Nobody has EVER had the physical abilities that Dawkins had. If he had taken himself seriously and worked hard, he'd be the standard by which all centers are measured.

I love mr. chocolate thunder...the first to smash the backboard!!! To walk to class and see him comming down the hall,ducking so as not to take out the lights..what a gentle giant!! I will never forget how he drove to school in his new corvet after being signed on with the 76ers...wonder how he is doing now?

My parents went to high school in Orlando the same time Darryl did. The guy was just absolutely huge in the Orlando area. He truly was the first "manchild" in NBA history. An absolute physical specimen with all the tools in the world. Dwight Howard is the type of player he could have/should have been, but he just never took the game seriously enough to truly excel at it.

All things considered, however, he had successful career and was one of the first pioneers of entering the NBA out of high school. He could of been so much more, though. It's a shame.

Double D. was a manchild, but no one really taught him the game, he had all of the physical attributes, but he was fundementally bankrupt when it came to play against the superior center during his era. His dunks were awesome, but he was too inconsistent for Philly to win the championship. the proof was in the pudding when Double M (Moses Malone) came the next year and won the Championship. Double D. could have been K.G. before his time, he did not improve his game from year to year, thus becoming the ultimate journey man.
