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.

At least I'm using stats in the points im making, your using these very broad terms and giving no quantifiable proof of what your saying.

And you keep saying that when they play each other they are better scorers than AD. AD is an average post up defender but he has shown the ability to block those hook shots and other post shots guys like Randolph and griffin like to use, he's not a pushover down low like in previous seasons.

And those guys have to guard AD on the other end as well, and a player that can guard him is hard to find, and Blake and ZBo are not those players. Just because they are bigger does not mean they are better scorers or can stop AD from scoring. AD has a better and more consistent jump shot than both those guys not to mention his ability to handle the ball, drive to the basket, post fade, floater, better free throw shooting, and his ability to draw fouls, and that's only his ISO scoring, I won't even get into his transition or PnR. Only thing they are better at offensively is back to the basket.
