Ewing had lost a bit athletically by 1994, but I would say he was still closer to Hakeem than 09 Dwight was to LeBron.

Dwight's 09 is 2nd to Lebron in RPAM. Ewing is not the same player post injury in the '90. He wasn't the same athletically.

He became much smarter defender though.

At the time Lebron/Dwight. Hakeem vs Ewing vs Robinson was virtually a pick em until Hakeem got thru.

I always felt like Ewing could have won that season, if not for Starks.

I always felt like Dwight Howard could have won that season, if not for Dwight Howard.

So easy answer: bigger gap between Stupidman and LBJ than our 90s Clash of the (Centers) Titans.
