Peak Alonzo Mourning or Peak Dwight Howard

[QUOTE=LAClipsFan33]He had one big defensive game. Overall they put the series on his shoulders be running the offense through him and he failed to do anything. He was supposed to be this domiant force who was unstoppable in the paint and Gasol got a good base, put his arms up, and kept him from doing anything besides bricking off that sh*tty sweeping hook.[/QUOTE]

Actually, you should be looking at Gasol.

Those weren't incredibly dominant numbers considering he spent a lot of time being guarded by Lewis. And what's with the low rebounds?

Stop being an idiot.

One thing that should be kept in mind is that Howards rebounding improved greatly once Rashard was signed. Rashard is a very weak rebounder at the 4 which allows Howard to get more rebounds.

Zo was a better shotblocker. Howard got 2.9 blocks in his best year. Zo had 6 seasons getting that or better.

Howards offensive skills are lame. If he can't get to the rim he is pretty worthless. Zo wins by default here.

I would take Zo.

[QUOTE=ShaqAttack3234]Come on, you know damn well as a Clippers fan you'd throw a party if the Clippers got a player near Dwight's caliber.[/QUOTE]

Exactly.

So LACF, you'd rather have Kaman than Howard?

Is there really anything else left to be said? End this thread already, Dwight wouldnt even be a top 5 center in the 90's, this has been discussed before.

There are a ton of centers who didn't score well unless they were near the rim. His offense isn't flashy or inredible, but it isn't lame. He did have 2 20 ppg seasons on very efficient percentages.

Zo was a better shot blocker than Dwight is at the moment, but Dwight is only 24. At least 3 or 4 years from his prime.

As far as rebounding, that works in two ways. Often times, Dwight is the only Magic player down there jumping for a rebound against 2 or 3 of the opposing teams players. This is Magic's fans biggest complaint, is that Dwight has to go up against 2 or 3 players constantly.

[QUOTE=zORi]Exactly.

I'd rather have Howard because Kaman has the same issues with heart and Howard is a better player.

But we are talking about Zo here...who was way better than Howard.

It's Dwight but it's close

Stop being a homer and if you don't like it don't post here. Simple.

Also, Mourning was barely (if at all) top 5 C in that time.

Olajuwon
Robinson
Shaq
Ewing
Dikembe
Mourning

And all those guys are better than Dwight

Dikembe wasn't better than Mourning and Ewing wasn't much better.

:oldlol:

U know what though it is a toss up between 3-6, cant even front. But speaks volume of how sorry the league is in the C position, no matter how many accolades Dwight gets, he will never be better than a prime Zo in my book,

Deke was not better than Zo.

All of them have had a full career resume to look upon.

Dwight's only 24, as I've said before, he's got a good 10 years more to go.

that post= super-homerism. You don't have to post anymore, we know what you're going to say.

BTW, For those who have been posting, I accidentally put Mourning under Deke.

Howard can't score outside 5 feet. that is why his playoff performances have been so lame. Against this eras weak crop of centers it is pretty easy for him to get to the rim, either on drives or follow ups.

It is a lot easier to get rebounds next to Rashard than it would be next to Boozer. Each rebound Boozer gets is one less rebound Howard could have gotten.

Why do you think Howards rebounding shot up as soon as Lewis signed?
