    All of the above?

    How about..Otis can teach Dwight to love Houston?

    and what in the world is the point of this pointless thread?

    He's like a real life alternate ending of Back to the Future. One where Marty decides to stay in the past.

    Dwight doesn't need to train with anyone. All he needs is to work with his Ft shooting coach and shoot 1000 ft every day. Imaging a DH can shoot 80% from ft line, he will boost his scoring by at least 5 pts instantly.

    No but he has trained with Dream before.

    yet, judging by his play, he hasn't been able to replicate anything Dream has showed him.

    Otis Thorpe is the Rockets all time Iron Man, he never misses any game, he's the anti Mr Glass.

    OT was also the exact opposite of a diva, Dwight can benefit from these life teachings.

    I love Otis, but he can't touch the skill of Howard. Keep working with the dream, even if you can't do the dreamshake, you can learn how to use move progressions and setting your man up from dream.

    1/5 stars. For this once in a blue moon, tinman was too ridiculous for me.

    Actually, I think he should try to learn that Kevin Willis little hook shot. I think that is better suited to what he is capable of.

    :confused:

    The baby hook is something Howard already does -- left and right-handed. It's like the only shot he can make

    I'm surprised that Howard trained with Olajuwon because there is no visible evidence that he's improved any of his post moves.

    lol...none.

    But Dream was a different breed and honestly what he does/did, no one but him could/can do.

    A couple random sessions isn't going to commit dream improvisation skills to memory for the tutee.

    That stuff he did was pure athleticism and improv....

    I know there was a science to it, he made it look so easy.

    Dwight could NEVER be that.
