Footwork, yes, but I think Dwight has pretty OK finesse. Watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mArHU1ewSog I notice that Dwight's release is too low and too much in the front. His center of gravity is also not low enough. Of course, he won't ever turn into Dream but getting a little better in the post would help big, adding to the PnR with Harden and Lin.
My sentiments exactly. Great man, great video, great OP. He's even more amazing when you consider he played soccer and not basketball growing up. And even though I'm not a Houston Cougar I love the fact that Hakeem was both a Cougar and a Rocket.
This is true. Hakeem is the wrong mentor for Dwight. I've always wondered why Dwight didn't/doesn't reach out to Shaq for help? I'd give Shaq whatever money he wanted for him to tutor me if I were Dwight.
He is ridiculous. All those moves, all so smooth and he was able to put it on the floor and dribble too. He was the complete package. On a side note, can someone explain to me why it wasn't traveling with the move he pulled on Shaq at around the 10 minute mark?
wow thanks for posting this...I havent watched hakeem in years almost forgot how bad he was. There is not PF/C that moves anywhere near like he does now.
