Yep that is why magic could come back at 36 and was still showing off the ball handling skills.

Mourning was also playing against real live centers and doing damage, we've all seen what Dwight turns into when faced with someone as big or bigger than himself that can come close to him athletically. He goes from "Superstar" to a good center real quick, meanwhile Zo was going against Shaq, Robinson, Hakeem, Ewing etc. imagine this bum nikka trying to score against Zo, someone who dealt with Shaq as good as you could ask
Dwight playing in that era makes zero all-star teams, zero all-nba teams, zero defensive teams.
Zo > Dwight
A role player from the 90s like Armen Gilliam would be an Allstar in today's era of basketball.

No you aren't/weren't. They weren't playin this shyt in any public avenue.
not true at all. if you have the quickness and agility and ability to comprehend when to use each counter move. you can do it. its not about being taught since you were 5 years old. thats not necessary when we're talking about star professional players. what makes them better than most is they can see a move and mimick said move in a matter of days/weeks.
The reason dwight cant do what hakeem/pat ewing did. no matter how much they show him is because he doesnt have the hoop iq to know when to use which move in which scenario.
if you dont believe me. exhibit A. Andrew Bynum was as raw as they come. got tutored by possibly the greatest center ever (kareem). and he had his post moves down pat after a few years. dwight was in the nba working with pat ewing, hakeem, and others during the season and over the summer. didnt matter. some guys can comprehend when to use the counters others cant. bynum could.

I was sitting here when he was rolling up to get in the game, like I wonder if I could take him

I swear that was a Paul Pierce move if I ever seen one.
Anyone seen the Hakeem-LeBron workout videos they had in the early 2010's? Most unnaturally quick big man I've ever seen, especially in his prime
You could let David Robinson clear out on the baseline, you could let Shaq post through a double team or fronting, and Dwight was always open a foot or two above the rim, but Hakeem was still just as unstoppable while being able to keep a sense of unpredictability whenever he set up.

It makes no sense for someone his size to be able to move with such fluidity.
He is one of the post prophets
The feet and coordination man. If he was shorter dude could have been an Olympic figure skater.....that is how good his feet and agility is. It really is amazing when you think about it and shows how him and people like Barry Sanders are one of a kind.
