    I really hope you're joking.

    Dwight Howard is FINALLY starting to develop a back to the basket game.. while it may not be much, he is finally scoring by other ways than dunking.

    The gap between #1 Center and #2 Center is the biggest gap in the NBA.
    Disagree, the gap between the best SF and the 2nd best is the biggest in the league. Howard is certainly the best C by a large margin though, but I agree with a few of the above who say Lopez will be right up there in a few years. Let us not forget, he's pretty damn good defensively as well and much more polished than Howard offensively already.

    IMO, Bynum isn't as good as Bogut or Lopez BUT he'd be better than Howard if he wanted to be--I'm not thinking about injuries here because those are out of anyones control. His ceiling is higher than any C in the league IMO, but he has to just buckle down and be that guy.
    ummm no, the biggest gap is between the centers howard is way above everyone else. Durant and Melo are right behind Lebron.

    PG - Lebron James
    SG - Wade
    SF - Durant
    PF - Duncan
    C- Howard
  • SQ_Crazies
    Melo and Durant aren't as close to LeBron as Lopez, Bynum and Bogut are Howard. Howard is a GREAT player but very overrated right now. People talk about him like he's Shaq, call him Superman. He's not. He's the best C in the league right now, and certainly still has a high ceiling but he isn't THAT good yet.

    Lopez is one of the most underrated players in the league right now. It's because he plays on a shitty team, but he certainly did his thing to help that team win.

    Can you call Howard a superstar? yes
    Can you call lopez a superstar? no, not even a star
    Can you call Bogut a superstar? no, not even a star

    Can you call Lebron a superstar? yes
    Can you call Durant a superstar? yes
    Can you call Melo a superstar? yes


    game over, end of discussion

    When Melo has his head right he is REALLY damn good, which he showed in Cleveland this year.

    The biggest gap is at the C position. Plain and simple, but that's just me.
  • SQ_Crazies
    LeBron can play all 5 positions incredibly effectively. Melo can't, Durant can't. Both are great players but that, and the fact that he's better than both in nearly all facets of the game and more well rounded than both for sure--well...that puts LeBron WAYYYY ahead of those guys IMO.

    But I think LeBron is pretty much head and shoulders over the league right now. And that's not just me. Dwight Howard is vastly overrated with his lack of a dominant offensive game. He's no better offensively than Lopez or Bogut and neither are as far behind as the media would have you think they are defensively. Especially Bogut. He's got a TON of room to improve and is still very young...I expect him to be the best C in the league for quite awhile. But the gap isn't as big as the SF gap. We're talking about the best SF that has ever played the game, ALREADY.

    And his team isn't playing very well right now and they're 2 losses away from another long summer. No one single talent can win a championship.
  • SQ_Crazies
    Why are you telling me that? I'm the guy who has always said that rings are a terrible argument when comparing players because it takes a team to win one.

    everyone you are arguing against is always overrated to you, get some new material

    Lebron cannot play a 5. I already thought Melo was a better scorer then Lebron and going by your own posts Durant is the best scorer in the game so Lebron might be better then them in alot of facets in the game but not the most important one.


    D12 offense is coming along. I like how you mention bogut is very young d12 is 24, Bogut is 25, so i would believe that Dwight has a ton of room to improve to. He is way above them defensively you are crazy to think it is close. Bogut has had one pretty good year and you think he will be the best center ahahahhahahahahahhahaha get the fuck outta with your lame ass fucking bullshit.
  • Trueblue23
    Not to mention Dwight is the TWO TIME DEFENDING DPOY.

    Dwight > Bogut

    Howard is finally starting to develop a back to the basket game, which is really scary.

    I think someone mis-read this post.
  • wildcats20
    The "he's" SQ is talking about is Howard
  • Trueblue23
    Yep^^^ But I see how he got it mixed up, not a big deal though.

    And btw SQ, you're a dbag haha
  • Nate
    PG = CP3
    SG = Kobe
    SF = Bron
    PF = Amare
    C = Howard
  • Laley23
    PG - Deron
    SG - Kobe
    SF - LeBron
    PF - Amar'e
    C - Dwight

    Im a little surprised there isnt more love for Bosh at the PF slot. I think Amar'e, Bosh, and Pau are pretty interchangeable right now. I give the edge to Amar'e, but I really think that is the closest race of any position. Dirk is the best offensive player of all of them, but his game doesnt fly with me in the at the PF position. PG is tough since Paul hasnt been at the top of his game for a looooong time due to injury.

    PG: Deron Williams, 2nd: Rajon Rondo
