Ok, so you’re giving me permission to return to being a racist after I go get educated?

That’s thoughtful.

Ryan- You need to take a break from being a racist and go learn for a couple years about basketball and than come back and write a blog.

Dwight Howard is as highly regarded as he is because he’s so fit and powerful and agile…

his skills haven’t caught up yet.

Bynum might not be the athlete, but has the needed skills already.

Both could be great… Howard is just one dimensional

He’s a dud until proven otherwise…

that’s how it usually goes

Olowokandi is not white

As of recently, American white centers have flopped.

Plus the analysis reminds me of what was being said about Darko

So Dwight Howard is a good player and Bynum is a great player or will be? Just asking so I can gauge how much or little you know about basketball. Right now I’m going with little.

This is a somewhat races article. If someone wrote “this guy cant be a football star because he is a black QB”, I’d be going off and someone white should go off abou this.

Besides…..I live about 3 blocks from B.J. and in my book he is a star until proven otherwise.

Besides your ineptitude of spelling names correctly, you also have no idea of the recent history of this.

Sorry to break it to you but what I stated is just a fact. Many of these up and coming centers are getting so much attention for no real reason besides their flashy nature and whatnot. They aren’t panning out as of late.

Dwight Howard is a good player, but still cannot shoot a lick from the charity stripe, nor can he even control a game from the offense end, unless, of course, he’s dunking the ball.

Andrew Bynum is the best young center out there right now. He has total ball skills and will end up being a more complete player than Howard.

For all I know Mullens will set the NBA on fire in two years, but I’ve seen this kind of thing before and am not willing to jump on the bandwagon of a guy who is flashy and can shoot the ball well, hell, anybody with an ounce of skill should be able to dominate high schoolers a half a foot shorter.

I believe Joe Alexander will be very good, it’s not a race thing, it’s a positional thing. It’s predictable.

Boy, what a terrible post.

BJ is a phony because he is white? You sir, are an idiot.

Regardless of race, there has not been a 7 foot basketball player with as much skill and athleticism since Dwight Howard.

He is more offensively skilled than Oden, much bigger than Love, Horford or Handsborough, and more athletic than Chandler, Mimm or Bogut.

To associate him with Wil Purdue and George Muresian because he is white is idiotic. His game is nothing like their games. You either have never seen him play and are prejudice against white players or you are absolutely clueless when it comes to evaluating basketball talent.

Either way, it makes for an ignorant article.

Get a clue you fool.
