best way to use dwight - pass him the ball optional - smack him in the head when he acts stupid. make sure you're big as hell
1) Shaq starts it off by saying you don't gain respect by saying "give me the ball", you play hard. At the end of the video, however he agrees with Charles by saying Howard should "demand the ball" and says "thank you" to Charles for saying it. 2) Charles says Dwight "used to get 10-15 rebounds every night". Ernie interrupts and says "he's getting 12 rebounds a night now". Charles promptly takes a dump in his pants and stammers "and he should be getting that" and then adds "it's not a great 12". These two clowns ... lol.
Shaq said to play hard, citing Hakeem, as a way to "demand" the ball. Then he agrees with Chuck when Chuck said to physically demand the ball. Like, what? Shaq was the only one to zero in on something for Dwight to do. The other two basically said "play harder" and "shut up and dominate." No real concise method to do so. That's like me asking "how do I win the lottery?" and Chuck saying "you just gotta play the game."
When was the last time a Center won MVP? 13 yrs ago hybrid Duncan 15 yrs ago Shaq They just give it to SFs and Guards. Couple times to PFs
Really good question in terms of the injury possibility. Based on the clip he seems like he is trying to protect his body by not pushing too hard. Strange to see how unagressive he is but then, I haven't actually watched the Rockets play this year - 3 small kids at home and no time. We'll see if what happens come playoff time if we can make it in and Dwight can ramp it up. A lot of players are going to be playing for their next contract in the playoffs this year - Dwight / Smith / Lawson. Lawson will have to be brilliant in order to have any hope of a half-way decent contract.
Shaq should also remind everyone how he had teammates who would feed him the ball at the exact moment he had the upper hand in the post.
your reading comprehension skills are on display again. the poster is commenting on Dwight being 30 as a detriment. my example shows that 30 is not a reason why dwight is in decline.
Dwight doesn't get enough touches on offense. There is no way that both Ariza and Brewer should be ahead of him in FTAs.
I think it's more about the games officiated. In this era you're penalized for being bigger and stronger unless your name is Lebron. It began with Yao and continues with Dwight difference is Yao was still effective 15 feet out.
Dwight - why can't he set better picks at this stage of his career? Problems with Dwight isn't about demanding the ball. It is about getting respect from his teammates though.
