And apparently none of them involve the biblical meaning to ask God to remove ones resentments, like the #8 symbolizes.

And he won't make a single one of those jumpers in-season because he will be too scared of letting people down
Maybe he should hire a stadium of people to practice in front of... Lol, because you're absolutely right, come game time... 50% free throws... Of course espn will write some silly article about why he can't shoot blah blah, but obviously there have been bigger players that can make them.
Yep. Put a group full of kids behind the basket and he might miss every shot. Dude needs a psychiatrist, not a shooting coach.
See, This is the BS I dislike about Dwight. Instead of practicing his god awful free throw's, he's shooting mid range jumpers. The same amount of points he gets for dunks, layups, free throws. Good Luck ATL.
funny thing is he does practice his FT's but yeah all these jumpers that he's been apparently practicing now this summer is going to be hilarious to see once the year starts. Every single defense in the league is going to give him jumpers all game long and rightfully so. I honestly have no idea what DH is thinking at this point.
Teams don't want to give him post touches. Referees are getting even worse about power moves in the paint always favoring floppers or people smaller than him. There is nothing wrong with him if he is legitimately attempting to expand his offensive repertoire. The only question is if he will actually take these in game.
And that question is exactly the problem. At this point of his career that is not translating over into a game. If he can't even translate his free throws over from practice a jump shot has absolutely no chance lol
He's gonna take a few jumpers at the beginning of the season, miss almost all of them, then not get the ball at the top of the key because his team mates are scared of him missing said jumpers, then he'll complain about not getting the ball enough at the top of the key, pout, then we can begin off season speculation as to where Dwight will end up next after ESPN does an intervention.
"Back"? He has never been close to a 25 guy He has never been a 23 guy He has only been a 21+ guy once in his career lulz at Dwight learning a new trick that makes him a Yao guy
and hes not going to all of a sudden turn into some jump shot maker at 31 when hes never been in his entire career. A few weeks in the summer will in no way change that
