The definitive ranking of the best players in the NBA today…
Look in the sky. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s the Superman Dwight Howard Action Doll by SLAMco.
Faster than a speeding (Washington) Bullet. Stronger than a (Shaq Diesel) locomotive (well, maybe not quite). Able to leap tall defenders in a single bound. Truly a man of steel (never missed a game
throughout his four-year NBA career), Dwight Howard is the new poster child for NBA centers, making lumbering, immobile centers a thing of the past. And now, thanks to SLAMco’s limited time offer, he can be yours.
Owners of the original SLAMco NBA Superman Action Doll, the Shaquille O’Neal model, will be glad to know this one is new and improved. After complaints of children drowning in the amount of sweat produced by the O’Neal doll, Howard is relatively sweat-free! Plus, instead of spewing Kobe-hating rap lyrics and performing obscene phone calls like O’Neal, the Dwight Howard edition recites the Bible! Additionally, he is capable of hitting free throws (kinda, sorta)!
Still not sold on the dominance of Dwight Howard and your need for the SLAMco Superman Dwight Howard Action Doll? Despite only playing four years in the League, and not blowing out the candles on his 23rd birthday cake until December, Howard led the NBA in total rebounds three times, made the All-NBA and All-Star teams twice, and won a gold medal this summer in Beijing. And at 6-11, he is the tallest cat to win the Slam Dunk contest. With a still developing offensive game (his points per game has increased every year he has played) and intimidating shot-blocking skills, Howard is the complete package.
Better still, this superhero doesn’t just feast off the small and weak of the League. Against his top two opponents for the NBA’s top center crown last season, Yao Ming and Amare Stoudemire, Super Dwight averaged 25 points, 15 boards and 1.8 blocks per. Now is that superhuman or what!
So kids get out there and purchase your very own SLAMco Superman Dwight Howard Action Doll, for only $19.99. Considering the real Dwight Howard costs almost $14 million a year, you save over 13 million dollars! Doll comes with Orlando Magic uniform, Superman Slam Dunk contest outfit and Dwight’s ever-present muscle-hugging white undershirt. And if you order now, as a special bonus SLAMco will throw in Orlando’s J.J. Redick at no additional charge! No, not a J.J. Redick Action Doll, the real J.J. Redick! Barely used, almost brand new! So order your SLAMco Superman Dwight Howard Action Doll today while supplies last. Phone booth sold separately.

30 something at least
Imagine if Dwight were in place of Amare?
And no, Andrew Bynum does not belong in the same conversation as D12.
Yet.
4 kg
5 dwade
6 amare
7 duncan
8 dirk
9 nash
10 williams
…
howard
iverson
melo
boozer
i wonder how you missed my age though??….(22,you were close)
That’s just my opinion, why the hate?
I think Dwight is good but he’s not top 10.
Amare is more like in the top 10
The Pierce hatred on this bored is pretty lame. And Dwight Howards is not close to a young Shaq. He’s good, but a young Shaq was better.
TAD, I get what you’re saying in that they received the same kind of criticism. The difference is that in Dwight’s case, it’s warranted. Comparing them is implicitly saying that Dwight is kinda close to a young Shaq. He’s not. The argument about no one stopping him from dunking is pointless. I do not care if you dunk the ball 4-5 times a game if that means that you score around 18.
Allenp: True about Lakers, Blazers. That is crazy talk that the C’s would’t take Dwight over Perkins. Are you serious??
Are you serious?
Good to know.
Word, mine too. I’m done with this excercise for now.
Good day sir.
Allenp, a wise man once said don’t argue with fools because people, from a distance, can’t tell who is who.
Players should:
- Be a major contributor in as many ways as possible to a team.
- Be a proven ‘winner’!
- Have statistics to back it up.
the only things his game is lacking is consistent post moves and a decent mid-range jumper
no post moves, yet. camps out under the basket. no finger roll (let alone a J). But..discounting the other areas of his game is just dumb.
his motor is crazy. dude’s rebound ability alone may justify this high a ranking. the L is overflowing w/20 point scorers…most games are won/lost on the glass.
Quote of the damn day!
the whole argument about who would take the last shot would have excluded Shaq in his prime from this list.
That would not have been good.
But, since I’m a joe johnson fan, I can’t complain about putting him on that level. Joe was killing Boston in Atlanta.
Well then Vince is the best in the league.
BET, writing never makes sense when you don’t read it completely/carefully. There’s a reason why I added the word “overpaid”. The Rockets didn’t pull a desperate move like that in acquiring Tmac or Ron. Both moves were more than reasonable.” You talk about money wasting, lets not forget your Rockets gave STROMILE SWIFT a giant contract. The Stro Show? Talk about one dimensonal. TMAC not a desperation move? Are you kidding me! Ron Ron not a desperation move? You are delivring me some stand up comedy right now or something? Since nobody gives 1/2 a sh!t about the Magic, i guess i will play devil’s advocate. Regular Season: Rockets>Magic Post Season: Magic>Rockets.
Interesting….
Dirk should have been in the top 10.
But that was a crackish statement.
If you truly believe Hedo has more offensive game then Artest, you’ve never actually watched Artest play for a long period of time. Hell, just check out their career numbers.
And he’s better than everybody on the Magic bench. You’re reaching BETCATS. I thought you had a good argument that RV was reaching when he said the Magic signed Rashard to hide Dwight’s flaws, but now you’re going crazy saying the Magic are better than Houston.
The Magic are a good team. Dwight is better than Yao. But, Houston is the better overall team top to bottom.
Also BET: Okay, have the Magic play the Utah Jazz in the first round, then see if they ‘jell’ as well.
BETCATS article= Sh!t
hahahahahah

8. Paul Pierce
7. Steve Nash
6. Amare Stoudemire
5. D-Wade
4. KG
3. Chris Paul
2. Kobe Bryant
1. LeBron James
Dwight does not deserve to be this high just yet.
If Timmy gets a worse ranking than Amare or PP, then I’m boycotting Slamonline for one month just to detox myself.
watch your words on this forum young man….
Another gem from Gaz. Personal vendetta maybe?”
No, Ga(y)z just hates me for no reason. It just started hating on me out of nowhere and i said it wasnt worth responding to. Then Ga(y)z got mad(er).
So I’ll watch my words if you watch that game without your ‘dunking’ blinkers on.
McCain > BETCATS
Hillary Clinton’s dog > BETCATS
Hillary Clinton’s dog’ sh1t > BETCATS
I dunno how you thought that hilarious piece of work up. Your brain is just a comedic maze.
Stale urine > BETCATS
Darksaber > BETCATS
He has alot of potential to be an All-Star for many years to come.
Definately HOF material, reminds me alot of David Robinson. Possibly can become even better than he was.
