What? Yao statistically vs D12 has dominated in all the parts that count. The fuck are they talking about. Also despite Yao not being a 4th quarter choke artist, Dwight's still a better center? Makes no damn sense.
+jerrybronham Actually, he's just too big, the lack of stamina causes him to miss more than anything else in the 4th, since he always gets injured and can't stay in shape because of it.
@TheAnvilMan For this season, Shaq averaged 55.8% free throw percentage and Dwight averaged 55.1% free throw percentage. but there's no doubt that Dwight is one of the worst free throw shooter.
if i was asked to choose out of the 2 when healthy i'd choose Yao since he can do what howard can but he can actually make those crucial freethrows if he gets fouled on a game winning shot
These guys are CRAZY!!! Yao Ming>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dwight Howard. If not for injuries, Yao would still be here schooling Dwight Howard on who really is the BEST Center. Yao has ACTUAL Post-Game moves like what a C should have. Yao also has SUPERIOR footwork & amongst one of the Best we've seen Ever for a C. Yao at 7'5 had a FADEAWAY Jumper that was unstoppable. His Skyhook? Unblockable. FT Line...83%, nuff said. His only handicap was health, never his game.
the guy rootin for dwight - "Dwight is better because he is very physical and able to get to the foul line, although you dont really want him there" your argument is invalid.
Dwight scored more points, blocked more shots, and grabbed more rebounds than Yao Ming does stupid. Dwight just came out of the finals while Yao made it out of the first round one time in his life and he's 29 now. Dwight is only 24.
ESPN needs to fire both of these sports casters because they don't know what they're talking about. Dwight Howard did nothing for the Magic against the Lakers in the finals and he as well as the team got man-handled. Yao on the other hand was a huge factor for the Rockets when they gave the Lakers the toughest match-up in the post season.
You definitely have an advantage if you are shorter. Which means you are faster and can get around your man easily. Dwight Howard should be able to beat Yao with his quickness but he can't because all he can do is dunk. He has no low post game. His hook shot is horrendous and he can't shoot worth anything. I would actually take Al over Dwight. Al is a more complete player, he can shoot, drive, and hit a hook shot.
really? obviously you never watch him play. he has a baseline jump hook on both sides, baseline turnaround jumper. left handed jump hook, turn to the middle jump hook, turn to the middle jumper, and baseline spin penetration. and he can also hit the 18 footer from a pick and pop. ALL of these he can score with on consistent bases. cant say the same for dwight
As of today its not even a question Dwight Howard is the better center by a landslide. But a healthy Yao against Dwight Howard I don't care what anyone says Yao will domintae Dwight. And it's been proven everytime they play against each other.
Yao has one of the best, if not the best, post-up moves than any other centers in his time due to his gigantic size advantage and his soft touch with the ball. His highly polished and effective turn-around jumper, hook-shot, and fade-away is an art form in itself.
the rockets have to go through way more than the magic to make the playoffs. In the eastern conference, there are 2-3 monster teams, but its more of a matter of seeding, not qualifying. In western conference final, your happy with any seed u get.
if your a real basketball fan and you like all around post players with an array of post moves you pick yao ming...if you just like high flying dunks (mostly off of passes) and a more buff looking physique you pick dwight howard
i'd say dwight howard right now but if yao ming is healthy he's by far the best center in the west hands down. He's the best in the NBA when he plays with that mean streak he's been playing with
Dwight howard is better now because his post game has improved, not as good as yao's but it has improved, Dwight is quicker faster and a higher leaper and these attributes make him better on the defensive end plus he is only going to get better, last year it was yao because he was WAY more reliable down low, but now its DH
@wheredidugetthat He's not the 'worst' free throw shooter. There's still Ben Wallace and Shaq holding those titles. All he does is dunk? That isn't as easy as it looks. He isn't 7'5" like Yao. What's amazing about Dwight is his agility and HIS height. There isn't anyone more athletic or agile than him in that height. Both in their prime I'd still go with Dwight just because of his athleticism, and I don't think we've reached Dwight's prime yet.
