    Thanks for posting that video. I watched every second of it. Fascinating. After playing 30 years of tennis I can say that imitating and perfecting of 3 small moves is not simple. Anthony will take home the video and watch it a dozen times with his trainers. Then he will put a couple of days practicing it. Hope it works. It looks to me like a five step maneuver dance. You practice it until it is perfect.

    this question is repeated more times than a charlie brown christmas.

    they have coaches in houston. if you notice, he's not training newbs lately, just elites like lebron, kobe, etc.

    he owes the rockets nothing. he's given them everything and given them glory that will last for eternity.

    Agreed...From what i'm noticing is since Hakeem's quickness was so close to a guard's, I can see Hakeem leaning more towards training players that play the 2 or 3 and already have some sort of a post up game, and want to take their post-game to another level.

    So when players like Kobe and Lebron do his moves, not only do they make the moves look fluid and smooth, but they can ACTUALLY DO THE MOVES! But the other players that he's trained dont have that same quickness and don't play with the type of finesse that Dream played with.

    And as far as the comments about Hakeem working with the Rockets... Rockets dont have any players that are worth training. However, if there's anyone I can see Hakeem working with in the future from the Rockets, it would probably be James Harden - he has the quickness, and has the size to work in the post. I think Harden would be able to pick up Hakeem's moves pretty quickly.

    Because t jones is a scrub while melo is a superstar. Hakeem is a busy man you know and he charges 100k per lesson.
