Yeah, I don't understand why every time he gets the ball he puts it down below his waist before rising. Shaun always mentions this.
FTL FTL FTL, tbh.Quote:

Didn't get enough responses in your other thread?
Gym workout pocket dupe. You're kind of being bossy, though. Kind of like me, tbh. There are quite a few "Boban" threads, so no sweat.Quote:

It's not like he's been tearing up european leagues for 5-6 years before he came to the NBA.
And yes, he brings the ball down a lot. That's what bigs who haven't been coached properly at an early age do.
He looks like he will be able to learn and improve ... hopefully his body is able to take some more years.
you truly have no clue or concept how silly you sound, friend.Quote:

"Throw it down big fella" *Bill Walton voice
Wish he was still announcing so I could just hear once when hes excited after a dunk "Boban is the best player in basketball"Quote:

Dude needs to just dunk it everytime
Actually, I believe his go to shot is going to be that 10-12 foot bank shot from the left side. Everyone has to cut off the paint so they overplay some to the high side so when he spins clockwise and shoots it is next to impossible to stop and he has a very nice touch.Quote:

If he keeps it above his head, and gets hacked, the refs are going to call a lot more of them.
He's aware of it. I heard him in an interview talk about how the Spurs had been working with him, and one of the things he mentioned was not bringing the ball down. It's just going to take some time. The thing that bugs me even more than that is when he stands out at the top of the circle like he's setting a pick, but there's no defender anywhere around him to pick. He's just a great big pylon.

Has great size and a real nice touch around the basket. Needs to go away from pussy euro-ball and get physical. Seemed early in the season he improved keeping the ball high but bad habits return. I think he'll be fine.
For someone with his touch around the basket, he has very hard hands. Not just this last game, either; for several of his games I have seen him fumble rebounds that he should have had easily...the ball just seems to bounce off of his hands.
I agree. He needs a body shape like Bobo's.Quote:
