They're just nothing alike at all, Lewis is twice the player Thomas is Oh yeah, and you're dismissing Lewis way too early: he's playing alongside the 1st or 2nd most dominant big man in game right now, who's still not even close to his prime.

He's a winner. His most distinguishing trait is that he knows how to join the best team: skins or shirts. That's a skill in and of itself. Like they say: It's better to be lucky than good! Horry is certainly lucky!

Now I know who Mr. Boe is. His stay at S2 will be rather short today if he continues down his standard path

Rashard Lewis Tim Thomas Thomas is averaging 12 and 4 over his career, Rashard's averaging 17 and 6 (rounded numbers). 20 Thomas is averaging 11.5 over the last 3 seasons (and 55 games), while Rashard is averaging 20 (and 73 games).' Big difference. Rashard has come into his own as a star in this league (not consistent all-star/superstar, just star). Thomas has been always known as a bust going for the money.

He's got ~12 years in this league, still. What do expect? Not even Lebron could win a title that quickly. And he's still 22! He led the league in rebounding, he's one of the top shot blockers, and he's one of the best defenders in the post in this league. And, once again, he's still 22! And still developing. IMO you're dismissing him way too quickly.
