"So when does the weed turn into crack?" - NBA fans troll Dwight Howard for saying he has a better prime than Nikola Jokic

Dwight Howard recently said that he had a better prime than two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. Howard, an eight-time All-Star and three-time Defensive Player of the Year, hit his prime early and was an unstoppable force in the paint. However, fans are not buying what Howard is selling, as they consider Jokic to be the better player.On 'Run It Back' on Fan Duel TV, Chandler Parsons asked his former teammate about the Nuggets superstar. Howard will take his prime over Jokic, who is labeled the best player in the league after leading Denver to their first NBA Finals.&quot;Prime Dwight Howard,&quot; Howard said. &quot;All day, every day. I'm dominating every play with a smile on my face. I'm taking prime Dwight Howard.&quot;FanDuel TV@FanDuelTVPrime Nikola Jokic… or prime Dwight Howard?@DwightHoward is taking himself “ALL DAY, EVERYDAY!” #RunItBack with @ShamsCharania @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons &amp; @bansky15Prime Nikola Jokic… or prime Dwight Howard?@DwightHoward is taking himself “ALL DAY, EVERYDAY!” 😂#RunItBack with @ShamsCharania @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons &amp; @bansky https://t.co/xeWCnH8sPxDwight Howard had one of the best peaks of an NBA big from 2007 to 2012, leading the Orlando Magic to the NBA Finals in 2009.

He runs back down the court just as fast as the others.Also Jokic not even close to his prime so no need to compare yet.@TheNBACentral @FanDuelTV Jokic is so much more than a center though.

Notably, it was short-lived, as injuries robbed Howard of his explosiveness and athleticism. He's undoubtedly one of the greatest defensive centers of all time, but Jokic is arguably an entirely different big man at the defensive end.Also Read: &quot;It's like a slap in the face&quot; - Andre Iguodala was stunned to see Klay Thompson texting him to hangoutDwight Howard's NBA careerThe LA Lakers celebrating after winning the 2020 NBA FinalsDwight Howard was a high school phenom from Atlanta, Georgia.
