please tell me you dont mean jaokim noah?

and kerr as a potential best 6th man of all time? also i dont understand why you have stockton on there, since he was a starter.

yep, joakim noah
he's got the stamina of a beast, and great defense. that is all i need considering the others around him


and yeah, stockton and kerr as 6th, because magic is there.
and i'll never ever bench magic ever

considering this group, i only need them to come in and dish, and the occasional 3 (kerr is a god in 3's)

ya, maybe CPIII is better than deron, but I did not catch a lot of his games though.

but still, amare vs superman is a toss up, and since I tend to go for defense and punishment at that spot, and a good rebounder (since we already got good offensive weapons, we need balance) i guess howard is my pick

Code:

Size: Dwight Howard - 1" taller, 15 lbs heavier

Dunking: Tie - Dwight Howard had a nice day at the slam dunk contest, but come on... The only impressive one was the behind the backboard dunk... The Superman? lol he didn't even dunk it... I'm pretty sure there are a lot of players that can do that... Only reason it won was cuz he hyped it up with the Superman costume... On the highlight reel I sure see a lot more Stoudemire dunks...

Passer: Dwight Howard - Both are not very good and probably never will be... They arn't asked to pass much so maybe it's not their fault...

Stealing: Tie - Again both are nothing special, well what can you really expect for big men?

Speed: Amare Stoudemire - He's definetely more agile and can run the floor better

Post Presense: Dwight Howard - Offensively and definevely he wears teams down... While Amare uses his speed on the offensive side, he gets backed down lots while playing center and has regular foul trouble

Shooting: Amare Stoudemire - Has developed a nice jump shot, but his three still needs work

Blocks: Tie - They both are good shot blockers, but Dwight Howard is more of a presence like I stated before

Free Throws: Amare Stoudemire - He just shoots a better percent... While Dwight is almost Shaq like (ok not that bad)

Rebounder: Dwight Howard - This one's easy... Stoudemire is a good rebounder but Dwight is one of the best

Ball Handler: Amare Stoudemire - This is what you would expect out of the more agile guy...

Sum it up: If I was looking for a post presence, Dwight Howard is my guy...

If I was looking for the better overall player... Amare Stoudemire

Amare's only weakness is that he has been playing center his whole career... and always would get in foul trouble

If you look at Amare's minutes... 32.9 this year vs Dwight Howard's 38.7

That's 5.8 minute difference

Yet you look at the stats, Amare is right up there with him... Or even ahead in some categories

Rebounds: Dwight Howard 14.6 - Amare Stoudemire 9.3

PPG: Amare Stoudemire 23.2 - Dwight Howard 21.7

Blocks Per Game: Dwight Howard 2.4 - Amare Stoudemire 2.3

Turnovers Per Game: Amare Stoudemire 2.0 - Dwight Howard 3.2

With Shaq coming in to play center... I am really interested to see how Amare's game develops

I need someone who lives to dish at pg. let kobe and lebron carry the team, and timmie and superman to block the shit out of opponents, and pick up the trash. CPIII is starting to sound a whole lot better now at pg, since he can score well too


How about arenas, ai, or tony parker (aside from deron obv)?

I love Tony (ofc) but a lot of times he shrinks when the game is on the line. Not only shooting-wise, but he stops penetrating and stars just finding ways to hand the ball off to Manu.

CP>Tony right now, but, I still say Tony is a top 5 PG behind CPIII, DW, Nash, and Chauncey.

I dont get why a lot of teams are stressing offense sooo much, look at 3 of the 4 Conference Finalits, all defense-first teams and LA isn't a slouch either.

Sadly true, Steve Nash is definitely and has been proven time and time again to be one of the worst defensive players in the league


fyp

Nash
AI
'melo
Dirk
Okur

would easily give up 130+ pts a game.