, yao mings weakness is his athletiscm but his 7'6 310 lb frame can compenste, yaos points come off of skilled moves and a feathery soft touch. Yao has better basketball skills but dwight impacts the game more on a defensive and rebounding standpoint because his strength and athletiscm is hard to match, the difference to me is yao requires a double team and for teams to center there defense around him, dwight u just gotta box out and watch him near the bucket
lol ironic since you are hating on yao. Yao ming is 10 times more polished and skilled in the post than dwight, he has a whole arsenal of moves, while dwight doesnt have much other than brute forcing and dunking.
this is like when all the media said shaq was better than hakeem. dwight today would be a real matchup for the yao ming back then. but dwight back then? still learning and getting better. yao was definitely the better big man at the time. there is some prejudice going on- they want to choose the more muscular black dude over the lanky asian, because on the surface that seems the better choice. ridiculous since they just said the stat was 6-2, houston, when the two teams match up.
one more thing to add... being big, buff and physical does not mean the best center! Howard is only a good center cuz he can jump higher than anyone... thats really the only thing he is better than yao at
Yeah, they talk about Orlando having the best 3pt %, it's cuz they have 3pt shooters, the Rockets don't have any KNOWN 3pt shooters. But imagine if D12 had Yao's shooting ability... man, we'll be talking the PF/C version of MJ right there.
I'll say Yao just by a bit. Dwight is unstoppable in the paint, his weakness are his free throws and outside shots. Which Yao possesses. However Yao lacks strength and power and athleticism Dwight has.
btw lol orl plays in the east of course they would have more wins... and considering all of the injuries that the rox have had from mac to ron to rafer when they had him to battier to landry to battier the list goes on. so the games won part isnt a factor in whos better.
Double and fronting yao ming got the Blazers out of the playoff.. DH is def the best dunker among all the centers in the leauge.. but best center overall.. he's still go lots of work to do.
@be1j1ngk1ng Using your logic, does that mean Dan Marino is a terrible quarterback because he never won a super bowl? Same goes for Barry Sanders, who was arguably one of the most prolific RBs in the NFL. What about Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, John Stockton? Ted Williams, Craig Biggio and Ken Griffey Jr in baseball?
@be1j1ngk1ng Not finished yet, The Magic last year got to the finals because they had ALL of their players HEALTHY. If the Rockets were just as healthy as the magic back when they had t-mac and artest, they could have easily gone to the Finals too.
first of all you cant compare somebody who plays totaly different positions. And second of all dwight has more rebounds, blocks, and is alot more athletic than people like gaysol, and yao ming, so he can attack the paint better and faster than them. And maybe gaysol can shoot better than him, but centers dont need to shoot well, so it dosent even matter. Dwight can also defiently dunk better also.
agree....dwight gets doubled and now can kick the ball out creating for teamates n he is faster n stronger....but yao is has a nice hook and can fade away n shoot the ball in the post n can make free throws but injury prone
do you want him to do a 360 dunk? are you serious? what more does a 7ft6 center need than to be able to do the hook and fadeaway at a high clip? what arsenal does kobe have then?
i have to say, that there are REASONS t-mac and yao gets injured frequently. if i were the GM of a team i wouldn't take injury proneness out of my mind when assessing players. i need players to be on court, generating values, rather than dressed up warming the bench. but on the other hand, u gotta think objectively. this is not an ideological or racial debate --- we can save those words for ur sociology lecture, but this, is about the game. yao is owning howard, but howard owns the league.
yet... why does he need it when he is surrounded by shooters... a running shouldnt worry too much about how hard he tackles, superman shouldnt concern about his shot and continue to dominate
umm. dwight howard can not create his own shot, that is the magic's problem, that is why they lost in playoffs against celtics. yao ming can create shots, and he is a good passer, he is a great finisher, he is a great FREE THROW SHOOTER, so if he gets fouled late game? it doesn't matter, 2 points.
that does not mean that there is no solution to howard --- u either have a yao or duncan in the team, or on D u rotate, as quick as u can, and offensively u just keep the small guys' penetration going, he will foul u at some point, as "mr foul on me". do NOT shoot 3s too often, hes a guy who can really fly high to grab a rebound. bobcats executed these and resulted well, pathetic that woodson cannot learn anything from larry brown and claimed to be proud of himself being prentice of coach brown.
and Yao gets dominated by Al Jefferson everytime in the last 2 years. The last time BIg Al went against Yao, Al Jefferson had 36 points and 22 rebounds and he's only 6'9. Does that make Al better than Yao? no. Dwight is a better player than Yao but Yao outplays him because of his hight.
okay lemme get this straight, right after a game where Yao smoked dwight's ass, the media go around sellin dwight as the better player? its fine if that's what they wanna say (to make money) but honestly pick a time where ppl are not watching Yao owning dwight. and stop with the metaphysical bullshit, what presence and influence? they fucking lost the game!!
LOL... did this guy just say u cant handle howard one on one? TRY YAO... no one in the league can handle yao one on one no matter where he is... he can shoot over u... he can pop the 3... he has about a million set of post moves in which howard can only DREAM of...
