These cats won't even goto the goat Kareem. What makes you think they'll go to a lesser player?

Every player should learn the skyhook. You can't block what can't be reached.
Hakeem's game is a one off, to be 6"10 and have that level of coordination and footwork is pretty much once every 30 years type of thing.
Duncan's game is fundamental, but he has great footwork too, not Hakeem level but still great nonetheless. These dudes gotta take ballet or some shyt before they work on their post game, something that focuses them on getting their feet in check. Building a big man's post game is easy if you put the work in, build everything off the two footed hook shoot, do Mikan drills and then work on counter moves after you get those down.
These dumb nikkas want to work on moves, but not the actual weapon those moves are intended for, which is usually a hook shot. Hakeem's entire post game was built off getting his hookshot off, all those counters he developed were when people tried to take the hook away from him. A great post game is basically human chess, you do a drop step + hookshot then the next time down the floor the dude will try to take the hook away so you counter with the same motion of the hookshot, but you up fake and step through.
It requires too much thought for these dudes :Bigdummy:

They are pretty close and Tim is more accomplished. He likely won't catch Kareem in points (in part due to the fact that Pop cut his minutes) but statistically they are on par with each other, assuming Tim Duncan plays another 2 years when it is all said and done, even if dude doesn't win another ring they are very close in a lot of categories. Now obviously Hakeem had an ummatchable skillset and elite athleticism on top of his basketball smarts, but if you look at their careers side my side, this is no where near the outlandish statement you think it is.

This is another cat that people should run to see.
He used his butt and elbows to create so much space for his shot. A rack of perimeter players could learn from him!!

I'm more interested with Duncan working with McGee on the defensive end.
where Deke at?

Dude has one of the wettest jump shots of all time and he had no hesitation in his game. Melo would benefit greatly from his dude. He already has a Dantleyesque shot, he just has to work on the little things.
I think it's more of having Timmy's brain and confidence.. You can't really teach that... But I do agree he will only help.
