Especially when Howard goes to Hakeem when he has his own full-time personal coach Ewing in Orlando. That said, in all fairness, this isn't about who was the best center (or especially the greatest, which may typically implies career achievements). It's about who had the best post moves/footwork, as well as having the necessary personality to teach it.
dream had the perfect balance of athleticism, dexterity, and footwork to do what he did. he keeps having to teach these guys that only possess one of those attributes. mcgee is just long, howard is just athletic, yaos size limited him from being able to do what olajuwon did, but he had a pretty polished post game from the get go. the only player that has been able to utilize what hakeem has taught them is kobe.. hakeem was always getting those comparisons of being able to move like a guard, its no wonder that one of todays premium guards has been able to take what hakeem taught him and use it in game..
well russell is like 80, but hakeem is hands down the greatest post player the NBA has ever seen. all of the guys who schedule workouts with dream want to desperately improve their game in the post. and hekeem is truly one of those people that puts others before himself. so im guessing that anybody thats willing to learn, hakeem is ready to teach..
It's probably cause Hakeem's the only one who still puts work in to keep in shape and can physically work with them
i guess all u know about him is his baggage, ever seen him play? McGee's one of the most underrated center in the league.... as if we're deep at the 5 spot.
It actually took another photo with my mother. Nice guy! I had a feeling he was only here to work with Hakeem.
