Re: Dwight Howard Exposed? 1-6 FG!
[QUOTE=D-Rose]What the hell are the Magic paying Ewing to do? Least KAJ has helped Bynum's game a lot.[/QUOTE]
He's an overrated mentor. He's still good, but he's not as good as some people imply. Patrick Ewing was on the Rockets staff a while ago and he taught Yao stuff. But really not that much. Dwight's improvement came in recent years because he plays in a system where he will get the ball more.
In my opinion, Mutombo has probably helped out Yao more over the years than Patrick Ewing did.
Re: Dwight Howard Exposed? 1-6 FG!
lol Dwight doesn't have any post moves.
Did anyone see his vitamin commercial?
He said "the dunk, the spin move, uhhhhhh thats all I can do gaiz sry"

[QUOTE=RocketGreatness]I like Dwight Howard, but I'm also a realist. Yao Ming is still better.[/QUOTE]
No you don't and no he's not! Get that through your head. Dwight is in the finals right now, where the hell is Yao? Injured? Again?! It took Yao SEVEN SEASONS to get past the first round! And Yao is now 28 and has been injured 4 straight seasons.
In 5 seasons at age 23 Dwight has made it to the second round twice, won 50+ games twice, led the league in rebounding twice, led the league in blocks and now he's in the finals. Oh yeah, Dwight has only missed 3 games in his entire career. He just had a 40/14/4 game in the clinching ECF game. He led his team to an upset win without homecourt. He's only getting better too.
Yao is better head to head with Dwight, Dwight is better against just about everyone else. Yao has the more polished game, but Dwight is the more effective player.

Also Bynum is going against Gasol and another big physical body in Mbenga in practice and has to learn post moves. Howard easily dunks on Gortat and Tony Battie in practice and rarely has to go to any post moves against them.

Bynum will be an amazing center in a couple years just watch. It will be pleasure to see a dominant true center with great post moves once more.

Actually that picture just shows how far he needs to go. He's low, which is good, but he needs to bend his knees a bit more for leverage. In that picture, it looks like Pau will cut him off and Bynum will end up charging a shoulder into Gasol's chest resulting in a charge.

Actually, if he's about to drive he looks like he is about to do one of those stupid Luke Walton Offensive fends:hammerhead:

Now that I study it a bit further, it seems as though he's about to spin baseline, jump off his right foot, sign his autograph on the backboard with a well concealed magic marker kept in his compression shorts, and then finish it off with Pau flying in to block it with a Ryu-esque spin kick.

Re: Dwight Howard Exposed? 1-6 FG!
If bynum was more comitted and determined, he would be the best center in this league. Legit 7'1 290 pounds physical freak. Only 21 years old, hopefully he matures and becomes more comitted/determined.
