    I remember when I was 15, I was desperately hoping for something like that to happen to me, since something similar happened to Dennis Rodman. Of course, I ended up breaking my leg, and and after the operation, my broken leg came out slightly shorter than the good one. I was 19, and then I stopped playing basketball for like 7 years, because of the leg.

    that explains his freakish skinny waist for his height

    he must had pants that kept falling down cuz he had no waist to hold them.

    Didn't Rodman supposedly grow from like 5'8, to 6'9 from 18-20 years old?

    I always thought his handle would be better because of his once being a pointguard - I didn't know the spurt was like that, tho. He doesn't have much of a pointguard mentality in any way.

    Yea. I believe Hakeems because he had the moves/handle at the C. Rodman also showed some flashes of perimeter play.

    I have a feeling Dwight has relied heavy on his athletiscm throughout his entire life, maybe im going out on a limb though

    I agree with you. It showed in his game he was very unpolished he's starting to get a lot better though. Now he just needs to learn how to pass out of the post, specifically double teams and he will be UNSTOPPABLE