@TheAnvilMan If Dwight is better than Yao, Why did Dwight Howard get his ass whooped by Yao ming? getting blocked by Yao, letting Yao score guarding him.
lol the only thing howard has over yao is the injury category. yao when healthy is beast. when yao's in half of houstons offense is to post up yao and either get a 1v1 shot or a open three. ron artest...at houston he lived off of yao post ups. 3point % drop this season cause no yao. and you people saw it in the playoffs...celtics played howard 1v1, and the magic got no open shots. lol @ perkins defending yao 1v1.
sad that yao is gone. even more sad that the injury prone greg oden and andrew bynum are the 2 that are up for grabs for 2nd best center in the league. hate how much the game has changed.
howard is easily the best center in the leauge. he dominates a game more than any other center. the thing is that yao match up better with howard than any1 else. in a one on one yao is btter than howard. but thats not the case.
Yao is the best center in the game. These dolts don't know a damn thing. If you would go to Yao to win the game for you then how can Howard be better? Wouldn't you want the ball in the hands of the better player. Make a little sense fellas, please!!
@marioTmaggot Yao got game. Howard has athletic ability.. it's tough to decide especially when the other one has pretty retired due to setbacks and injuries.
All i have to say is , that DWIGHT HOWARD shouldnt be playing the center posistion , he is too small ,,,,, even kevin garnet and tim duncan are taller than him ,,,,, and they are forwards . Imagine if t-mac , kobe , lebron or wade play the center position ,,,,,,, omg ,,,, what great center they would be dont u think ??? So dwight howard should be playing forward.
@wheredidugetthat You win some, you lose some . . . Either way Dwight > Yao . . . Dwight is the best defender in the league, Yao doesn't have that title. The most I can give to Yao is that he is a better shooter.
@be1j1ngk1ng Plays clumsy and dumb? Only still in the leauge due to his height? Are you talking about Shawn Bradley? Because Yao Ming has the best shooting touch for a man over 7'1 in NBA history, who else shoots the technical free throws for their team? The guy has such great footwork and swiftness for such big size.
@whoohoo117 Lol dude, I was only playin' . . Just wanted to see if anyone would get mad... And personally I think Vince Carter is a greater jumper than James White. At least was. . .
o yea. I'm sure the Rockets with Yao could be the Celtics with KG right! NOT! The Rockets were gonna lose with Yao on the coart ever worst if u was watch the game. THe Lakers turned the game pace up to a point that Yao wasnt abywhere as effective that he was in game 1 and turn into a turnover machine. I was watching all 7 of the game and only idiots would think The Rockets would of won with Yao on the court. that Rockets were 0-4 against the Lakers in the season with Yao
@marioTmaggot best center yao? LOL dwight would just dominate yao these days if his gonna play next season its not because hes tall his the best center already dwight can dominate almost everything score, blocks, rebounds.
@TheAnvilMan Dwight is the best defender in the league as well as the worst free throw shooter. All he does in the game is dunk, people can foul him and he misses free throws. Thats why he is not successful in playoff. For now, Dwight is better than Yao, However, Years ago Yao used to be better than Dwight.
in yao i trust come on make no sense to pick a power center over a more versatile center and the white dudes argument is that Orlando is a better 3point team because of howard thats a dumb point that point is so funny cause they cant even win a championship they became a one dimension team in my opinion you live and die by the 3 and 3 years ago they died by the 3 in the finals
"Numbers don't lie".... Lol, Jalen Rose can't even read the stats sheet. Yao got 17+15, and Dwight got 11+7...
No surprise. Jalen Rose just hates Yao and always has bias toward him .
@@111YIM hes racist for sure
yao ming will turn dwight into barbeque chicken
When both are healthy, Yao dominates Howard every time they play each other.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is the funniest joke made ma day
Yao would've been better than Hakeem if he stayed healthy and worked on his footwork
Wait, Jalen picks Howard in the head-to-head? Has he even looked at their h2h stats? Yao destroys Howard in every game they play.
i do agree 12 years later brothe
What? Yao statistically vs D12 has dominated in all the parts that count. The fuck are they talking about.
Also despite Yao not being a 4th quarter choke artist, Dwight's still a better center? Makes no damn sense.
+jerrybronham Actually, he's just too big, the lack of stamina causes him to miss more than anything else in the 4th, since he always gets injured and can't stay in shape because of it.

No way! Dwight Howard's defense makes up his lack of offense.
These guys are CRAZY!!!

Dwight is d.mutumbo. Yao man handles dwight every time they played. Yao dominated their match up. You want the ball in yao's hands in the 4th quarter!

