    idk what he'll say but here's what I see...


    he isn't getting low enough.. hes all shoulders right now. the battle on the block is won with hips and getting leverage.. your shoulders won't help you dwight.

    he needs to be sealing better so that he places himself in a position to make a dropstep and then counter..

    he has a nice faceup drive into the lane.. he could make it more dangerous with a faceup bank shot

    First post should be underneath the basket, then let them push you out.

    They're saying he isn't starting his post moves close enough. Battle for the position you want, then demand the ball. If the team won't give it to you, get a three second violation. Then run down the court telling them to give the ball to you or get another violation.

    daam they were spot on with everything. i hope dwight eventually starts doing this. its hard to watch the best center in the league score 2 pts in the 2nd half plus double overtime.

    Cliffnotes:

    1) Establish post presence deep inside and don't get pushed out so easily - Barkley
    2) If they do push you out, you should still be closer than where Dwight normally is - Shaq
    3) If you get fronted, keep him out there. Swing the ball and get the ball passed on the other side - Barkley
    4) Have more moves. Dwight does the same move every time - Shaq
    5) Body language so the passers know when you want it - Kenny

    Here's the problem, they are saying he needs to get better position but they played in a different era, Dwight can't back down without guys falling down and him getting called for ridiculous charges! In todays NBA Shaq would of got called for a charge about 10 times a game!

    Shaq talking about diving in from the weak side is something Dwight NEVER does.

    He isn't. The only thing more obnoxious than his free throw shooting and post game is having to hear about it every. single. game. from the announcers and commentators

    I don't know either Dwight doesn't want to be great or he is just stupid
