"Lebron training with Rhymes With Olajuwon in 2011"
Tue Feb-12-13 02:35 PM by JAESCOTT777

  

          

Man Hakeem STILL got it his J is still wet.
Truely a master.

Lol its amazing how ridiculously slew footed Bron is.
If he ever really gets this in his arsenal he might score 100.
It was really dope what Bron said at the end about having more options.

Man look at the range and fluidity on his drop steps
Feb 12th 2013
30
I think Olajuwon has an athletic gift that we haven't characterized
Feb 12th 2013
31
i think the funny thing is if you watched that video with no clue
Feb 12th 2013
32
      What?
Feb 12th 2013

      Lebron is one of the most fluid athletes in the galaxy

Feb 12th 2013

Dude, how fucking tall is Lebron? I never bought that Dream was 6'9
Feb 13th 2013
55
i recall a commentaor saying Bron grew an inch
Feb 13th 2013
56
      Both Ewing and Olajuwon were listed at 7'0, but Dream was rumoured
Feb 13th 2013
57
           well you know in sports they give cats extra inches
Feb 13th 2013
59
                then they need to give KD 2 more inches

Name someone having a better post-career than Olajuwon

He lives in the middle east with his family, be minding
his business and gets routinely begged to come help
players with footwork

Dunno what he's charging, but he can charge whatever
he wants

Dude could control the entire area inside the three point line at both ends of the floor. There has never been another player like him.

Obviously Jabbar had the better career and was overall the better player. But on natural gifts? I would probably put Hakeem and Shaq ahead of him.

Usually retired athletes let themselves go to waste with the decreased activity and decline of metabolism. Looks like Olajawon is still in pretty good shape in the various training videos.

Like who he got his moves from or were they all self taught.

I've heard the stories of a young Hakeem balling with Moses to toughen up.

But all of the footwork and post moves, who'd he work with?

But the application to basketball.

He wasn't doing that in college.

Who'd he work with to finely tune that?

for everything you did, he had a counter, and the genius was the instinct.

one thing to know what to do, the other thing to be able to do it as simple as breathing.

hell, the david robinson evisceration in 95? All stuff he pulled out in that series.

absolute genius. he'll be this generation's newell.

Also, Kobe was easily the best pupil. Hakeem camp
actually transformed his game. It made everyone at
least slightly better, though

who is his bff

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

He floats across the lane. You see Lebron trying it but he doesnt have the same range. LOL at the Dwight Howard training videos with Hakeem.

I will say --later in his career he was a beneficiary of the NBA lax travel rules. He did a lot of moves where he slid that pivot foot before he really started moving.

Anyone w/two eyes can see that was a complimentary comment (not to mention true from most objective measures) but if it looks like a slight, it will be perceived as one.

We saw this when "Ether" dropped, this brand of knee-jerk defense.

Yes, I'm mad. Let's move on.

after all, his last season--when he averaged 7 points and six rebs in 22 minutes--was 12 years ago. but he does look agile enough to leave spencer hawes grabbing at air. either way, dude is a treasure.

this is why nba players should soccer train in the offseason ...or play soccer in the off season


do alternative sports or events...How like receivers back in the 80s used to take up ballet to give them balance and grace.

This makes me wonder how tall Ewing was then cause i could have swore he was listed at 6'11

no telling either way it just makes me more amazed at Lebron

to be closer to 6'9. He's no more than an inch shorter than Ewing, and has the same shoulder height of Shaq and David Robinson, both of whom were listed at 7'1.
