Bump in case that somebody that wants to vote hasn't seen this.
Magic Johnson would be the best PG in today's NBA eague if dude was still young and healthy.

A healthy Yao. The man is unguardable 1 on 1.
Wow, this is closer than I thought. Last hours to vote.
When both are healthy, I give Yao the slight edge.
BTW, I'm a wizard fan and new to this forum.
Welcome to the board.
Right now: Yao can't walk. D-How winds by default...
at first i thought easily D-12, but then i looked closer and thought otherwise.
I think people fall in love with Howard's athleticism and since it is unmatched by other centers, they automatically think he is the best.
However, Yao is unguardable. Whenever we play Houston, my eyes are always on Yao because he has the ability to kill us. D-12 never does when we play them. He is a hassle to deal with because of his strength and athleticism, but he was taken away in 4th qtrs of many big games last season. That would never happen to Yao.
yao
he won a serie last year with no allstar and Artest as 2nd option. Dwight can't do that.
until d12 adds ONE post move its yao .... i do like superman tho .. hes awesome ....
Thanks Duncan228! Scrubs fans will understand my screen name. I
just think Yao is better due to size and shooting.
Healthy to win next year: Yao
That Rockets team without Artest and Howard instead of Yao may have won the championship.
Hard to compare, they are polar opposites. I think they both compliment thier respective teams well, which would split the vote towards which one would fit the particular voters team the best.
Yao... he at least has some post moves. Maybe DHo a year from now, depending on what he does in the offseason.
I think they both contribute to same amount of points and rebounds to their respective teams. However, in the 4th quarter Yao > Howard by a mile. , Howard isn't even option #1 during the final minutes.....plus, he can't shoot free throws if his life depended on it. Yao is extremely dangerous late-game. A foul on Yao means 2 automatic points. The only reason this isn't so advantageous to the Rockets is because referees overlook the dirty play by players defending Yao.
I never really liked Dwight, especially once he started ing about getting more touches. Yao is probably the nicest player oncourt in the NBA. Dude is unselfish and unbelievably strong from his legs down. His turnaround jumpshop is a killer. He's so ing slow, and if you watch replays every single defender knows what he's going to do....they just can't stop him. If Yao had better teamates who passed to him more he'd be averaging MVP numbers (Shane Battier is the only guy I see consistently passing to Yao, and the only one who can give him a decent lob).
Dwight has no postgame and relies on the 3-point threat from outside to create oppurtunities to score off putbacks. Yao is the exact opposite...his presence creates holes in 3-point land.
This is with Yao being healthy of course.
D Ho cant shoot
WINNER: Dwight Howard - 52.38% (33 votes)
LOSER: Yao Ming - 47.62% (30 votes)
-BONUS PIC-
Come on. Yao is unarguably the best center in NBA right now when healthy.
Houston won 3 games from Lakers without TM and DM. How many games did Magics won?
If a healthy Yao exchange with Howard in the finals, Magics can probably won the championship.
Yao
Howard.
The question was to pick the best right now. Yao has one foot.
Howard is 23. I've criticized his lack of moves in the post, but his rebounding and defense is pretty damn good. He was a way higher veiling than Yao if he develops some go-to post moves.
uh no.
i love the crap outta D12, but yao is a HORRIBLE matchup for him.
Games played by Yao in past 3 seasons prior to last:
2005-06: 57
2006-07: 48
2007-08: 55
He plays 77 games + playoffs this year and what happened? I like the guy, but no way you're picking him over a healthy, athletic 23 year old monster.
That's stupid. Do you honestly think the OP would want to compare an Injured player vs. a Healthy player?
Who's better now: T-mac or Matt Carrol.
