Which makes what Howard is doing even more impressive...


not really, Yao would definitely score more if he didn't have a TMAC or Artest on his team.

Yao is better on offense, Howard is the better defender.

In crunch time, you can't hack Yao, he'll kill you from the line, Howard is a sorry free throw shooter.

Utah's big guys always seriously outplay Yao but neither of them are better.

It makes it much easier to guard a big guy when their weapons from outside aren't great.

I sure did. He is incredible. He has the most intense focus of any player ive ever seen. I'd still want the ball in Pierce's hands at the end of a close game but if I am starting a franchise and want to win rings, its hard not to pick Garnett

PPG:
Kobe- 25
LBJ- 27.3
CP3- 19.7

RPG:
Kobe- 5.4
LBJ- 6.7
CP3- 5.4

APG:
Kobe- 4.3
LBJ- 6.3
CP3- 11.9

Shooting %:
Kobe- 46.1%
LBJ- 49.7%
CP3- 50.7%

k. CP3 also has the best free throw%, 3pt %, Steals per game. While LBJ has the most blocks of course.



Lakers winning percentage = .875
Cavaliers winning percentage = .840
Hornets winning percentage = .682

top 5 players:

1. Kobe (reigning MVP)
2. LeBron (could be #1 by the end of the year)
3. Wade (has worst supporting cast of top 5 players)
4. Paul (Will play at a higher level than Nash did for his two MVP years but will average that for over 10 years)
6. Howard (Physical freak with need of a true PG to explode into an NBA champion)

Sean Marks makes my eyes bleed. Would much rather roll the dice and have JuJu play the 4.
