Kareem Abdul-Jabbar talks Dwight Howard
关于Jabbar谈论Dwight Howard
As a baseline: Let us all agree Kareem is right. Dwight Howard has
flaws that are fairly easy to spot. That's the simple part.
首先：我们都赞同Kareem。Dwight Howard有着明显的缺点。这不难发现。
The much more interesting part, however, is that Howard is among the
NBA's most effective players despite these flaws. Riddle me that!
但更有趣的是，尽管Howard有那些缺陷，他还是NBA中最有效率的球员之一。这
搞得我好乱啊！
As Abdul-Jabbar’s, or any other critics’, arguments become more
convincing, the mystery of Howard’s wonderful results on the court
becomes more exciting:
当Abdul-Jabbar或其他人的论点越来越有说服力，Howard在球场的精彩表现之谜
便越有看点：
‧Since 2005, Howard's teams have consistently outplayed the opposition
with Howard on the court, usually by a significant margin. Beginning
in 2007-08, his plus/minus numbers on the season, per NBA.com/stats,
were +5.9, +7.0, +7.5 and +6.4. These are rare numbers. The Lakers
and Howard had horrible 2012-13 seasons, but the team was +1.8 with
Howard on the court.
‧自从2005年后Howard在场上时，球队一直都优于对手且通常这个差距都不小
。从2007-08球季开始，根据NBA.com的数据，他的场上正负值（译按：数据
中+/-这项）是+5.9、+7.0、+7.5和+6.4。这些数字可不常见。湖人队和
Howard的2012-13球技季很糟，但当Howard在场上时球队依然有+1.8。
‧Howard joined the league out of high school, can't hit free throws
worth a darn and has one of the most criticized offensive games in
the league. Yet, the lowest true shooting percentage of his career
was 56.5 percent
