How do you rank these two players? Who you got higher on your all time list? Who was the better player?

I think their peaks are in the same category of weak-ish MVP level players, but Dwight has significantly longer and more valuable career.

I think I would take Reed for one year though for many reasons, some of which are off-court related.

What off court problems did Dwight Howard have in 2009?

Nothing specific, I am talking more about his overall attitude. It's not only about Dwight being problematic, but also Reed being a big intangibles guy.
