    We all know DH 12 is the best Center in the league , when Yao played.... some people would argue Yao is better . But c'mon we all know Yao stays as healthy as i invite supermodels to my bedroom on a regular basis.

    Anyways THIS IS NOT A DH12/YAO DEBATE !!!

    DH12 stats this year are showing him entering a level we have never seen from the already elite player that he is currently .
    This season stats:
    23.3 pts , 13.9 rebs

    Last 4 games is showing a level which is scary for rest of the league , the only "weakness" in his game was his FT Shooting %. Look at his last 4 games .WoW

    No Kendrick Perkins in the east , he left for the West . The only team that gave "fits" was Boston cuz of Perkins .

    His game against the Lakers is impressive. The last 3, though, have been against really weak front lines.

    dwight has really impressed me. usually he starts out the season on fire, then slows down as the season progresses.

    this year, he's getting better month by month, putting up better #s. hopefully his teammates can pick it up b/c maybe dwight has finally figured out that he needs to dominate offensively for them to win.

    i can finally put him in my top 5 player now for this year:

    1) lebron
    2) dwight
    3) wade
    4) rose
    5) kobe

    Dwight has been ridiculous. His game against the Thunder was amazing.

    Then of course this block last game-

    Everytime Dwight played Yao, Yao would eat him alive.

    I agree with this. Sad to see what has happened to Yao, he really seems like a hard-working guy.

    But that being said, you gotta like what Dwight has become. He is a better player than the days when Yao was owning him. He has been working hard and is currently the undisputed best center in the league (one of the few true centers in this league).

    Dwights a likeable guy and no doubt is showing this year he can bring more to the table than just making the plays with his overwhelming athleticism. He seems to be developing a better all around offensive game and is playing smarter on defense too.....BUT the guy is still a total goofball. I wish he had a mean streak or more focus(maybe that will come with age) because it would worry me as a caoch, a fan, and a player if I looked over and saw my star taking a breather on the bench in the middle of a close game and cutting up with fans and teammates on the sidelines. He doesn't have to be Kobe intense but sometimes I feel like he mind as well have his face painted, be wearing huge colorful shoes, and have a flower that squirts water.

    Dwight is becoming a beast. I am really suprised by how GREAT he has got since last season.

    He attacks the double team now. He plays like a man, not like a child.

    And actually I am amazed by his post up moves. Good to see that.

    The Magic are trending down, not up. According to their record, lots of teams have given them fits. The worse the Magic are, the better Howard will play. That's the rule for all superstars, but yeah, it's good to see Howard step up to the plate regardless.

    Geez... if Kevin Love is a center...

    But yeah, when Yao is down, DH12 is now officially the best center in NBA and I like the fact that he really improved his post-up moves not like many others (me included) predicted that he will just be another freakish athletic center without real basketball skills a.k.a. Shaq.

    I think I start to like this kid.
