How is Marc better than Pau? Riddle me this? What level of production does he excel at over Pau? The media perception of these brothers is crazy. Ill use the per 36 min scale to keep the comparison fair.

Pau 11/12: 16.7ppg, 50%fg, 13.6 FG per game, 10rbg, 1.3blks
Pau defense: Post Up PPP .73 and PnR man .8

Marc 11/12: 14.5ppg, 48%fg, 11.2FG per, 8.8rb, 1.8blks
Marc defense: Post up PPP .7 and PnR man .98


So there you have it. Only thing Marc has the edge on Pau is shotblocking but even then its not much. Pau is still a much better offensive player, passer and PnR defender than Marc. I think people just saw Pau's last 2 playoff years and choose to use his brother as a mean to slight him but in the end he is still one if not the most all around big man in the league and top producers at PF/C....and dont let the Laker avi fool you. I speak facts only not feelings.

Um look at what Bosh did in TO with the Raptors as the main threat. He was damn near the best pf in the league.

Bynum only started getting serious touches this past year, while Pau and Kobe sahred the majority of the offensive load. Bosh >> Pau

Actually neither is true, Bosh and Pau are 2 totally diff players that fit their respective teams. Bosh a better shooter but Pau much better post player obviously. Defensively Bosh much better PnR defender and Pau much better in the post.

How about you guys stop having a pissing match and throw out stats to back up your arguments. One thing that needs to be killed is that Marc is better than Pau. There is no rhyme or reason to this fact. Pau is also much more productive at the 5 but since Bynum emerged this past year that was a no go.

meh, they both played below average last season but 2k tends to go off name recognition instead of on court performance .

Another player people want to shade Pau with is Lamarcus Alridge. He's a better offensive player than Pau now but his rebounding is average to say the least for a guy that is supposed to be a top big man and he isnt much of a shot blocker either. Not sure how guys praise big men that dont rebound or block shots like scoring 20ppg and having a nice jumper is the priority of a big man in the league. This is one of the reason why Portland will never excel on the back of LMA.

Please tell me how bosh played below average last season? His numbers are going to be lower because he isn't the #1 option. Look at the numbers he put up while wade and lebron were hurt. Not to mention how big he was against Boston and Okc.

You must admit that Bosh needs to rebound better. If you compare his rebound rate to Haslem's you can see Bosh is not a good rebounder for his position. Average at best. I don't trip off of the points with Bosh. However, he has to board more.
