It's just frustration with him. He could be so great if he would just try hard. That's what's most frustrating. He had the ability to be one of the best centers of all time based off physical gifts.
I was just about to type this. Since I played the 5 when I was younger, I've always payed more attention to the bigs than any other position. Dude is such a damn freak athletically, and no doubt be on of the goats if he just put in the work. He just seemed to not give a fukk. Kobe said the same thing about Shaq not putting in work, but Shaq was so damn dominant it didn't make a difference.

Because he'd rather be a clown than a legit basketball player. Shaq was putting up way better numbers and people said he was too busy being a clown to win and had too many outside interest. Shaq was a beast though. Dwight not so much. He's like a glorified Kevin Willis. 15 & 12 are not superstar numbers.
Perfect comparison.

He a bytch and everyone that worked wit him says it. Hakeem tried to tutor him one offseason and just couldn't get it to him that having high school level post game won't get you to legend status. Also this nikka :cape: for a 16 year old girl :scust:

Its only because he is a happy person. Nothing makes motherfukkers angrier than a person who is winning in life, and acts like it. Athletes have to walk around like brooding a$$holes to get respect. Of course him smiling means he doesn't care. nikka is corny as fukk though. and he has always produced in the playoffs. The LA situation he was coming off of a serious back surgery and had a torn labrum. Still put up the same numbers Andrew Bumnum, put up in his best season

this is the answer


in a league where nikkas are killing themselves trying to win a ring... he out here fooling around, halfway not even caring, barely trying, and laughing about it all like "oh well i'm still a winner"


white people let kobe off on raping white bytches cause his will to win

dwight is the DIRECT opposite of that

I don't understand this thought process. How do you know how much he cares?

I think it's amazing that you question people on "how do you know how much he cares"... well "how do you know he is a happy person?"

You realize that people saying he doesn't care because he's smiling is right down the same lane as you assuming he's happy because he acts goofy all the time. You don't know how happy that man is.

cause we go off what we see/hear/read/process... this nikka is losing and smiling... losing and joking... having teammates/coaches/execs/reporters all tell us the same thing... and him in his own words, when confronted with the rumor, saying he's not gonna let losing and not winning, etc etc ruin his life or make him not have fun

So how should he be? the opposite? miserable?

Fair point. I just don't think we can quantify desire

yea... when you lose... you should be a little miserable

imagine if cam newton stepped to the podium cracking jokes and smiling after the SB loss


now plenty of dudes hit the club after that... shyt nikkas on the heat went to the mavs celebration party... nobody cared


but how you losing games and smiling and joking on court and at the press conference?



but don't think that's the only reason


going to management to get your coach fired.. then lying about it 5 seconds after the coach told the media the truth... then getting mad about getting caught in THAT lie... but not about losing... well there you have it



people keep telling you WHY.... don't agree with it... but that doesn't change the WHY
