When you are that superior in strength and athleticism in high school/college, it's easy to be fooled into thinking you will be able to achieve the same level of success in the league. But it doesn't work like that, at least not for very long, if at all."
I think I understand the point you're trying to make, but I hope you aren't actually saying they are comparable players? I think you're just comparing how they are both freak athletes. Like or hate Howard, his resume is close to hall of fame worthy. I know most don't remember that but look up his accolades. The man has accomplished a ton already. Most people just don't like Howard as a person and only remember his last several years. DSJ is a borderline bust as of this moment. I really hope he turns it around, but he's close to falling off the cliff as a player.
With guys like Mitch Richmond all already in HOF and Ben Wallace almost getting in (probably will eventually). Howard’s resume is already HOF imo.
