15 Underrated Seasons from The Past 15 Years (2003-2004 to 2017-2018)

7. Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic, 2010-2011

Stats: 22.9 ppg, 14.1 rpg, 2.4 bpg

Finished 2nd in MVP voting.

Once upon a time, before the Dwightmare and stints with the Lakers, Rockets, Hawks, Hornets, Nets, and this upcoming season with the Wizards, Howard was a legitimate MVP-caliber superstar. Averaging a dominant 23-14 along with playing his usual dominant brand of defense, Howard was a highly coveted piece around the league, with his best season coming in the 2010-2011 season.

A nightly 20-20 threat, Howard never quite reached these levels again, being held down by back issues as his career progressed. This season is not quite remembered by the typical NBA fan due to his damaged reputation around the league.

6. Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat, 2008-2009

Stats: 30.2 ppg, 7.5 apg, 5.0 rpg

Finished 3rd in MVP voting.

Following an awful season marred by injuries in his knee and shoulder with the Heat winning a mere 15 games, Wade came out with a vengeance, posting his best season across the board. He won the NBA scoring title, and led the Heat to the playoffs, but we rarely hear this season when mentioning some of the greatest individual seasons of all time.
