    Although has become "more" comfortable down in the post, he still doesn't go down there enough. That means he still doesn't believe he can do what he does on the perimeter in the post.

    It takes time. I think he still relies on his athleticism way too much, and should start transitioning 40% of his offense to the post. I think he'll do that more in the next few years. He knows it.

    And he should pay Hakeem AT LEAST of his season's salary, and more depending how much more he improves. A few sessions with Hakeem has already generated arguably the most efficient season in NBA history, and possibly more to come.

    strange. so Lebron James, who beat Rose and the Chicago Bulls, doesn't deserve championships because he's "mentally weak." but somehow the guy (Rose) that lost to the "mentally weak" Lebron James is deserving. :rolleyes:

    Why do youngsters continue to try to harness the finesse and the genius that was Hakeem/Akeem The DREAM!?!?!?

    It will be impossible to ever recreate his moves with the same passion, the same tenacity, the same desire. IMPOSSIBLE. :eek: Don't try it, youngsters. You'll only look ridiculous.

    There was only ONE Hakeem and there will ALWAYS be ONE Hakeem.
    Sadly, that's what SHE said. :(

    That MINDSET to DOMINATE and get better is what made Dream great. Thats probably what feels so empowering to players when they work with him. He makes it seem so gracefully easy to DESTROY with your talents

    Mo was not on that team. That team had an All-Star big in Zydrunas (who was good before playing with LeBron) and some nice pieces around him (most of them were rotation players before joining the Cavs and still rotation players now or retired).




    If we are talking hypotheticals, then maybe Kobe could win the East with his supporting cast. They took the Suns to 7 and the Suns would easily win the East. :rolleyes: .

    Look at those guys- most of them were are either retired or in a rotation somewhere. Look at Kobe's supporting cast in the mid-2000s (they were mostly D-League caliber players). If you think they are comparable, then I don't know what to say to you.

    That isn't arrogance, he actually believes that.

    And that is what made him amazing.

    You sure you didn't just turn on Lebron after ESPN backtracked following the Decision?

    LBJ is still the best player in the league. He'll eventually win some rings. Everyone who hates him now will forgive him then
