    I see the Parsons-Turkoglu one. Beverley-Alston also kind of works as far as long-armed smart PGs go, though Beverley has so far been better in most ways-- better shooter, a floater that doesn't cause a collective moan, and more athletic defender.

    Harden and Lee are nothing alike. Same goes with Lin and (the rather, er, unique looking) Anthony Johnson.

    If I was any of Dwight's Houston teammates, I'd be insulted by every single one of these comparisons.

    without Howard that team would have been a lottery team, with Howard they went to the Finals when they peaked. Shows you how much a dominant center can improve a team

    Forgot how beastly Howard looked in his Orlando days from that pic. He looks like a gym rat that lost a bit of his motivation since. Still the best center in the game by far and a specimen, just a bit less jacked.

    Sorry Dwight you're wrong. This supporting cast would have won you a ring.

    That's the first thing I noticed as well, but tbh, I think it might just be the Rockets' uniform... Those things are not so.... aesthetically pleasing; no wonder 2Pat rolled up the sleeves to his upper traps.

    I'd like to know if he still has the same PR in the speed and strength exercises; but if he's shown that working with Hakeem has taken his game to another level, then whatevers.

    In what world can James Harden be compared to Courtney Lee? Only thing I can think of is if Courtney Lee is also a connoisseur of gentleman's clubs and big booty video hoes, because there is no comparison on the basketball court. Dwight must have been drunk...

    Oh yeah also, in before "DH compared Lin to their starting PG!! He probably agrees McHale should be fired for expirementing with bringing Lin off the bench in preseason!"

    Yeah I'm not worried at all. I thought with proper training camp + 1 year of experience together that we would get a 4seed+ before grabbing Dwight. Now I think we are a lot better than people are predicting. Even if we get Lakers Dwight I am thrilled. Can't wait for the season to start!!
