    LOL WUT?

    Dude was thisclose to leading the league in scoring. Ignorance on your behalf.

    Lol Howard is clearly better than Kobe?
  • robj55
    Kobe shot 43% from the field last year, it's not out of the question to say that Dwight is the better all around player at this point.
  • j_crazy
    Anyone remember years ago, possibly on jj when I said I disliked Dwight Howard and got lambasted for it? I do.

    Dwight dominates on both ends of the floor and dominates the glass, it certainly is not out of the question. Kobe is what 34 now?

    That wasn't my point. I'm not debating who is the better overall player. I'm saying it's f*cking stupid to say that Howard is clearly better.
  • Rotinaj
    Howard can't even be trusted to play in the final minutes of a game because of how terrible he is at free throws. He's also not a dominant offensive force. No post moves, he dunks. That is all.

    Are all of the Laker fans on here in favor of trading Bynum for Howard?

    I dislike him. But I would welcome him in LA.

    Yeah, not a chance lol. I take it Dwight still isn't 100%? Also kinda surprised Bynum isn't on the roster.

    Are you saying this because you think Spain's roster is on par with the U.S. or because it didn't really come off as running his mouth?

    I think the US's roster is much better. Its just all he said was he thinks that their roster is on par and it'll be a tough road to the final. Not really trash talk imo.

    Unless there's gonna be an Olympic dunk contest that I don't know about, it's a joke that they're gonna give Griffin a spot.

    Agreed. But since it's mostly up and down on the fast break for the US. He will probably have some wow moments.

    Kobe is better than Dwight. Dwight isn't even a top 20 player in the league; but he is the best center in the league.

    Yes, I know. I am just looking for the list of final candidates. I took that roster off the US Basketball website. Those are the finalists, unless you are trying to say they aren't the finalists.

    Those are the guys at camp now or whatever. But is not the roster.
  • GOONx19
    Of those players, Anthony Davis, Rudy Gay, Eric Gordon, James Harden and Andre Iguodala are still competing for two spots, as Griffin is reportedly a lock.
