Miller: Can he teach Yao the high Post?

You thought Moses Malone was a smart guy?

Really?

Ok, we are not going to agree there....

DD

 

Nope, we won't agree. Also, he ain't dead.

 

Never said he was dead, nor smart.

DD

 

So is this to prevent him from getting fronted?

If so why isn't it easy for him to watch footage and learn, he has a high bball iq doesn't he?

 

yao can pass and set screens from the high post, but he can't score from there.

adelman tried that with yao for the first 2 months in his first year here and yao was struggling for his offense.

i do hope he can develop a legit high post game b/c that will prolong his career.

 

He knows what to do but his size gives him physical limitations, he can not move quickly, has trouble catching the ball and his center of gravity is too high and thus he is easily displaced.

As much of an advantage it is to be 7'6" tall, there are also some sever disadvantages too.

I wonder if Hakeem thinks Moses is smart? I suspect that he does.

 

So we are going on your suspicions of what other people think now?

Awesome.....

DD

 

That is why I love Yao. People say he is just a tall big guy with no skill. But that video proves he is a excellent skilled big man. You have to have a high basketball IQ to make those passes. I just hope he stays healthy this year...

 

WTF? That's a response that makes sense? Pardon me while I search for my volume of The Collected Works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

 

Yeah, it means you are guessing that you think Hakeem thinks Moses is smart.

It is not any proof that Hakeem thinks that, just that you believe it.

Here is the opposite argument and see what you think of it.

I believe Hakeem thought Moses was a good basketball player but an idiot off the court.

See how that seems kind of silly?

DD

 

No, I don't find it silly. I'd like to see something that would make me believe Dream felt that way. I have seen numerous quotes of Hakeem praising Malone, who was his mentor.

 

Yes, me too...Moses was awesome at basketball.

Doesn't make him smart.

DD

 

Moses is not highly educated. Doesn't make him dumb.

 

No doubt, just him being dumb makes him dumb.

DD

 

Based on what?

 

The same kind of observational data you are using to say he isn't.

Let's do this some more, it is really fun.



DD

 

Yeah Deckard....stop it.

Oh, wait, it take two to tango....you stop it too DaDakota !!!!

:grin:

Yes, Brad Miller can help Yao at the high post.
