If you started a team today to win this year, which NBA center would you want, Yao Ming or Dwight Howard?

i say Yao... he is fundamentally sound, has great range, inside game, better free throw shooter... howard is a lot stronger and better in the low post, and is a better one on one defender, but i'd still give it to Yao... in my opinion, Yao is similar to Tim Duncan, and Howard is similar to Shaq.... and between those two i would go with Duncan for the same reasons....