There is only SHAQ in Yao's eyes, not the young fella
As of today its not even a question Dwight Howard is the better center by a landslide. But a healthy Yao against Dwight Howard I don't care what anyone says Yao will domintae Dwight. And it's been proven everytime they play against each other.
Yao has one of the best, if not the best, post-up moves than any other centers in his time due to his gigantic size advantage and his soft touch with the ball. His highly polished and effective turn-around jumper, hook-shot, and fade-away is an art form in itself.
People just can face reality Yao IS OFFICIALLY Retired and Howard is Healthy as can be so stop the "If he was healthy"
the rockets have to go through way more than the magic to make the playoffs. In the eastern conference, there are 2-3 monster teams, but its more of a matter of seeding, not qualifying. In western conference final, your happy with any seed u get.
i agree. howard is better all around player but yao is more efficent on the offensive end.
Title said Yao vs Superman... I immediately thought of Yao vs Shaq... come on man!! You can't take the title away from the original superman!!
"Numbers dont Lie" Nice jalen rose when yao 17 points 15 reb and Dwight is 11 points and 7 reb
if your a real basketball fan and you like all around post players with an array of post moves you pick yao ming...if you just like high flying dunks (mostly off of passes) and a more buff looking physique you pick dwight howard
Nah, Jalen was being sarcastic.
i'd say dwight howard right now but if yao ming is healthy he's by far the best center in the west hands down. He's the best in the NBA when he plays with that mean streak he's been playing with
Dwight howard is better now because his post game has improved, not as good as yao's but it has improved, Dwight is quicker faster and a higher leaper and these attributes make him better on the defensive end plus he is only going to get better, last year it was yao because he was WAY more reliable down low, but now its DH
super man wants to be the best?
beat yao first.
if you cann't beat yao ,you are not best center, simple!!!!!!!!!!
@wheredidugetthat
He's not the 'worst' free throw shooter. There's still Ben Wallace and Shaq holding those titles.

jalen rose is just saying what player he likes, he didnt even look at the fucking stats. yao forever. no one else even close
in the finals, something yao will never experience after how many year in the leauge.. say something else..
i agree, i htink dwights the better player, but yaos more offensively gifted
do you want him to do a 360 dunk? are you serious? what more does a 7ft6 center need than to be able to do the hook and fadeaway at a high clip? what arsenal does kobe have then?
i have to say, that there are REASONS t-mac and yao gets injured frequently. if i were the GM of a team i wouldn't take injury proneness out of my mind when assessing players. i need players to be on court, generating values, rather than dressed up warming the bench. but on the other hand, u gotta think objectively. this is not an ideological or racial debate --- we can save those words for ur sociology lecture, but this, is about the game. yao is owning howard, but howard owns the league.

@wheredidugetthat Dwight= draws fouls then tries to shooot freethrows
Yao=draws fouls then gets injured
Yao was better
But when Dwight plays Yao its obvious who is the better center. Yao is just too big/skilled for Dwight
that does not mean that there is no solution to howard --- u either have a yao or duncan in the team, or on D u rotate, as quick as u can, and offensively u just keep the small guys' penetration going, he will foul u at some point, as "mr foul on me". do NOT shoot 3s too often, hes a guy who can really fly high to grab a rebound. bobcats executed these and resulted well, pathetic that woodson cannot learn anything from larry brown and claimed to be proud of himself being prentice of coach brown.
thats true, but they play each other.. what? once or twice a year? all the other 80 games or so id take Howard
and Yao gets dominated by Al Jefferson everytime in the last 2 years. The last time BIg Al went against Yao, Al Jefferson had 36 points and 22 rebounds and he's only 6'9. Does that make Al better than Yao? no. Dwight is a better player than Yao but Yao outplays him because of his hight.
Dwight's defense is overrated, you need to learn how to defend one-on-one to be considered elite defensively
this is like the olajuwon saq matchup i wish yao was healthy and they would meet up in the finals with magic
yep
@danielcrem GASOL is power forward
LOL "head and shoulders above yao ming"-Tim Legler...yao ming's 7'6" dude!!!!! man
wats better scissors paper orrock. i love both players but i just think yao isa more diverse player
lot of howard haters in here . yao is tall and big thats all. and he gets in allstarts cause china got like 6billion people or somethin
okay lemme get this straight, right after a game where Yao smoked dwight's ass, the media go around sellin dwight as the better player? its fine if that's what they wanna say (to make money) but honestly pick a time where ppl are not watching Yao owning dwight. and stop with the metaphysical bullshit, what presence and influence? they fucking lost the game!!
LOL... did this guy just say u cant handle howard one on one? TRY YAO... no one in the league can handle yao one on one no matter where he is... he can shoot over u... he can pop the 3... he has about a million set of post moves in which howard can only DREAM of...
