I think I read somewhere that Dwight has been playing in some adidas event, or pick up games or something... I can't remember where I read that, nor do I remember if I I actually did read that somewhere...

yes. i didnt say iggy wasnt the better player though. it wasnt just me saying it either.
Iggy is better in every aspect except shooting the three, and with the way Iggy was shooting the three in the Olympics I expect his numbers to go up there too.

He's the second best perimeter defender in the league behind LeBron. A great slasher, a good rebounder, a good creater for others. Afflalo can't match him in ANY of those areas.

If Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard had the youth of Orlando, FL on his side, he's probably lost it, as it's being reported by the Orlando Sentinel that Howard will be skipping his own youth basketball camp.

Instead of attending the annual youth basketball camp, Howard will be putting all his focus on his back, as he'll be in Southern California rehabbing his back.

According to sources, many families in Orlando aren't too happy with Howard and his decision to skip the camp. Other families are angry that they paid $199 to register for the camp expecting to see Howard.

However, Howard has been spotted around Southern California at a Los Angeles Dodgers game, where he was reportedly booed by fans. Also, he was seen playing in the Adidas Nations tournament in Long Beach over the weekend, which probably says to the public that his back isn't hurting that bad.

A camp official said that refunds will be given back to those who don't want to attend due to Howard skipping the camp.

Magic's first-round draft pick Andrew Nicholson will take Howard's place at the youth camp.

That's where I read it.

I guess you can find certain things similar about them.

I don't see the comparisons at all. Iggy is a much better slasher, rebounder, passer, etc., as I stated above (sorry for being repetitive lol). Much better defender too.

afflalo isnt a slouch on defense though. and i already said iggy is better in those parts of his game and id want him over arron but arron will put up more scoring #'s and shoot for better %'s all around at this point. arron also had more fta's last season.

Iggy is a much better scorer though, with the exception of shooting the ball. Iggy proved in his early years in Philly that he can score the ball if he needs to, but he thrives more in a point-forward role and creating for others, so that's what he did.

Like I said, the only thing Afflalo is better at is shooting, and Iggy is improving his jumper a lot.

OK... I haven't really look hard core at this trade or seen what picks Orlando got, but it seems like this deal was amazing for everybody but the Magic?

JJ is about to start pulling up from half court like he's from duke

I may have to pencil him in for MIP
Too bad I think he'll have the same role unless we trade Afflalo.
