    btw, i agree about howard, he's definitely flying under the radar.
    And it's one game.

    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

      This isn't a thread about who should be the ROY, it's about the absence of respect for a teenage high school player who is 5th in rebounding.

      Emeka is 22 years old and went to college and Deng is young, has been good, also went to college but Howard is close to having the same amount of rebounds that he has points. He isn't in the top 5 of anything. If Lebron was in the top 5 in scoring or assists last year you would have heard about it again and again and again ............and again.
      If you're main complaint is Dwight Howard's airtime this year vs Lebron's last year, its a pointless thread. One is the Nba's new posterchild and will be milked again and again....and again. Yes Dhoward was the #1 pick and is doing damn well for a HS kid, but nobody is going to get coverage like Lebron, the Heat, the Lakers, etc. Look at the Wizards, they are just as good as the Magic (if not better seeing as how they beat them) and yet no one even utters a word about them, even NBA Fastbreak doesnt show Wizards highlights. I understand that the respect will come when it matters, when we make the playoffs. Same with dwight, its like Dwade last year, no one talked much about him, he surprised/opened eyes at the Rookie game, and then earned his press in the playoffs. Fact is there is no story surrounding Dwight's situation, in fact the magic have bigger stories in the Magic getting the better end of the rockets deal and GHill. its not like KB5 who got drafted by Jordan and thus was scrutinized, everyone was willing to let Dwight come around, and I believe he wasnt even supposed to start at the season's outset.

              It's a basketball board, what do you want me to talk about? Sometimes you just can't catch a break. Be nice to me or I'll start another Artest thread or whether MJ is the best ever. I can be as dull as the next guy.
