Paul Anthony Pierce was born on October 13, 1977 in Oakland, California. (Click here for a complete listing of today's sports birthdays.) His mother, Lorraine Hosey, moved the family to Los Angeles a short time later. Paul never knew his dad. Lorraine, a single mother working two nursing jobs, raised Paul and his two half-brothers, Jamal and Steve. One of Paul’s friends as a kid was Baron Davis. Paul grew up in a happy, hard-working family. His mother liked the structure of sports and encouraged her boys to play all they wanted. Jamal starred for Inglewood High School and earned a college scholarship to Wyoming. Steve was a baseball star who was drafted in the first round by the San Francisco Giants when Paul was 12. As a freshman, Paul started all but one game for the Jayhawks and averaged 11.7 points and 5.3 rebounds. Still, he played fourth banana to stars Jacque Vaughn, Scot Pollard and Raef Lafrentz.  

 When Paul finally got a couple of talented running mates in his 10th season, few doubted that he would blend quickly with them. He has the kind of game that can compliment or be complimented by great players. He learned this from Roy Williams at Kansas and forgot little during his years leading a marginally talented Boston club. Paul is a good defender with excellent anticipation and great body strength. He uses these attributes to battle for rebounds as well as any small forward in the league.

Dwight David Howard (born December 8, 1985, in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American basketball player for the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Howard, who usually plays center but can also play power forward, had an outstanding high school career. He chose to forgo college and entered the 2004 NBA Draft. He was selected first overall by the Magic, and has since emerged as one of the top rebounders and players in the NBA. A two-time NBA All-Star and All-NBA member and one-time NBA All-Defensive member, he has been ranked consistently as one of the best in the league in field goal percentage. In the 2008 Olympics, he was the starting center for Team USA which went on to win the gold medal. Howard's overall play and his spectacular dunks have gained him prominence as one of the brightest young prospects in the NBA and the team leader of the Magic. Additionally, Howard, the winner of the NBA 2008 Slam Dunk Contest, is a devout Christian who contributes substantially to philanthropic causes.
Howard was born to Dwight Sr. and Sheryl Howard and into a family with strong athletic connections. His father is a Georgia state trooper and serves as Athletic Director of Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy, a private academy with one of the best high school basketball programs in the country, while his mother played on the inaugural women's basketball team at Morris Brown College. A devout Christian since his youth, Howard became serious about basketball around the age of nine; in eighth grade, he resolved to be selected as the number one pick in the NBA Draft one day. Despite his large frame, Howard was quick and versatile enough to play the guard position. He elected to attend Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy for high school, and in his four years he played mostly as power forward, averaging 16.6 points per game (ppg), 13.4 rebounds per game (rpg) and 6.3 blocks per game in 129 appearances. As a senior, Howard led his team to the 2004 state title. He averaged 25 points, 18 rebounds, 8 blocks and 3.5 assists per game. That same year, Howard was widely recognized as the best American high school basketball player, and he was awarded the Naismith Prep Player of the Year Award, the Morgan Wootten High School Player of the Year Award, Gatorade National Player of the Year and the McDonald's National High School Player of the Year honor. He was also co-MVP (with J. R. Smith) of the McDonald's High School All-American Game that year.

Wayne Selden profile And Pics

Strenth:
A powerful forward who already owns a man's body, Selden is strong as an ox and able to overpower virtually anyone in his age bracket. He goes strong to the rim, going right at any shot-blocker, and consequently getting to the free-throw line in high volume. He is at his best in the open floor where he combines his power with some break-away athleticism and good instincts. While he is naturally a good passer, his perimeter skill set is also coming along with both his three-point shot and mid-range pull-up vastly improved.

Weaknesses:
While Selden shows glimpses of explosive athleticism in the open floor, the rest of his game is void of any explosion. He doesn't have an explosion first step, won't rise up in a congested lane, and shoots a set shot off both the catch and the dribble. His ceiling is likely to be determined by how he progressing physically. If he doesn't grow more, he could plateau as a six-foot-four combo-forward.

Bottom Line:
A physically dominant player, Selden dominates players in his own age bracket but will need to continue to get more skilled and learn to incorporate his athleticism into his game as his peers begin to catch up with him physically.
