Amare Stoudemire or Dwight Howard?

Amare averages more PPG and that's about it.
Everything else Yao owns him in.

More ppg
More free throws
More steals

While Yao has

better fg%
.09 rebounding advantage
more blocks
less turnovers

Considering all the stats besides fg% and fta are close I dont see how anyone owned anyone.

Not to mention the fact that they dont play the same position and the Suns have had no true center playing against Yao.

[statman32]

He emerged on his shot blocking ability and somewhat on his scoring ability.

So youve watched him improve those skills this summer because you said Amare was the better player last season and there is no other explaination.

You said this last season

Amare>Dwight

But somehow Dwight moved ahead of him this summer by playing in 0 games?

Steals? How is that even irrlevant to the topic?

More Free throws, yeah, but who made them better?

I don't know about owning him in everything else. Looks like Amare has him in steals. Besides they were not going h2h in all these games. He got most his numbers off of Kurt or what ever clown they had draped on Yao.

Yep they have been pretty even against each other, both have no problems scoring on the other guy.

Yea and Amare scored most of his points on Chuck Hayes :

Why wouldn't it be?

Its relevant because Amare had 1.3 spg which is good for a big man and it shows that he made the other team commit a turnover.

Amare, cause he can actually handle the ball for his size, has a pretty solid jumper and isnt afraid to throw down on anybody ( not that dwight isnt) . I havnt seen too much of howard this past season cause orlando wasnt really on tv too much, but I did watch all the suns game and amare has gotten really impressive. I'm anxious to see what hes gonna do this year

So last season according to you = the 06-07 season?

No actually he did score alot of his buckets on Yao. Yao always tried to clog the lane. Yao was always under or near the basket when Amare scoring.

[statman32]

Agree. Stats are pretty much identical.

Arguing like *****es.
