He's certainly going to be a superstar. Orlando has also done an excellent job of surrounding with great talent and chemistry. I will be shocked if the Magic don't make it to the NBA Finals within the next 4 years.

He's been a superstar for the last three seasons. If Dwight ever develops an efficient face-up game, he'll be completely unstoppable.

I don't know how you can consider him a superstar since he's yet to take his team past the first round. He and Chris Bosh both have great oppurtunities in the upcoming seasons to develop a great rivalry as the Heat continue to age, the Cavs FO continues to suck, Detroit will eventually tire down with Saunders at the lead, etc. Orlando doesn't get the media coverage across the nation and they haven't done much to merit it yet. Look for them to rival Boston, Detroit, etc. for a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals

I don't care who you are, you need a good team to make it anywhere in the playoffs, in either conference. The Magic are not a good team. Dwight Howard, however, is possibly one of the best five or so players in the NBA.

but to Stunna's point, if the guy ever grows any true offensive skills, he will be a monster. Otherwise, he's always going to be a smaller, more athletic version of Shaq.

I saw him in person when they played the Knicks in late december and he is a player. The Magic need more of a supporting cast before they will be championship contenders. He is an outstanding player though.

CP3 has definitely been the MVP of the Western Conference so far this year. I'd still give Lebron and Howard the edge overall though. It's crazy how young all 3 of these guys are too.

Dwight -- the kid's got it

MVP or not, just looking at what he's cooking up for this year's Slam Dunk contest makes you think twice about even questioning his skill: YouTube - Dwight Howard preps crazy stunts for Slam Dunk Contest 2008

The one stunt he does, the mid-air, bounce-off-the-backboard, left-hand-right-hand dunk, that's sick.

I watch Howard when they came into town to play the Grizz. He killed my boys, he's good.
