I'm surprised opposing teams fans don't fear him more. I truely believe he is nowhere near his ceiling and look at what he's doing already. Glad he's on our team.

Nah he hasn't arrived yet. He still needs a jump shot and free throw shooting, better ball handling, dont get me started about his lack of post skills, needs to do something else other then dunking,has bad foot odor. doesn't box out well at all, relies to much on his athletic ability to block shots, not good in clutch situations, got swept in his first playoff appearance, and for crying out loud he is just a glorified David Lee!!!!!! Man so much overhype.

Seriously, he doesn't need a jumper from more than ten feet. I don't want him any further than that away from the basket. Maybe develop further a short turnaround J. That and free throw shooting (maybe taking a little better care of the ball) are all he needs offensively, IMO.

3 20/20 games in a 5 game series. Not to mention one of the other games included 8 blocks. Ridiculousness.

30 years since its happened; pretty damn impressive; as well as the company he's keeping with all these records and feats.
