwight...

i'm sure if dwight was in new york instead of orlando we'd be reading about how dwight is a game changer, i guess you need a public relations degree to be a write for espn.

Changing the game

[Capo d'Orlando 85]

It's great what Russell did but just imagine Dwight playing against old school white guys in short shorts. It's ridiculous to think about. And about Duncan, I thnk Dwight actually makes someone like Lebron think twice while Lebron just goes straight at Tim and the dunk is still in the dunk highlight reels.

 

It's just a poor argument to compare Dwight the way they have because they don't account at all for the time period he's playing in and the effect he has in not just blocking shots, but altering them or causing them to not even occur because of his presence.

A lot of times, STATS doesnt have anything to do with WINNING

I too would like to see Dwight block more of those shots inbounds to start the fast break. But then you'd stil run the risk of giving the other team a chance at an offensive rebound. I think it's just as important that the other team get the message the block out of bounds sends also.

Dwight sucks. Let's trade him for a better center. I'll wait for ESPN's recommendation on who that guy is.

why do we all get upset when ESPN bag the magic or any one who plays for the magic?

 

they have been doing it for years do you really think they are going to change.
