    What happened to this guy? He used to be an All Star starter, one of the top vote getters in the whole NBA, slam dunk champ, and perennial MVP candidate. This year? EIGHTH in voting among Western Conference front court players and he probably won't even make it as a reserve. Is he any better than Deandre Jordan nowadays? Jordan won't make it either. What happened?

    Bone on bone.

    His knees are in trouble. He can't move laterally like he used to. Not even close.

    Basically a glorified Kendrick Perkins.

    He's a current Rocket, former Laker who beat his kid. How many more reasons do you need?

    D Ho is just a classic example of the NBA's need to anoint a 'superstar' before that player has actually proven anything. Yeah, he's physically imposing, but he has relatively limited skills and his head is fucked up.

    He's never going to make anyone forget Russell, Kareem, Wilt, Walton, Sabonis, and any other center that can actually play basketball. Wes Unseld would have made him cry.

    There are many '2nd-tier' guys I'd rather have, including RoLo.

    He's a bitch.

    And he's always been overrated. Even when the Lakers' were after him, I was annoyed they were trying to trade for him.

    Shaq would have been nowhere near as good had the league and the refs not let him get away with murder. See game 7, 2000 WCF.
