Remember when Rose said he'd take Noah over Dwight?

I think the underlying thing here is that Dwight is a guy you have to structure your team around or he drags it down. Noah is a guy you can plug in on any team and he brings his teammates up.

Dwight has never dragged a team down. Ever. Cite the Lakers if you want but look at how terrible they are. Dwight is better than Noah on both ends. Period.

Noah has more fire, but that's pretty much it

both noah and dwight hold more value than the other player to their respective teams. dwights athleticism will always keep him in talks as a top C in the league, but noah smothers dwight when it comes to mental toughness. something thats invaluable during the playoffs, especially when the going gets tough (which pretty much has been the bulls scenario the last year and a half)

His last season in Orlando? The first third of this season? And yeah, LA.

well, LA was more of a team effort to drag each other down.

Its ridiculous, Bull probably would've won the chip had they had Dwight instead of Noah.

Imagine if they had a Dwight averaging 27/16 on 63% (2011 playoffs).

lol. It still seems silly. Dwight is the best center in the NBA and is not even close.

The man has no killer instinct. He has yet to take a team on his shoulders and close out a series. Kobe made him squirm and cry. He punked his own coach in Orlando.

He has a good stat line but all the indicators point to him being a pretty terrible teammate.

Chemistry is important in the playoffs. You have to know your teammates aren't going to check out or choke.

[IncarceratedBob]

Top 3 centers

M Gasol
Dwigt Howard
Jo No

[Jameerthefear]

"no killer instinct"
holy shit you guys are retarded lol

[YouGotServed]

Yup everyone knows NCAA championships don't matter especially back to back ones

I'd take Noah over Dwight as a defender. Then since you love stats so much how about those 3 extra dimes Noah drops compared to dwight every game? And the fact that the bulls don't have to call post ups for Noah just to keep him happy even though they aren't efficient.

Dwight is an unskilled manchild who was lucky enough to be born with super powers. Noah has determination, grit, and smarts.

Brool story co.

Dwight's team is currently 3rd in the West.Only 3 games behind having the best record in the NBA. Will likely win 57+ games. Multiple DPOYs, led his team to a finals appearance.

Dwight currently has better stats, his team is better, has done more in his NBA career. Saying Noah "hustles" more doesn't make him a better player. Sorry, buddy. It doesn't work that way.

PS- I'm still loling @ NCAA titles.
