Bigger gap: Jordan and Hakeem or LeBron and Dwight

[eliteballer]

I for one think Hakeem's prime was on the same general level as Jordan/Magic/Bird. Not sure on this question. What you all think?

Much bigger gap between LeBron & Dwight.

Hakeem was unbelievable in his day. All time top 10 player. Dwight will never reach that top 10 all time status. LeBron could.

Lebron/Dwight is certainly the larger gap

I don't think there is no doubt Lebron will be in the top 10 when it's all said and done. Guess it depends how many titles he wins and if he can continue putting up amazing stats.

[Indian guy]

In MJ and Hakeem you're looking at 2 Top 10 players of ALL TIME. In LeBron and Howard you have one Top 20 guy, and Dwight is......well, where does he rank right now?

[Fatal9]

'93-'95 Hakeem and '91-'93 Jordan is a toss up imo.

[Horde of Temujin]

Dwight is not even top 10, hell top 15 in the league right now

Dwight Howard will have a great career because he has it laid out for him. There are no other serious challengers at the five now.

That said, he's yet to show that he can truly dominate night in and night out. LeBron has been doing that for several years. Dwight's now five years into his career and he's not there.

You can make the argument that for the two championship years in Houston, Hakeem was as good as anyone ever was. Jordan is obviously the greatest, but Hakeem's best is right next to his.

LOL you better re review all teh records Dwight crushed this year. And that his career has still only begun. He has tons of unused and unseen potential. Dont get blindsided when dude finally busts some moves out.
IMO he'll go down as the number 1 bigman of all time. Mind you not for the mindless masses who only pay attention to scoring.

Look at the magic. Most 3s in an NBA season. Ill give 1 guess why? CAuse Dwight can erase the misses on defense. Without him the 3pt jack frenzy dont work like that.

WAtch him play. Dudes avoid the paint cause hes there. He changes, or has greater effect on teh entire game, than any other player in the league right now. His presence is enough to make defense on the floor. Even when he aint there people are looking for him.

Yea dude pay more attention. Dwight is off the chain and only stands to expand his game even more. His defense thus far CRUSHES any big man before. Because hes playing against faster and more talented scorers. And still putting up ridiculous D.

Dwight would shut down old schoolers like bird and magic.

His offense leaves something to be desired. But IMO the coach didnt encourage him to expand his game. He was too busy erasing missed 3s to erase his own offensive mistakes. He had to remain efficient. And with teh highest FG% in the league he obviously did it very well. But i think next year hes gonna start out taking more offensive risk. And IMO it will pay off for him.

Also lebron and JM are in a category seperate from bird and them. Sorry old guy fans. Fact is MJ and Lebron would snap their ankles 17 ways from sunday. Bird and all those old school players were great, but they played a bunch of ****in daisy duke wearin ole fogeys man. Cmon dude you go to the gym and wathc the old jump shooting geezer who dont do shit but jump shoot. Thats who they played against.

The only gap in between Lebron and MJ is shooting. But IMO Lebron makes up for it with efficiency and greater defense.

LMAO @ this. No.

The gap between MJ/Hakeem is smaller than between Dwight/Lebron, but anyone who suggests that Hakeem = MJ is deluded, plain and simple.

[zORi]

Dwight is not even top 10, hell top 15 in the league right now

Name 15 players (or even 10) that are better than him right now.

Hurry, I need a laugh.
