What about the great rebounder Dejuan Blair?![]()
Seriously, outside of Tyson, no center for Dallas knows how to freaking box a man out for a rebound in the past 10 years. It's absolutely pathetic how bad Dalembert, Kaman, Mahinmi, and Haywood all have been at it. I mean that's one of your only jobs, and you can't simply put your body on a guy when rebounding? Ever since Dampier left the Mavs, they went from annually being one of the top teams in rebounding differential, to an average one (with Tyson), to absolute crap ever since.
Here is to Damp, and apologies for our lack of appreciation for you for all these years. You may have sucked, but you actually somehow sucked less than everyone except Tyson. And without your awful contract, we never would have gotten Tyson and the 2011 Championship![]()
He doesn't box out for crap either. Fantastic offensive rebounder though.
Unfortunately we didn't pay all that money for a lazy POS who "sets good picks" and "boxes out". If he would have just played up to his potential like he did during his GS contract season, the Mavs would have probably won les in 06 and 07.
Damp was just a horrible fit for them mavs imho. Even the younger Damp could barely run so it was no surprise he struggled to perform during his tenure as a mav playing alongside runners and gunners.
