YAO MING > Dwight Howard

Yao has beat DH consistantly in their match ups. Because DH is the high flyer and the out going personality, he gets media hype and love. Yao is by far a more complete and true center than DH. Not wishing he would get injured, but can you imagine DH after a knee injury? Without his jumping his career is over. No skills. For YAO, people try to make fun of him being slow, but remember this guy is 7’6″ 310lbs. How fast would anyone be at that size? He is actually faster than some smaller bigs in the NBA. You can’t expect a 7’6″ guy to be agile and jump 3 times in 2 secs for tip ins. But has there been any 7’3″ or taller guy that can play with his skills and effort?

The media would be dumb enough to give Greg Oden or Bynum props before to Yao. But Yao schools Oden and Bynum everytime. And Yao guards these centers straight up most of the time while these other big men always double on him with 3 big guys on each team taking their turn to tired out Yao. Give the guy his dues.

YAO MING > Howard > Oden > Bynum

Dag, the nbatv guys went over this 2 days ago and were saying how they like yao but he cant close games cuz he doesn’t dominate late…Something i said all last year to you lol Just cuz yao is a better overall shooter doesn’t make him the #1 center, when dwight puts up just as many points (if not more) and is better in every other area

Didn’t catch the game, but sounds like Houston is a classy place to be a fan. Rooting for ex-players, loud cheers for injured role-players…pretty cool fans, all except for that tool Gee…haha.

I’m a huge Yao fan, though I like Dwight Howard a LOT. At this point, I’d say they’re about even, with Howard having a higher upside. But last night is a reason why, if forced, I’d say Yao is #1 in the league right now, with Howard being 1a.

“Brian Bosworth was there, too, but he somehow wasn’t honored for Stone Cold”

LMAO at the Boz reference
