Right now they are working a lot with him on finishing (not necessarily dunking) and that hook shot. But yes, they have said before that were working on his dunking. In general, they are just working a lot on his aggressiveness. That's why he's spending so much time with Newman.
I really thought I saw him have a very weak one handed dunk during the lakers game
He made some monster dunks back than when he was playing in Italy, the guy can dunk, so i guess either he changed his game cause of his bad FT percenteage, or it's some kind of instructions on how the coach wants him to play. Eitherway i was just checking his FG percentage and his PPG and i would be more then happy to have him on my team, expecially because he is more defensive player then offensive. Allthough with his height it would be great lift for the team if he would slam the ball from time to time. :depressed
Thanks for the information.
That would explain the lack of articles.Quote:

P.S. Thank you for answering a simple question without mentioning mountain kings etc.
despite the fervor to the contrary....a dunk is only worth two points. you don't get any extra credit or style points just because you dunk it. One think Marcus said though, and I don't know if he came up with it or the Great Slovenian Mountain King did, I agree with. I think Rasho should go to the basket more to get free throw opportunities. He is not the greatest FT shooter but he could draw fouls on opposing players.

"Hello subject, I am the Great Slovenian Mountain King. Everything Marcus Bryant says about Radosoft and Slovenia is correct.
Also, be sure to check out my theme song. It's smokin'."
http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/a.../avamarks1.bmp Seanmarksus Bryant - I think you're confusing yourself with yourself.
Slovenly maybe, Slovenian no.
When he played in Minnesota he was 2nd dunker in the team. Also when he play here in Slovenia and Italy before he went in NBA he dunk more often .
I dont now what he is doing now, why he not dunking anymore??
But who cares, it is important that he hit the shots and that Spurs are wining!
This no-dunk rap people are pinning on Rasho is pure "That's (macho balla) Entertainment" BS.
For every dunk Rasho doesn't do, I'd take 2 more blocks and 5 more RB per game, and why not avg a small double-double?
Fuck his non-dunks. Up his stats line.
As I said last summer, Rasho's second year will be much better than his first year with Spurs. Same with Brent. And the years after that, he, TD, TP, MG, BB will have such a rapport they'll be passing to each other with their eyes closed.
No, SD. I have returned to my Slovenian, not slovenly, roots.

Isn't that the king puppet from Mr. Rogers? :lol
Yes, unfortunately when Slovenia was part of communist Yugoslavia things were not so good and the Great Mountain King of Slovenia had to moonlight as "King Friday" on Mister Roger's Neighborhood to make ends meet. But those days are over and now the Great Mountain King of Slovenia presides over a peaceful and prosperous land....
Was that back when Tito was the Marshal in town? :)
I'm sorry, but :lolQuote:

Because Puppets are soft and can't jump, also. :)
Well...if they have had Rasho working on that mini-skyhook lately...maybe thats why he hasnt been dunking much.
He might just be trying out the moves they have him do in practice in the game time situation. You know...if its on his mind to do it and do it well...I wouldn't blame him for doing the mini hook instead of a dunk.
And I dont think most people want him to dunk more because its flashy...they want him to dunk more because Dunks are just about the closest thing to a sure thing as you can get. Quick layups and mini-hook shots will tend to roll out more often than a dunk...and you wont draw the foul as often if you dont attempt to dunk.
I already addressed this topic previously. How about something fresh?

Pop Walton: "Throw it DOWN, big man!"
Whether he hits it or not, you don't want your center exclusively living off of what Rasho got last night.
Centers who play with Duncan are parked up in the key. What else are they supposed to do?
