Yao scores a variety of ways making him more versatile and harder to defend. D12 struggles againts centers just as big as him with defense skills becuase his offensive game is limited. I'm not saying he sucks he's great but yao is better over all.

I[..]ume this list is talking about When healthy otherwise dwayne wade would be lower since he has injury problems as well.

Yao is a better offensive player but that's where it begins and ends. I'd be the first one to admit that DH has hardly any post game at all. I'd bet that he can't even shoot with his off hand. It's kind of pathetic, dude shoulda went to college. But he's way more athletic than Yao, stronger than Yao and more of a presence on defense than Yao. Yao doesn't like to bang on the inside, thus making him a less effective CENTER.

Tell me who you would take.

quit acting dumb like centers don't go to the free throw line.

Yao does bang but the fact that he doesnt have to is a benifit to him, D12 wouldnt bang if he didnt have to but his game is so limited that he has no choice. Stronger? thats an opinion since yao has out rebounded d12 head to head majority of the times they play also since d12 gets in foul trouble guarding yao as do most of hte centers he "doesnt bang" againts. ONly thign d12 has on yao si atheleticism, whats d12 gonan do when he's 30 and he's knees start to break down?

how does bein able to hit jumpers and make freethrows make u a bad center??? see hakim the dream or david robinson....when u can step out and hit the jumper or make free throws then they gotta find a different way to stop you but with dwight if u foul him he only makin 1[pic]....yao 9th averagin 2.02 and dwight 5th averagin 2.15 that aint a big difference. When yao gets the ball he can hit the fade away, when dwigh gets it he either gon try to dunk or pass it out[pic]

Exactly.

shaq is dominant, he demands double teams. Dwight doesnt have any moves so they take their chances on his little hook or whatever he decides to do. Shaq is 7'1 325.....dwight is 6'11 265 theres a major difference.

I'm suprised... Nobody ever gonna agree on list, but this is 1 of the better ones I seen maybe ever lol

Melo has no buisness at 13 though... Personaly I would have him outside the top 20

Nash is 2 high as well

Redd at 43:applause: At least somebody eltz can C how 1 dimensional he is

If Martin can develop some leadership traits, He'll climb way up this list

10-30-2008, 09:48 PM

joe johnson should at least be in the top 20

10-30-2008, 10:35 PM

move billups down around 40 and move nash down a couple spots. wade should be slightly higher and david west is about 8 spots too low. those stood out the most among others

No Granger? dude is a beast

10-31-2008, 07:53 PM

Vince and Chris Bosh are tooooooooo low
