Chris Bosh is the RuPaul of big men? I saw that and couldn't stop laughing whenever I thought of it all day. We need to appreciate Shaq for what he is because there probably won't be anyone like him again.

Then it's game over for Dwight, Shaq is still the most physically imposing, biggest, strongest player in the NBA. If the Refs gave them both the freedom to operate in the post, banging bodies, elbow swipes, holds and pushes then I don't see a 270 lb Howard be able to contain a motivated 350 lb giant of human being.

What is Dwights record against Phoenix since he entered the NBA? 1-8 Or something like that?

Shaq says he has done everything Howard has done and better, but the numbers don't agree. Howard is a better rebounder. No question, and he is a better defender.

Shaq had some all-defensive team placements mid-career.

Also, let's not overestimate Howard's man defense, he's awesome at blocking shots from the weakside but I wouldn't call him a truly great post defender just yet.

I just hope the refs dont favor Radio Shaq over Dwight, If they do, then Dwight will probably be on the bench within the first 3 minutes.
