Which current NBA players' game can Hakeem take to the next level?

Lebron James.

He needs another summer with dream.

 

I agree, Durant has the perfect amount of size and nibbleness balance to properly use Dream's shakes, fakes, and hooks.

 

James Harden

 

Maybe Javale McGee? That guys is agile for his size. He just looks so clumsy!

 

It's obviously Dwight. Dwight just needs to put more work in, not only with him, but also without him. Up to this point he obviously hasn't learned much if he isn't using any of it in games.

 

Paul George

 

kevin durant

 

i think anthony davis could benefit

 

Jeremy Lin.

 

Thomas Robinson

 

I think Yao had it right, working with Hakeem is great but there are so few people that have his elite abilities that very few can actually execute the things he's teaching. That's probably why wings have had a better go at adopting the dream shake than guys like Dwight Howard. Durant is probably a good one, and one that should try to develop a consistent game closer to the basket.

 

It's definitely not Dwight. If anything Dwight needs to hit up Shaq, pay him whatever he wants and mold his game after him. The things Hakeem did was way too advanced/difficult for Dwight to emulate. Completely different skill-sets.

 

Hakeem didn't really do much for Lebron and Kobe, Kobe had great footwork way before that.

I guess they were more willing to post up, but they didn't learn nothing new.

None. Just like Hakeem didn't learn his post moves from anyone (save for maybe Carroll Dawson teaching him the fundamental jump hook), he learned it on his own and refined it on his own.

Some of the current/young guys just need to lock themselves in the gym and work things out on their own. They can't learn how to post up from just a few sessions from even someone like Hakeem. (Although I'm sure Hakeem appreciates the business on 2nd visits and the free PR)

 

I don't think it does anything for Dwight, because he doesn't care enough. It's typical fake-hustle stuff from him. His offensive game has not improved in how many years now? 4? 5? Even though he's worked with Hakeem. It's kinda like when you were a kid and your parents wanted you to put in some extra time studying, but you just fake-hustled and stared at the pages for a while. Technically, you were 'studying', but nothing was really getting accomplished.

 

you don't really do much for Clutchfans.

 

lol, dwight and shaq really don't like each other. shaq takes a shot at dwight every time he gets a chance on TV. I doubt Dwight would ever call up Shaq.
