Chris Kaman Adds Different Dimension Than Dwight Howard

[Koolaid_Man]

For those who missed out on Chris Kaman's times with the Clippers, his qualities differ from what Dwight Howard showed last season with the Lakers before jetting to the Houston Rockets.



Kaman hardly matches Howard's defense, which earned him the NBA's Defensive player of the year award in three seasons.

"He's an above the rim player," Kaman said. "I can't play above the rim."



Kaman's career averages of 11.8 points and eight rebounds falls short of Howard's career numbers (18.29 points, 12.96 rebounds). But Kaman remains superior in his post moves and mid-range jumper. Not surprisingly, Kaman's career 74.4 percent mark from the free throw line also trumps Howard's 57.7 percent clip.



"I'm a similar player as Pau (Gasol). I think I'm inside and outside like he is," Kaman said. "I complement his game well."

Hello Moron!!! the dunk is a higer % shot - just fyi

[spurraider21]

Hello Moron!!! the dunk is a higer % shot - just fyi
yes, and a player who tends to take a higher fg% shot is more efficient. its why kobe's efficiency has always been lacking. he settles for really inefficient shots too often. if he wanted to be like mike, he should have attacked the rim more throughout his career, which is why kobe's career shooting is a very average 46.3 while MJ was north of 49%, and north of 50% if you don't count the wizards comeback

for a while i've said kobe is the best at making tough shots. we've all seen them, when a defender is draped over him, and he gives all the little moves and barely gets a shot off that should have been blocked, and it goes in. yeah, he can make those shots at like a 30% clip, when most other players would shoot those shots at 15% or so.

the problem is, kobe is also the best at taking tough shots. he settles for those ridiculous shots all the time which is why we go on about him being an inefficient chucker. he can make those tough shots better than most, but most aren't fucking retarded enough to take 12 of those per game

so is chris kaman takes less efficient shots, thats his problem. if dwight is smart enough not to try to be a jumpshooter like kaman tries to be at times, thats a credit to him

[Koolaid_Man]

this is not about Kobe...stop your fascination...

Kaman is a better shooter than DwightPERIOD! no spin will change that...Dwight is a dumb brute...foul magnate..he'll stay on the bench because he can't control himself

[Ghazi]

Kamans a bum. Lakers are losing 40+ games this year

[Leetonidas]

Kaman :lmao

i brought up kobe as a prime example of inefficiency. being a better shooter doesn't mean more efficient scorer. heck, im sure nick young is a better pure shooter than lebron is, but that doesn't mean shit. hoping for caveman to be better than Dwight is what depressed laker fans are resorting to :lol

:lol obamanite

I did...even though he's brilliant and very smart...I didn't care about that shit...I voted for him because he was black...and the very reason I voted for him is the same reason you didn't...whites have been voting for presidents based on skin color since the very first president so please don't try to play the morality card....Obama's symbolism means more to me than any decision I may or may not agree with...

Hey Mavs>Spurs Black Power :lmao

[Clipper Nation]

As someone who watched his whole time with the Clippers, soft doesn't even begin to describe him, tbh.... Kaman missed countless bunny layups and was deathly afraid of dunking the ball, he turned it over too many times, and was constantly injured, tbh....

^ tell me you're not talking about CP0 :lol

[Captivus]

I got a new Keepers Fantasy League team, and i have this guy...
You think I should keep him? Fantasy is just a stats game, so maybe he can be good. I also received Bogut...OMG! Too many questions!!

[Clipper Nation]

CP3 averaged only 2.3 turnovers per game last year, less than Westbrick, Kyrie, Parker, Conley, D-Will, or Curry :lol

And as for the dunking, well.....

:lol Kool
:lol Terrible takes
:lol Talking yourself into Kaman

[teddygreen]

I actually think Pau/Nash/Kaman will work well together. Pau will roll to the basket with Nash, and pick and pop with Kaman.

[Pelicans78]

Kaman's terrible. Empty stats, turnover prone, won't pass the ball out of the post. Below average starter in this league.

Hey Mavs>Spurs Black Power :lmao
I bet you never voted for no one before 08 because all candidates were whites in previous elections, since as early as the history book tells you. Whites had to vote for those white candiates because there weren't any significant black candidates back then.

[Rogue]

Kaman is soft as your wife's boobs and the combination of him and Pau will turn out to be a joke imho.

[Leon Black]

kaman huh? boy the lakers are fucked

[AchillesHeel]

Mavs missed the playoffs with Kaman last year, Lakers aren't that much better either, tbh.

[spurraider21]

guys with Jordan Hill as the stretch 4 anything is possible

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I did...even though he's brilliant and very smart...I didn't care about that shit...I voted for him because he was black.

Yep, and due to your ignorancy (along with the other black people in projects that voted for him "bcuz hes blk yo" or "bcuz he gives me free monayyyyy") is why we are 17 trillion dollars in debt.

damn, why did we ever give you guys equal rights...

hey asswipe, my taxes are paying for your food. Which makes you my bitch. Get on all fours.... just like kobe when he injured his achilles

bitch

Yeah, because Obama's the reason the US is in debt.

i don't even want to get into this.

but obamacare right?! lol have fun having your medical bills go from $145/month to over $350/month in two years ;)

Who's that scrub gonna play for?

I am not an Obama supporter, but I found your original post rather stupid.

[spurraider21]

:lol as if no life faggot has ever paid taxes. i don't think he's old enough to legally work in the US

[Phillip]

I actually think Kaman will fit in very well with the Lakers and have a solid year if he stays healthy. Him and Pau should compliment each other very well.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Don't forget Nick Young, too!!!!!

Kaman is just a bigger & more retarded version of Findog, tbh. I'd rather have Findog on my team with Pau playing at C if I were in charge of the Lakers and wanted a different dimension. Findog is a solid defender and can hit threes.

[spurraider21]

:lmao

[Katherine Robinson]

KidCapri hopes that eventually he will be right so that he may start pulling out the "I told you so" card. I'm surprised he has not yet been jaded by his perpetually erroneous assessments.

[Kool Bob Love]

:lmao

[Riddler]

:lol

[Rogue]

But yes, he does provide more dimensions than DH, and he also occupies more seats on the bench as well.

[Indazone]

Chris Kaman is a rock. Mavs should trade for him. :lol
