LeBron's jumping ability got him on posters. His passing ability, leadership, effort on defense, and killer instinct got him to the finals two years ago. His attention to detail, work ethic, and ability to take over a game are getting him back this year.
Of these, Dwight Howard is good on defense. He is not a leader. Leaders don't call out the coach on national TV. He has no killer instinct. He is last person you would want on the floor in the last two minutes of a game. If he hadn't fouled out, the Magic would have lost Game one. He can't pass out of the double team.
LeBron has added a new skill every year. He is an above average three point shooter now. When he came into the league he couldn't hit an open three. He is not working on the midrange game, which he is already better at than most of the league.
What new skill has Dwight Howard added? Why is he still a shit free throw shooter.
He is an overrated kid in a man's game, and it's time everyone got off his balls, and take him for what he is. A very athletic foul machine, who puts up numbers but drags down his team as a whole.
