From being single-time for King James to being missed by the 75th World!

. Because as long as his back is slightly deviated, it may lead to lifelong paralysis.

Although the doctor repeatedly emphasized that his basketball career was over, Howard returned to the court in just four months, was selected as the All-Star in the first half of the season, averaged 22 points and 13 rebounds per game in the second half of the season, winning the rebounding champion, ranking second on the block list. But even so, Los Angeles fans at the time criticized him, believing that he was the direct reason for the Lakers' failure that season. This is also the attitude of major media towards him at that time.

According to Howard's own statement, the rumors of disagreement between him and Kobe are mainly due to the differences in age and personality, which leads to the two's completely different ways of playing. Kobe wants to win in his way, and Howard also wants to win in his way, but Howard advocates a happy and happy playing style, which is completely different from Kobe's paranoidness, which is also the reason why the two failed to get together.

In addition to the above reasons, another problem that troubles him is the special care mentioned above from his predecessor O'Neal.

Both are super centers in NBA history, both are the first draft picks, and they both started their careers in Orlando. Howard is naturally inevitably compared with O'Neal. Howard said that he liked watching O'Neal play since he was a child, and even thought that he was the most dominant center in history, but he didn't understand why O'Neal hated him.

According to Howard, he felt that if he was O'Neal, he would be very happy to have a little brother who could follow his own pace, and he would give him all support and help him grow.

Howard said that although he had contacted O'Neal privately to try to understand why he was disgusted with him, O'Neal did not buy it, and even in the later stages of Howard's career, he could not escape O'Neal's criticism.

He also doesn't understand why a Hall of Fame level player like O'Neal will keep causing trouble for him, and few centers can shake O'Neal's historical status. As for Howard, he just wanted to play his legend, and never thought of challenging or surpassing O'Neal.

To this day, including O'Neal, there are still a large number of people who believe Howard is not a Hall of Fame player. What's even more outrageous is that among the 75 major stars announced by the NBA in the league, Howard was also left out of the roster.

This was also a serious blow to Howard. The defeat in the 75th National Congress even directly promoted his retirement idea. Although I have gone through so much hard training, endured so much painful recovery, received enough honors, and played my own excellent career, all this seems to be completely worth mentioning in the eyes of some fans.

In the eyes of some paranoid fans, the prejudice against Howard has even reached a point of hopelessness. Looking at NBA history, no second player can have such a brilliant career like Howard but is not reasonably respected. Those inexplicable negative labels have indeed influenced the positive evaluation of him by the outside world and had a direct impact on his career.
