Tmac and Yao were way better than Howard and Harden.

    Yao had a golden era, where he wasn't so heavy set but not newb, where he was lighter and more agile enough to run the transition plays and even finished the fast break or grabbed the offensive rebound off the initial attempt. Just a great time and much better than the slow half court game.

    So I guess the question is who sucks less? Tmac was injury prone and didn't get to the WCF. Harden just did. Yao vs Howard is just too depressing of a subject. Too bad we aren't comparing big 3's and just two players that Les was willing to pay for.

    I admit both Harden and Dwight have better numbers and went further in the playoffs.

    I still believe Yao could dominate Howard 1 on 1 and Mac would dominate Harden 1 on 1

    when everybody is healthy and in their young prime.

    I can agree with this.

    Although we should level the playing field and give MerGady a full beard or take away Harden's beard.

    Harden is so great and that much of an amazing leader, he would've won the championship with the mid 2k Rockets and made co-mvp with Moochie Norris and Luther Head.
