Howard is better IMO, but Gasol has a really good argument for 2nd..it's between Pau and Dirk right now..
As of the past 2 Years
Pau has been the BEST big man in the NBA
Who here agrees?
Howard is better IMO, but Gasol has a really good argument for 2nd..it's between Pau and Dirk right now..
And as usual, your opinions are dog![]()
I've already beat you in many arguments involving Howard, try harder..
Find one, Vince Carter is a HOF'er.
A Dwight Howard that doesn't get into foul trouble and shoot 37% from the free throw line is the best big around.
Pau is definitely the 2nd. No other big has a more complete game and Gasol's confidence is sky high after that championship.
I've never said that Vince Carter is a HOFer..I've said that he has a good chance at making it if Orlando wins a ring and he has a big role IMO, which he would pretty much have to for them to win it..
Myself and mogro have already proven all the anti-Howard arguments wrong, you've been involved in a few of them, you still haven't given a legitimate argument..you're acting asshurt over Howard vs. Dirk, as usual..
Being under the opinion that Carter is a HOF'er is as dumb as being under the opinion that NY is a lock to get a big time FA this summer.
Pau is still a bit soft to be called the best big man
What are you mad about?..tell me..
You come to that conclusion based on my posts? Weird.
You said my opinions are dog , it's an angry post..I'm curious as to why you are mad..
Who cares.
He's probably the biggest big man pussy in the NBA. Everytime he goes 'hard' to the hoop, he lets out some awful war cry that sounds like a mating whale having anal sex with a horse.
Right now I agree, I don't know if that has been the case for the past two years.
I say pau is 3rd ... torn between duncan and amare for 4th I say Duncan still especially if you say past 2 years but this year amare>duncan
Dirk is the best PF in the game dummy...where you been?

I say big man right now:
1. Dwight (offense still a work in progress but growing)
2. Dirk (not traditional still crazy effective)
3. Pau (no true weakness wish he wa sMORE dominant)
4. amare (when he gets going ...relies on Nash a lot)
5. Tim cant leave him off for Bosh, Bogut etc too much respect for him ...
i agree Dwight over Dirk beacuse Howard's defense trumps Dirk's offense Howard is till improving on offense dirk's dfense will only get worse ...
Nowitzki is not in the running. I wouldn't classify him with the likes of Howard, Duncan and Gasol. Completely different type of player and nowhere near the all around impact of the other three.
As for Gasol, sure, he's playing fantastic right now, but how quickly people forget that this is a guy who could never carry a team. When the Grizzlies were even semi-respectable, it was mostly because of their depth. But they never even won a playoff game in three different years. If that were Garnett or McGrady in that position, they would never live that down. Inexplicably, like his arrogance, Gasol has escaped this fact and the fact that the Spanish national team, until recently, almost always came up short when it mattered most and why? Because their best player shrunk in the biggest moments generally.
Also, despite being one of the longest players in the league, he's matched up against power forward a lot of the game because of the presence of Bynum. He doesn't have to deal with being the focal point of a teams defense or game plan either, because that responsibility falls on Bryant. Rarely is he double teamed with any degree of consistency, he's mostly played straight up by guys three-four inches smaller. Save for a select few situations, you put him on most teams and he is their center, the focal or co-focal point of the defense and I doubt he's as good as he appears to be at the moment.
All this is not to say he's not very good, but I still don't buy this notion that he's better than Duncan. When Duncan got adequate rest for a player with his age/mileage this season, he was still the best big man in the league. Why is what he did in the first half of the season mostly ignored, but when Gasol is playing at an extremely high level, it's confirmation that he's better?
Gasol > Duncan
Why should Gasol get punished for being in better shape/younger?
Bogut > Duncan
A big man with a pussy? Sounds like your kin of woman sigz.
Duncan isn't even good enough to crack the rotation on my team.
Howard: PER, 23; Winshares, 1.2;
Gasol: PER, 26.5; Winshares, 2
Pau is better.
