Yeah, it's a little awkward only because you aren't used to seeing a guy his size move like that.

Google James Harden or Lebron or Isiah Thomas. To your point though 7' 3" dudes get a different whistle. I think he lifting his pivot before the ball comes down, like Kahwi.

i think he has to do a lot of training to improve his balance. it just always seems a little off. there's a certain lack of smoothness in his moves.

He looks fine. He's 7 foot 3.

Almost everyone on twitter is saying how crazy smooth KP looks on those moves, and Shamm out here saying he looks awkward :lol:

So thankful I have KP on my fantasy keeper league team. Though I did trade away Giannis to get him, but KP primed for a big year.

i forgot you can't say anything about him. the same reason he can't post up anyone is the same reason these moves look awkward. being that tall makes his balance worse than most players. he needs to work on it. not that he's hopeless but yes, it's something he needs to improve. it's why they're focusing on improving his core.

God Janis will fix it.
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

The refs need to call that.

And just because he gets away with this doesn't mean that KP will.

I think KP does things he hasn't done a lot of, so sometimes he needs to improve his rhythm and timing. He does look a bit off sometimes, although I thought he wasn't so bad here. Haha - Dirk looked worse.

Remember Kareem? I thought he always looked in sync. He must have done the same shot 10,000 times.

Like buttah.
