2535247, You don't know what he was talking about do you?

Because you said an awful lot that had zero to do with what he was getting at. If you think Dwight's problems in Houston are solely due to his health then you've got blinders on.

It's a mentality and personality thing with Dwight.
It's an approach to the game issue with Dwight.
Frankly, Dwight doesn't have a winners DNA.
He's can't be an Alpha dog in a pack with another Alpha.

In fact he's done some of the same things in Houston that he's done in LA.

Case in point? You've pointed out his health issues.

He bitches and moans about not being more involved in the offense. If his health is SO BAD, as bad as you’ve said, then he shouldn’t be relied upon all that heavily in the offense.

So either he’s super hurt or he’s just fine and should be given a much bigger role in the offense. You- and Dwight- simply can’t have it both ways.

Still, that wasn’t what he was getting at when he said Kobe was right. D12 is SOFT. Point blank. Soft. Not in a street sense, but in terms of the game. In terms of his approach, his demeanor, his incessant desire to clown around as his performance isn’t up to snuff.

Shaq was a clown off the court but when he got in the game he wanted to destroy the other and played like it.
