and howard isn't playing like a legend???? LMAO, because guys do 20 and 15 and shoot 60% reguarly right??? fixed. and owned. and frankly neither howard or lebron are playing like MVPS and neither of them are going to win it this year either. so talking about them as mvps is stupid.


:rofl: :rofl: So because you say owned it means the thread is over??? The difference is LeBron isn't pulling doing a bastardized verson of what those guys did. Wilt averaged more rebounds, more points, more assists, and better efficiency. LeBron is arguably playing better than anyone else, adjusted for pace, than every one of those guys except Jordan, and he's doing it with a lot less help than Howard. Thanks for playing though.

LeBron in all likelyhood will win MVP if he keeps playing at his current level. There's just nobody in the NBA who can touch what he's doing right now.

Yeah, I'd laugh if someone said Anthony is on the same level as LeBron also. He's roughly 1.4x Anthony, but it's still not enough to make up for Howard being 5x Bynum.

Two on Two Howard/Anthony would win. Howard would score every time Anthony manages to get him the ball.

As for which tandem is better, or which i'd rather have on an organized 5on5 team playing my 3 and 5, obviously LeBron/Bynum. the difference between LeBron and Melo is just too huge.

So you believe that the gap between Howard and Bynum is smaller than the gap between Melo and Lebron's playmaking skills? Because that's really the only area where there's a glaring difference. In other parts of their games they're equal more or less.

thanks for playing? haha so what??? wilt makes every player inferior to him statistically. to even be remotely comparable to wilt statistically is impressive. and i never said howard is better than lebron but you tried to make howards performance seem like it is a casual thing compared to lebron. you do know he is the first person to pull down 20/15 since moses malone. nearly 25 years ago. and if you throw in the fact howard is scoring at 60% from the field he is the first person to do it since wilt in 1966-67. and whats your point of lebron doing it with lesser talent than howard? all that means is lebrons stats are basically more inflated than howards. but what lebron is doing is impressive too but howard is also putting up amazing numbers. and i promise you lebron won't win mvp this year. his record isn't even close to being that of an mvp. he would have to go 30-14 the rest of the season just to get to 50 wins. and only once has a player ever won mvp with 50 wins. and the fact the majority of people don't even think cleveland is a contender pretty much throws his mvp chances out the door.

It's not even remotely close to Wilt. Hence the bastardized version. The mere fact that LeBron is already on par with Jordan(not as good but close) illustrates just how far ahead of Howard he is. Call me when Dwight gets a garbage team into the finals. Until then consider my participation in this thread finished.

did you not hear me? i said howard is doing something that only wilt did. of course it is a "bastardized version". wilts statistics make what lebron is doing look "bastardized." lol. lebron got a "garbage" team to the finals by beating the nets and wiz(w/o arenas and butler) and a miracle performance against the pistons and then he played like ****, and got swept by the spurs. good job! here is a pat on the back you just made it to the finals in the east and got swept. come on! you are ridiculous. everyone thinks his finals apperance was a fluke. lebron is probably the most over hyped player ever. people (like you) already try to put him on the same level as jordan and he isn't even close. his defense isn't even remotely close, his killer instinct isn't there, his shooting isn't there, his FT% isn't there, and his clutch play def isn't there. lebron, is better than dwight, but only by a very small amount.
