We Major Wednesdays: Dwight Howard - The Best Player In The L!?

SOHH, I was talking to my boy yesterday and dude said flat out, "Dwight Howard is the best player in the L!"

To that I say...EASY!

Listen, I ain't stupid. Dwight Howard is having a helluva season.

The 6-11 power forward-center has been playing like a man possessed in the paint this season. I mean, come on, he's averaging 23 points, 15 boards and three blocks per game! And the boy can dance.

He's putting in work and his Orlando Magic are among the elite in the East. Through yesterday's action, his Blue Magic (16-4) are atop the Southeast division, 6.5 games ahead of Washington (8-9). So, my man is putting in work like I said. No doubt. That much is definitely clear and dude's arguably the best big man, but best player in the L!?

Have you lost your f**king mind!?

Just to say best big man in the league, you have to compare Howard to Tim Duncan (who may not have the stats like Howard, but we all know he gets busy when needed), Yao Ming, Carlos Boozer and Amare Stoudemire.

Now, granted, Boozer and Stoudemire aren't true big men, but I'm throwing them in the argument because they bang in the paint too. Now, if you're saying Howard's better than the aforementioned fellas, then you have to compare him to dudes that don't play his position, since you're saying he's the best.

That brings up guys like Kobe Bryant, Bron Bron, T-Mac, Carmelo Anthony, A.I., Steve Nash.

COME ON! Dwight Howard is as impressive as they come and an MVP candidate right now, but better than these cats? Not yet, maybe not ever.

Fallback on the madness! To me saying Howard's the best is like saying Weezy is the best. Perhaps they're the hottest (pause), as in no one is hotter in their respective games right now, but best!? No, no, no. Not while guys named Hov and Kobe are breathing. Please.

SPEAK ON THIS!

Your Boy,

SOHH BALLSY
