Which one is better?

Those stats are all fine and dandy. I don't care what AD does to Sixers or Magic or whoever. When he plays Memphis and LAC, and he's guarding Randolph and Griffin, he's not any better than they are. They are better individual scorers, AD is more athletic, and a better shot blocker. He's not jumping over Griffin for boards or dunks, and he's not getting around Zbo for boards or dunks. They are bigger than him and can push him around. They are all about equal playing each other.

AD has played Memphis twice. Randolph whipped him the first go round, and finished with a double double the second go round, although AD had the better game the second go round.
Griffin out played him in their lone meeting.

If you just look at offense, yes. If you account for defense, rebounding, passing, basketball IQ. Hell No.

The way EG has been playing since his injury return, i can agree with you on this.

Why do you think this?

He's pretty much Asik with a little more energy, more athletic, not as smart, and can catch. Neither of them do anything that much better or worse than the other.
