The Great Debate: Dwight or LeBron?

Hard to choose: “If you had to start a franchise, would you take Magic all-star center Dwight Howard, 23, or the Cavs all-star small forward LeBron James, 24? ‘Uh, oh, wow. … I played with Shaq, but that’s a tough one,’ said former NBA veteran Dennis Scott. ‘I would, um, go with…’”

    not to mention the fact that he almost singlehandedly took out the celts in the playoffs last year – at age 23! if celts didn’t have home court advantage, they would have lost for sure.

    Dennis Scott would take whoever shoots freethrows worse than him. So neither.

    Its not even a debate, you would take LeBron if you had a brain. Ill give a few examples why
    Lebron = Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Dr. J – caliber Dwight = Shaq (never won a title without a top flight wing) Wilt- Only won 2 rings but played in the Russel era, but still needed great wings to succeed) although the same can be said about Bird, Magic, and Jordan you can also say that those three made their teammates great…can’t say that about shaq and wilt.

    Dwight. It’s rare now these days to find a center as talented as he is.

    Bron can handle da rock and make shots outside of the paint and can post up smalls and hit free throws and he can handle the da celtics

    Its a very hard decision, both are not even in there prime years and there playing like legends. I say Lebron is better than dwight howard. Dwight’s size is tremendous but he has limited range shooting. If he works on his free throws he’l be unstopable. If lebron can make his three’s around 80 percent instead of 65. Look for him to break wilt chamberlins record. Superman still a beast but u can’t deny the chosen one.
