i dont know how you guys are interpreting his post, but no where did he say that religious people are better than non-religious.



ANd he never once said that he nor Hakeem were better then anybody else. He just said that he liked him a lot because he was strong in his religious beliefs. I find nothing wrong with that at all.

Board cracks me up, Tyson and Amar'e are both going to work on getting better with low post moves. A weakness of both players and yet some board members are complaining about it?

Lebron worked out with Big O and it helped him get his third MVP. Its good to gain more knowledge.

This is something the Mavericks do and I m glad our franchise is starting to do it. If you have a player lacking in something bring in a specialty coach to better their weaknesses. At least its a sign we are moving in the right direction for once

Word, you got it, breh. As I previously stated, having some sensible fellow posters does wonders for these boards. I've found RealGM's boards great in this respect.

I have no idea where, but I read he charged something like 50k for however long he usually works with a guy.

Hopefully there will be some serious improvement if they are paying a decent amount

Now I can understand why Noah will be working out with Kareem.

Olajuwon probably doesnt have time for him.
