    Amare has never shown promise with his back to the basket. Maybe he can develop a simple jump hook, but i'm not expecting a lot of improvement.

    I wonder how much he would charge to teach him how to play defense.

    Hakeem needs to go ahead and open a clinic/academy, there are too many big men that need to learn average post moves let alone from the great one himself.

    Nah. Hakeem needs to stay focused on premium talents. The kind that can semi-replicate some of Hakeem's better moves.

    There are plenty of coaches that can teach basic post moves. No need to send Brook Lopez there. For the longest time we had Carroll Dawson teaching post-moves and it worked out fine.

    I have a feeling it would only take 25 million.

    He's got some 'splaining to do to Dwight before he deals with Stat.

    I'm really tired of hearing how these watered down basketball players are trying to learn Hakeem low post moves. When damn'er none of them use them. And none of them have have at least 1/3 of Hakeems HEART. Stoudamire??? Please. Give me a break.

    Lebron worked with Hakeem last summer. Where did you see Hakeem post moves in Lebrons game? No where. He still hasn't grasp that you're only allowed two steps after you pick up your dribble. Hakeem is just getting that paper. And you can't hate him for that. Get ya money Dream.

    Good ole Hakeem, hasn't changed. Still loves money. Nothing wrong with that mind you.

    I understand what you are saying, but Lebron definitely showed he learned from hakeem this past season and applied it.

    I could tell from watching Lebron this past year vs other years not so much that he was using Dreams moves, but you could tell that he played with a different sense of calm and confidence that he himself credited to his big bro Hakeem. Break em Dream :grin:

    Lebron's post game has improved a lot. He used plenty of post moves during his playoff run.

    I actually think Donuts has the quickness and footwork to learn Hakeem's moves.
