Yeah... Akeem will only help out the biggest name and tell Lebron, Dwight, Amare and company they aren't worthy.
Moronic!
I actually missed Lebron's name, and Howard already has Ewing..Amare couldn't even touch a basketball..none of the other guys mentioned are notables though..
If it was so simple, you would see it a lot more often..not everybody can get the same treatment..
I see fans always asking for a guy on their team to work with a past legend..it doesn't just happen..
Be real... Akeem even did interviews explaining that Kobe actually asked him last year for the get together. All these guys have schedules that are insane and they were never able to coordinate it. Akeem said he was honored to help and that nobody has asked him before. If Dwight, Lebron, or some scrub asked him for help I have no doubts a guy of Akeems character would oblige.
Dwight/Lebron, yes..I don't think a guy that isn't top-tier could get the same attention..I guess it's just my opinion..
Non-superstars in the NBA have a much different schedule than the top-tier guys..less appearances, less meetings, less shoots for TV..why haven't any of them reached out to him before?..
Actually Hasheem Thabeet also received lessons from him around the same time. http://dimemag.com/2009/09/hakeem-ol...sheem-thabeet/
It really is about willingness and ability to learn. ohh and Kobe was not to bad in the post to begin with either.
Thabeet was for obvious cultural reasons..
Because they dont have the drive or work ethic to do all they can do to maximize their skills.
Gasol (M) was ed slapped by benja last night.
I can't believe he is the youngest to reach 24,000 points.
Cuz he's MSP(MOST SELFISH PLAYER in the world)
And, Fakers are sucked without Gasol.
Good morning, wangi!Cuz he's MSP(MOST SELFISH PLAYER in the world)
And, Fakers are sucked without Gasol.
O & 41!

My reaction exactly, he'd help Kobe out but he wouldn't help Lebron out
Regardless of Hakeem, a SF who is 6'8" 260 with a post game as ty as his isn't doing everything he can to win.
Sit on it, DUNCAN.
Kobe. That is all.
Eat it, Morg.
Nah, I wouldn't say that; Benga had 5 ps 13 rbds. Gasol (M) had a pretty solid game. 10 pts 7 rebds.

Ever since AI came back, Gasol's numbers have gone down. He's not getting plays called for him in the post anymore; most of his shots are putbacks.
Once they get things settled down in Memphis in a few weeks, I'm sure Marc's numbers will be back up.
Kobe is arguably a Top 5 post player in the NBA right now, skill wise. He basically has the option now to take bigger defenders off the dribble, or post up smaller defenders. When LA gets Gasol back he'll be unguardable.
Nah, Gasol was on last night. Terrible defense. Sloppy, soft offense.
Of course those numbers won't be W's. Someone's gotta rebound on that team. Randolph can't be bothered.
He lost interest early for some reason.
Marc just hasn't been the same since AI's back...immediate drop off the day AI came back.
Imagine sharing the rock with AI, ZBo, Mayo and Gay.
Or he just simply came back down to earth after a fluke start.
DUNCAN.
tee, hee.
Terrible defense? mBenga had 5 points. Lamar fouled out with 3 points? That's 8 total points. How much better could he do defensively?
Grizz were killed by Kobe (Mayo) and Artest (Randolph)
I think he had a pretty good game...they just weren't looking to him for scoring. I think he had 1 post play the entire game, 1 bad shot and the rest he got off garbage plays.
1 rock and 4 ballhogs ahead of him ain't easy.
Marc should just learn his place as the 5th best player on that team.
