I think Howard deserved to be on the first team. His team finished the season with a better record, and the fact he was DPOY carries significant weight into the discussion.

Yao basically owned Howard in the regular season as i remember it. But then he had a lot of embarrassing moments too, which caused a lot of damage. and magic LOOKED like a better team for sure.

4 out of 15 from the East. HAHA just like it should be.

Melo should be higher up. He's quietly having a great season with billups there. He's getting more set shots than having to create off the dribble. There's a reason why good PG's make a team sooo much better.

Dwight is a much better defender and rebounder. People are actually intimidated by him. He runs the floor better and is a much smoother all around player. Yao is a better shooter. But i take dwight over yao any day of the week.

That's simply an ignorant statement to make. This regular season swayed me 100% to put Dwight over Yao, but the playoffs have made me re-consider because Dwight Howard isn't a legitimate go-to offensive threat at this point in his career (yet). Yao commands triple teams and forces the opposition to map their entire defensive scheme around HIM; the same can't be said for Dwight Howard (once again, not yet). And don't delude yourselves about their defensive capabilities. Dwight is a better shot blocker for sure, but Yao is a very good man to man defender. Oh, and don't forget that Yao has sealed countless games for us in these playoffs with his phenomenal free-throw shooting...once again, the same can not be said for Dwight Howard.

EDIT: Refutation aside, I still think Dwight Howard deserved to make the 1st team over Yao.
