Spurs / Mavs game 3.

And Lyion... the answers to my question are...

Tayshaun Prince (picked at #24)... who isn't as good as Josh Howard
Rashard Lewis (picked at #37)... plays for shit-ass team, can't defend, but a pretty good pick nonetheless
Al Harrington (picked at #22)... not nearly as good but pretty similar

and...

Andrei Kirilenko (picked at #21)... okay, he kicks the shit out of Josh in every aspect, but Zan already covered the Euro aspect... so... he doesn't count.

Prince is close to howard.

Yes... very close... but Tayshaun usually has a lot more talent around him... and he plays more minutes than Josh... plus he's been in the league longer... but statistically, Josh puts up more points, grabs more boards, hits more 3pointers, blocks more shots, steals more balls... does everything better.

The weirdest stat is his +20 games... ya'll might have heard that in game... When Josh scores 20 or more, the Mavs are 21-0. That's like... freakishly weird. It's easily an NBA record... the closest is some bit-player in the 80s at 16-0. A BUNCH of those 21 wins were close games too... it's just that when Josh has a great game... when he's focused... it's like, the rest of the team is focused. The whole squad feeds off his energy.
