If you notice in the second link. Dwight blocked Yaos *** 3 times in the allstar game.

Dwight is more versatile period.

Can't play good D vs. yao my ***.

Your link didn't really prove anything.

In fact I couldn't watch your "proof" for more than 3 mins.

I got bored and came to the conclusion that the back court of Houston is good based off the "highlights of Yao".

Answer 4

nah..i think dwight is better

Answer 5

dude....this is like asking who'd win a 2 on 2 kobe and lebron or tamone and pumba.  of course its dwight howard. he is strong athletic and will use yao as chopsticks.  yao is only good because of his height .

Answer 6

true its just one game but that is not a good match up... yao is a tall skinny and dwight is built and versatile  ... if i would pick some1 to be on my team it would be dwight he is a better all round player.. but if u lookin for height on a team go wit Yoa

Answer 7

Yao. Theres just no replacement for displacement... and Yao isnt called the great wall of china for nothing... hes just a huge presence... no one towers over him.

Dwight is a great player no doubt... but his game is mainly athleticism... anyone who would have his perfectly built body would be able to fly too...

Dwight can jump high... really high.. but Yao doesnt even have to jump to be high.. he just sticks his hand up..

at 6ft10inches dwight would CAN play center but is BETTER as a power foward....

IMAGINE Yao at Center and Dwight at Power foward? at that point u just need people who can take open shots for the rest of the team.

Answer 8

i'll go for YAO! size matters.

Answer 9

its just one game

Answer 10

Dwight, way too much upside and can grab so many rebounds, he needs a little better foot work and needs to work on his shot but I would take Howard over Yao any day, don't get me wrong, Yao is talented but very slow and just isn't as athletic as Dwight

Answer 11

Dwight

Answer 12

many would say dwight...and they already have but this depends on one question. do you wanna win now or later?

if i wanna win a championship now and had to pick between these two, i would take yao for a couple of reasons. he is more polished, has more moves in the post, can hit free throws, doesnt need to dunk to score.

of course if i wanna win in the future, i would take dwight because he is younger and has more upside.

but as of now. Yao > Dwight

Answer 13

Yao

For One, Yao Ming just destroys Dwight Howard when they go up head to head and play each other, here are the stats.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...1...

So as you see

Yao Ming's Averages against Dwight Howard in his Career are:

24.3 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 1.1 APG, 2.3 BPG, 55% FG,

Dwight Howard's Averages against Yao in his career are

12.0 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 0.9 APG, 1.4 BPG, 44% FG

So as you see, Dwight struggles very often against Yao Ming, and Yao doubles Dwight's averages in points and blocks and is a much better passer and a shooter/scorer.

-I'd now also like to mention that Yao has much much much more skill than Dwight will probably ever have in his entire career, Yao can be relied on in the high post or low post, Dwight? Not so much, I def would not trust his passing ability or his shooting ability to play in the high post... Yao you can def trust him on there because he can do either one and he is very good and underrated at passing. Yao can carry a team w/ his FTs, you will never see Howard take the tech FT

-Howard is more Athletic, while Yao is more Fundamental.

-Howard is a better Overall defender- Yao is better One one One

Now i'd like to mention the +/- of the defense of Yao and Dwight

http://www.82games.com/0708/07HOU21D.HTM

http://www.82games.com/0708/07ORL16D.HTM

When Yao is off the court they are -0.8 Net which means they are worse with him off the court

and for Dwight when he is off the court they are +3.4 net which means they are better w/o him on the court.

Now i'd also like to mention more of the offense, as you see

Yao attempts 48% Jumpers and makes it 38% of the time, shoots 39% close shots and makes it 55% of the time

For Dwight, he attempts 16% jumpers and makes it 24% of the time which is very low and when he shoots 52% close shots and makes it only 52% of the time, close shots are usually like 5 ft and within or maybe 6 ft, but as you see Yao is a better finisher when it comes to layups and creating his own shots which shows that Yao is a better scorer by alot

Now here are the clutch stats

http://www.82games.com/0708/07HOU21E.HTM

http://www.82games.com/0708/07ORL16E.HTM

Yao scores 36.8 PPG per48 minute in clutch time which are usually 4th quarter or OT which is very good, he also has a better rebounding rate then dwight in the clutch

Dwight scores, 13.8 PPG per48 minute in the clutch so his stats are clearly non-existent, so as you see Yao is also a much more clutch player than Dwight Howard is.

So as you see Yao > Dwight
