Lebron James, and I hate him. You don't find a guy of his talent, EVER. He's almost as tall as Howard for god sakes.

Disagree 100%.... Lebron is the guy id take and its not even close. He averages 30, 7, and 8. Has already taken a team with nobody that was really helping him to the NBA Finals.

Howard cant take over a game like Lebron can. Lebron is the easy answer

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
Basically it's as simple as this. Who would you rather have.
Magic or Wilt? or Hakeem?
I'd take LBJ and I'd take Magic. Lebron's size gives him a huge advantage in this question.

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
Howard has 30 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 blocks. Not sure what your definition of taking over the game is but that's taking over the game.

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
Problem I have with taking a center is that you need someone to get him the ball. He can't do it on his own. Lebron has the ball in his hands more and that means his impact is slightly bigger, IMO. They're both great players and I'd take either one, but I have to say I'd take the guy who can play 4 different positions.

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
Lebron like Magic, Bird etc make their teammates better. They control the game. All the games....their passing is what separates them.

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
Getting pretty damn close. How many guys in the history of the NBA have had 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 blocks in a game? If you don't consider that dominant than you are a lost cause.

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
Exactly right. Lebron has nice stats but big men get rings.

Lebron is the closest thing to MJ.... MJ didnt have dominant big men. Lebron WILL win multiple titles with or WITHOUT a dominant big man. That is a guarentee

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
you list all the premier scorers like lebron and list their other stats
then you list all the premier centers like howard and compare their other stats
i think howard is a much harder person to find in today's age...

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
MJ was great but also had a ton of All-Stars on that roster doing the small things. Rodman was great on defense and rebounding, Pippen was a top scorer, Horace Grant was good on both sides of the ball...
Those teams were loaded.

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
Kobe Bryant is a lot closer to MJ.. Kobe Bryant is a poor mans MJ, Lebron is a different kind of player..

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
In modern basketball, no Big man has gotten a ring with out a great guard or wing man. In modern basketball a guard has gotten 6 titles with out a big man.
Duncan is the closest one but the next two best players on his team were Parker and Ginoboli.

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
OK I'm changing my opinion. I can't agree with someone who says this.
:+clueless
Lebron isn't clutch, doesn't make free throws late and can't hit a big jumper with the game on the line.
Mike was the clutchest of all time, made every big free throw and never missed a big jumper.
Jordan was one of the best defensive guards in the history of the league, Lebron only plays defense when he wants to.
I guess I'm failing to see the similarities. He also plays nothing like Michael did.
Kobe is the closest thing to Michael and Wade follows him. Wade has taken over a finals and won it for his team. Kobe has won rings and been incredibly clutch while doing so.

Re: Lebron James or Dwight Howard....
i didnt mean playing style. obviously Kobe is closer when it comes to that. I am saying taking over a game, and if you need to score. Give me Lebron, hes 250 lbs and can get to the rim like nobody else
