Brittany Mills+FollowDwight Howard Could’ve Been a Top 5 Center Ever If He Stayed in OrlandoDwight Howard’s peak in Orlando was special, 3x DPOY, perennial MVP candidate, and putting up numbers reminiscent of Hakeem Olajuwon. Even without finishing his career there, he’s still: Almost Top 10 all-time in rebounds Top 15 in blocks Nearly Top 75 in field goals made In today’s game, Dwight is even stretching the floor with 3’s—imagine a Giannis-style offensive upgrade on top of his prime defensive dominance. If he had stayed in Orlando, it’s not crazy to think he could’ve posted 30/15/3 seasons and cemented himself as a Top 5 center in NBA history. What do you think—did leaving Orlando cost Dwight his shot at being an all-time great? #NBA #DwightHoward #OrlandoMagic #NBALegends #BasketballHistory #NBAWhatIf #Centers #NBAUnpopularOpinion #NBAHotTakes #NBADiscussion #Sports 501Share
Beth Holland+FollowHow Good Was Prime Gordon Hayward?Back in 2016–17, Gordon Hayward was at the peak of his powers. Averaging 21.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 39.8% from three, he led the Utah Jazz to 51 wins and a trip to the Western Conference Semifinals. That year, he earned his first and only All-Star selection, establishing himself as one of the league’s most well-rounded wings. Hayward’s prime was defined by his smooth scoring, underrated defense, and ability to thrive both on and off the ball. Many believe if it weren’t for his gruesome injury in 2017, his career trajectory could have been even more impressive. Where do you think prime Hayward ranks among the best wings of the 2010s? #GordonHayward #NBAHistory #UtahJazz #NBADebate #NBALegends #BasketballHistory #NBATalk #AllStar #Sports #BostonCeltics43Share
Brandy Rodriguez+FollowDid the Celtics “Break” LeBron in 2010?The 2010 Celtics ended Cleveland’s season, and soon after LeBron took his talents to South Beach. For KG, that was proof the Celtics forced LeBron to rethink everything. Others argue LeBron didn’t “break” — he leveled up. The Heat era became the chapter where he won 2 MVPs, 2 rings, and reshaped the league’s power balance. So here’s the real question: did Boston break LeBron… or did they just spark the transformation that made him greater? #LeBronJames #KevinGarnett #Celtics #Cavs #NBAHistory #NBAWhatIf #BIG3 #BasketballHistory #Sports 31Share
