    Shaq or Dwight Howard. The 2 went head to head last night, Howard had 22 points 16 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocked shots, Shaq daddy had 20 points, 5 boards, 1 assist, and 2 blocked shots. Howard played 43 minutes, Shaq played 31 minutes.

    Dwight Howard is a good player and is and will continue to be a superstar in this league. But Shaq will always be Superman, sorry Dwight, you aren't superman, you never will be superman. Shaq in his prime would have eaten Howard alive.

    Pretty unfair considering Howard isn't in his prime yet.

    Howard at 24 very close to or maybe slightly > Shaq at 24.

    Either way, Shaq needs to get over it. Howard has always said he chose the nickname to honor O'Neal. Not sure why he has always had his panties in a wad about it.

    Would it matter if he was? Shaq in his prime is still > than Howard will be in his.

    Strongly disagree. Although Howard has his moments, no way he dominates like Shaq did at that age. Not even close.

    Seriously? Shaq was way more dominant/unstoppable at 24 yrs old. You are comparing Dwight Howard to the most dominant player in the history of the NBA.

    I'll take Shaq in his prime any day. Imagine if Shaq could have made free throws.

    Howard isn't even the best playmaker on his team. Shaq has always dominated at every level up until his later years

    in the big picture howard isn't a pimple on shaq's ass...


    howard at 24 can barely outplay shaq right now who's about 8 years past his prime...
