The Next Great Bigman?
48MoH reader Matthew, whose parents have held Spurs season tickets since 1970, emailed with this observation:
Pundits are quick to mention Dwight Howard as the best big today and everyone seems to be in awe of the season he had this year but when compared across the board statistically to even just the rookie years of players like Shaq, Duncan, the Admiral, and Olajuwon it appears that these players came into the league better players.
Maybe Matthew is correct. I’m not sure. But a chart he sent along gives us something to think about...
