One key difference As every season passes and every Howard blocked shot is rejected into the stands, the more I believe this bold statement made last season by Orlando Magic TV commentator Matt Guokas. Russell was legendary for directing his blocks to outlets. |

Why do people make bold claims? For attention. Looks like this idiot is going to get some from Celtics fans, unfortunately.

It amazes me how some people can write about basketball and be such blatant homers, or simply not know anything about the game.
I stopped reading after the first sentence, literally.
Does this guy really believe what he is writing.
Dwight is a great defensive player, but probably isn't in the top 5 defensive bigs in the last 20 years.
KG, Hakeem and Duncan are light years ahead of him IMHO. Then there is Mutombo and Ben Wallace who I'd put ahead of him still. I'm sure if I delve deeper I can probably find others.
Nobody is in the discussion of Bill Russell, however.

I just think this guy has visited this Blog and saw our reactions to that Hollinger column a few days ago....maybe in his mind he believes his article to be true, but realistically I just think he's trying to get a rise out of us.
I'd love for him to visit and try to debate the article.

Way to jinx Dwight the night before an elimination game, guy.
Hey, Dwight: no pressure.

I was walking along the road with two friends
the sun was setting
suddenly the sky turned blood red
I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence
there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city
my friends walked on and I stood there trembling with anxiety
and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature.

This guy really hinges on what Matt Goukas says, huh?
He also glosses over the claim that 35% or so more available rebounds explains Russell getting about 70% more rebounds than DH. |

Don Mattingly from 1983 would've out-hit Babe Ruth from 1923: Truth. Babe Ruth would've never been in the majors at his physical condition, even during his prime, in 1983: Truth. If Don Mattingly had lived in 1923, he would've never had the medical, training, conditioning, and pharmaceutical benefits he had in 1983: Truth You cannot just transplant a player to a legend that played 40 years ago and pretend they're on even footing. In reality, you can only compare one player's dominance in his era against another player's dominance in his own era: Truth. In that comparison, Dwight Howard cannot hold Bill Russell's jock: Truth. |

This guy was one of the best hitters in baseball:  ... and this guy is one of the best mashers in the game:  Babe says he would have been just fine, thank you.  |
