Phil's right. Both Bynum and Lopez are more gifted offensively, but neither is capable of completely changing a game with his defense.

A good example, (if you're an oldtimer like me) is Russell and Chamberlain, Wilt could score 100 point a game, but Bill was the much better defensive player!!!

I think Dwight is as gifted as those guys but he was limited by double teams a lot more.He still carried a higher PPG and FG% than those guys so what else can you go by to determine who is better?People think Dwight only dunks but they haven't realy been paying attention. He dunks because he can. People can't stop him from getting to the basket.

MMA, good point!!! Did Shaq have an outside game???? Shaq dunked the ball alot, because he could, no one could stop him, without fouling him!!!!

"Dwight is a guy who has amazing athletic ability, but overall, game, rebounding, defending, blocking shots, running the court, this is the guy who runs with the wolves so to speak. He can get up and down that court as quick as any of the guards and forwards because of his athletic ability. Both Brook Lopez and Andrew Bynum are more plodders as players. They have trouble in their transition game in both directions. This is a big difference in the play of those guys."Thanks for saying what needed to be said Phil. I can't believe how many people even try to compare those guys to Dwight. On another note... is Phil making overtures to come back to LA?

I said this a few months back, IMO if Brown doesn't produce this year then, Phil will come out of retirement to coach the Lakers once again!!!
