Well, Howard has obviously been the better player up to this point.

I love what Bynum has done this season, but I'd still rather have Howard if I could pick between the two just because he's better. Pretty comfortable with Bynum being on the team though.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Dwight is the best right now... But he relies heavily on his athleticism and isn't as skilled as Bynum. But how long can his astounding athleticism hold up?

This back thing could be nothing, or it could be a complete game changer for him. Steve Nash plays with a back problem, but his game is all about skill. There aren't too many big men that play through back problems and are as effective as they used to be.

So I think it's fair to say Dwight is better than Bynum, but we should see how next season goes... For both of them.

these are some dumb stats..

Kobe has career high in 3 point makes.. You wouldn't take him over Ray Allen in a 3 point contest.
Brandon Jennings has a career high of 55, but who'd take him over Chris Paul's 43.

I may take some heat for saying this. But I wouldn't take Kobe over Jordan.

But I would take an on fire Kobe vs. an on fire Jordan. When Kobe is on fire his heat burns the hottest. That is what career high stats compare. On fire vs. on fire. And I would take an on fire Kobe vs. an on fire Allen. Kobe didn't miss during the game until he sat and lost his grove. Wasn't Kobe 12-12 from downtown before the last few minuts. FIRE BURN SMOKE DETECTORS GOING OFF OWWWWW THATS HEAT. Ray Ray has never gone 12-12.
Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!

Bynum is clearly the best big man in the game right now.

Since WHEN? Based on WHAT? Dwight Howard is probably one of top 5 annoying athletes ever but in nowhere has Bynum proven he is better than Dwight Howard. Bynum does ONE single thing better than Howard and that is that he has a more polished offensive repertoire. This at times means nothing when Bynum isnt used to dealing with a double team and has been ineffective at times. Now I will say Bynum is trending up fast but even the most die hard Laker fan cannot be honest and say that Bynum is better. He doesnt rebound better, score as many points and isnt even close to the defensive force Howard is. You switch out Howard for Bynum this year alone before the SVG drama and Orlando would be an 8th seeded team at best.
