Who is the best center in the league?

[ObiOneManu]

Dwight's fans could only say that if he could have post moves,if he could develop offensive skills,if he could make more freethrows.Come on,face the fact now,no imagination,OK?

Like you guys,could i pick Shaq's son or Yao's future babe?Huhhh......

[Kobe24Life]

Yao averages more points, rebounds, has an outside game, and can make his free throws. Not dissing Dwight but Yao is a overall better player.

How can anyone think Dwight is better? Sure he is a target for defense but Yao can block also, just not as monstrous.

what the hell are you talking about?

I don't think there is any question that yao is more skilled, but he cant stay healthy and because of dwights athleticism he has better production.

take your pick.

What the f*cking hell are you talking about? Dwight OBVIOUSLY averages more rebounds, and he averages more points as well.

You aren't even from America. Credibility denied.

During the finals it was pretty obvious Howard can't do anything if you play some good defense on him. He's one of the most overrated players in the NBA.

Skill wise:

Defense: 9
Offense: 3

Now on the subject, in my opinion Yao is better , but let's get something straight. 2K8 was mentioning how much fantasies it was to say stuff like "Dwight only has to add some post moves to his arsenal" and although it is, it is just as much to say that Yao is the best when ehalthy, because he's never healthy. The talent is obviously there, but I don't ever see him win a Championship because he's always out when it counts, most talented center or not, if you can't get your team further because you are unjury plagued, i don't want you. And thus i would take Howard, yes skills-wise he is inferior to Yao, but his mentality and toughness make him a good centerpiece to a championship caliber team.

Good point, Healthy Yao = Dwight with post moves. But meh it's easier to control injuries than your game.

@ Kobe24Life

which ****in nba are u watching ??? yao doesnt average more points or rebounds or blocks than dwight

[black_prince]

yao hasnt played long enugh to be mentioned with dwight.

[Zero Requiem]

i voted howard because hes could be unstopable, but vs the lakers, hes like a fart in the wind.

nice to know he only shows up vs the celtics and cavs.

[flawless victory]

Yao at 100% still isn't the better center, and it would only be a matter of time before his glass foot would break again and take him out for the year, so OF COURSE Howard is better. More durable, more dependable, FAR superior athlete, far better rebounder and defensive player, and still averaged more PPG despite having an inferior skillset on offense. Howard >>>>>>>>>> Yao. EASY

Al Jefferson and Shaquille O'Neal are better than Yao as well.
