    Their measurements.</p>

    Bargnani is a shade over seven feet tall with Howard a finger width shorter. Howard is seven pounds heavier than Bargnani at 265 to Mago's 258.</p>

    Obviously the issue with playing centre isn't just size; it is strength and the ability to maintain position in the trenches. But I think some people don't realize that our Italian big man is average sized, if not slightly larger than the typical NBA centre.</p>

    Let's just hope our man doesn't fill up too much on pasta back home in training camp. </p>

    That's surprising, especially the weight. I would have guessed that Howard had Bargnani by at least 25 lbs.</p>

    I don't care what the scale says, Dwight Howard is MUCH bigger, bulkier, and stronger. Bargnani has a lot of weight in the lower body (no, that is not a homo comment), much like Yi Jianlian. Dwight Howard is a tank.</p>

    Dwight Howard will dunk on Bargnani at least once this season. Bargnani, on the other hand...nah.</p>

    Howard is so much stronger then Bargnani. I mean, they way the play is different to, and Dwight is way more athletic then Il Mago. But, Bargnani is more clutch, IMHO.</p>

    Haha, they may be the same size but Dwight is stronger, more athletic, and isn't a soft foreign big man. He'll dunk all over you then block your shot on the other side of the floor.</p>