@Deadshot089 The magic had a better win total in the season and made it further in the playoffs
@TheAnvilMan If Dwight is better than Yao, Why did Dwight Howard get his ass whooped by Yao ming?
getting blocked by Yao, letting Yao score guarding him.
lol the only thing howard has over yao is the injury category.
yao when healthy is beast. when yao's in half of houstons offense is to post up yao and either get a 1v1 shot or a open three. ron artest...at houston he lived off of yao post ups. 3point % drop this season cause no yao.
and you people saw it in the playoffs...celtics played howard 1v1, and the magic got no open shots. lol @ perkins defending yao 1v1.
sad that yao is gone. even more sad that the injury prone greg oden and andrew bynum are the 2 that are up for grabs for 2nd best center in the league. hate how much the game has changed.
howard is easily the best center in the leauge. he dominates a game more than any other center. the thing is that yao match up better with howard than any1 else. in a one on one yao is btter than howard. but thats not the case.
When is healthy, he obliterates Dwight.
Yao is the best center in the game. These dolts don't know a damn thing. If you would go to Yao to win the game for you then how can Howard be better? Wouldn't you want the ball in the hands of the better player. Make a little sense fellas, please!!
@marioTmaggot Yao got game. Howard has athletic ability.. it's tough to decide especially when the other one has pretty retired due to setbacks and injuries.
yao ming is a team player. DWight is the team. Yao ming is way better center.
All i have to say is , that DWIGHT HOWARD shouldnt be playing the center posistion , he is too small ,,,,, even kevin garnet and tim duncan are taller than him ,,,,, and they are forwards .
Imagine if t-mac , kobe , lebron or wade play the center position ,,,,,,, omg ,,,, what great center they would be dont u think ???
So dwight howard should be playing forward.
@wheredidugetthat
You win some, you lose some . . .
Either way Dwight > Yao . . .
Dwight is the best defender in the league, Yao doesn't have that title.
The most I can give to Yao is that he is a better shooter.
yeah
yao is better offensively. dwight is better defensively. thats the difference.
Yao > Dwight..
If Yao is so great, then how come Vince Carter out jumped him in a jump ball?
How does that mean anything?
@be1j1ngk1ng Plays clumsy and dumb? Only still in the leauge due to his height? Are you talking about Shawn Bradley? Because Yao Ming has the best shooting touch for a man over 7'1 in NBA history, who else shoots the technical free throws for their team? The guy has such great footwork and swiftness for such big size.
well houston was the ONLY team to take the Lakers aka The NBA Champions to seven games compared to the magic who lost in 5
too bad yao cnt get in the hall of fame, i think u need to be at least 10 yrs in the league minimum
But you all don't understand D12 GOT BETTER AND YAO HAS HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THAN D12
did u guys see the houston orlando game days b4?
ownage xD
true
@TheAwesomecheeseman
Dwight=worst free throw shooter, no use in playoff,
Yao= best free throw shooter for centre.
@whoohoo117
Lol dude, I was only playin' . .
Just wanted to see if anyone would get mad...
And personally I think Vince Carter is a greater jumper than James White. At least was. . .
dwight howard. Yao aint got shit on howard. yao's vert is like a 2nd grader.
o yea. I'm sure the Rockets with Yao could be the Celtics with KG right! NOT! The Rockets were gonna lose with Yao on the coart ever worst if u was watch the game. THe Lakers turned the game pace up to a point that Yao wasnt abywhere as effective that he was in game 1 and turn into a turnover machine. I was watching all 7 of the game and only idiots would think The Rockets would of won with Yao on the court. that Rockets were 0-4 against the Lakers in the season with Yao
YAO > D.HOWARD
Yao is out for an entire year. Give me Howard ANYDAY of the week....
@marioTmaggot best center yao? LOL dwight would just dominate yao these days if his gonna play next season its not because hes tall his the best center already dwight can dominate almost everything score, blocks, rebounds.
dwight is to much of a beast
@marioTmaggot i completely agree
@TheAnvilMan
Dwight is the best defender in the league as well as the worst free throw shooter.
All he does in the game is dunk, people can foul him and he misses free throws.
Thats why he is not successful in playoff. For now, Dwight is better than Yao,
However, Years ago Yao used to be better than Dwight.
in yao i trust
come on make no sense
to pick a power center over a more versatile center
and the white dudes argument is that Orlando is a better 3point team because of howard thats a dumb point
that point is so funny cause they cant even win a championship they became a one dimension team in my opinion you live and die by the 3 and 3 years ago they died by the 3 in the finals
