I don't get why we're even talking about Olajuwon in his current form - that's like asking if I'd like Jim Brown or Barry Sanders over Adrian Peterson.

No question that Olajuwon in his prime is the better of the two. All-time leading shot blocker. Great scorer. Got teammates involved. Vastly underrated player, IMO. One of the best players I've ever seen. Easily a better center than Shaq or anyone else who isn't Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, or Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

I know you would Mr. Dolan. But then again, decisions like that are why the Knicks are as relevant to the NBA as the set shot.

Chandler and Howard are not that different, to be honest! Both are 7 footers with no offensive moves to the hoop! They are typical of the big men of this era!

Um, say what?

You just compared an 18-13 guy to a guy that is averaging under 8-8? I mean...dear god man.

Really. At what point to the Dwight haters just form a support group? We really seem to need an intervention.....
