Glen Rice had the better career, but for a few years it looked like the Big Dawg might be an elite player. He always put up nice stats, but never really reached that next level.

3P: Mourning.

Danny Granger or David Lee?

That's tough, but I'd pick Roy. Roy has done better on a worse team.

Kevin Harlan or Marv Albert

Hey, I already asked that one. :evil:

I'd say Dwight Howard because he is almost dominant inside while Bosh has more of an inside-outside game.

Who would you rather build your team around, Carmelo Anthony or Dirk?

CB4 or Dwight Howard?



Right now I have to say Bosh. Unlike Dwight he is able to knock down midrange jumpers and the occasional three so that has gotta make him tougher to defend, especially when you couple a slow big man defender not used to guarding the perimeter with Bosh's speed and athleticism, he has the choice to either take the shot or go right by his man.

Howard is a lot stronger down low but as of now I think Bosh has the upper hand in low post ability. Howard isn't yet as polished offensively but at just 21 and no college experience that will come in time, right now I think his low post scoring mostly comes on brute strength and athleticism rather than post smarts.

Defensively Howard is better. He is a better rebounder, shot blocker, and is alot stronger than Bosh so can keep his man away from the basket easier. Another thing Bosh has the upperhand in is free throw shooting. Bosh usually hangs around the high 70s to low 80s percentage wise while Howard shoots in the low 60s.

Going back to offence, I would say Howard is the more efficient offensive player. He shoots high percentage shots and gets a lot of tip ins and put back dunks, he doesn't always need the ball in his hands to score. I think Howard will probably always be the more efficient scorer because Bosh now has that mid range game which generally means lower percentage shots. Howard however, turns the ball over quite alot. He averages 3.7 TOs per game - good for 4th worst in the league while barely playing 35 minutes per. Bosh averages just 2.7 TOs per with more minutes played. I think this shows how Howard is still learning the game offensively and how Bosh is a bit ahead after an extra year of NBA ball plus college.

Overall as I said, Bosh right now I would say is the better player. Down the track, its a toss up. Howard I believe will be the better defensive player and the better low post scorer, Bosh will be close in low post scoring ability but will be miles ahead of Howard in other facets of the offence, such as his ability to knock down mid to long range jumpshots, ball handling, etc.

Id have to take McGrady probably even tho i like Carter more Mcgrady has a much better all round game hes a great passer, rebounder a supreme scorer and is very versitile, Carter on the other hand is a much better Dunker and probably a bit faster and more athletic.

Gerald Wallace or Lamar Odom

Jonathan Bender never would have become anything, he was simply a good horse player. That was a complete waste of a pick, I still kill myself over who we could have drafted instead of Bender.

Matt, I'm definitley going with Shawn Bradley.

Charles Barkley or David Robinson?

Kobe and T-mac or D-wade and Lebron (2 on 2 matchup)


D-wade and Lebron
D-wade is not as good as kobe, but LeBron is definitely better than T-Mac, touch decision though ;).

Wow. That's a very valid answer, but it's interesting to take a step back and remember that in 2003, who would've thought we'd be comparing LeBron and Wade to the 2 (arguably) best wing players in the league in Kobe and Tmac. :o

This one has been done a million times already. :P Garnett is the better player at the current time, so right now, I give him the slight edge.

Chris Paul or Chauncey Billups?
