Ewing/Hakeem

[iTs JUST zo]

I just got a random question for you guys.

 

Is it a slap in the face to Ewing for Dwight to train with Hakeem?

 

I think it is..and im just curious why you guys think it wouldnt be..

2 different players teaching Dwight different aspects of the game. As good as Ewing was, he was no where near the offensive player Hakeem was. I'm sure he would agree with you and I'm pretty sure Ewing takes no offense to it and is all for it.

Not even close. Hakeem can teach Dwight things Ewing can't. Maybe Hakeem is also a better teacher. Ewing shouldn't feel slighted because Dwight went to another teacher, he should actually be glad Howard did it.

I agree, I hope Ewing doesnt take it personal. But as a human being hes probably going to feel a little shame in Dwight going to Hakeem for advice and help with post moves which he tried to do. Thats how i'd feel I guess, hopefully Ewings a bigger man than me. lol

either way. Hakeem was the more talented player and his work with Bynum showed more progress than Ewings work with Dwight.

It's not a competition retard!!!

It's like getting tutored for a class you have trouble with. Would it offend the teacher if you were getting help? No. They would encourage it and be satisfied with your determination to try to pass the class.

No he shouldnt. Dwight is just trying to work on the one part of the game that he has yet to not be able to master under Ewing.

 

And I will say this cause it has been burning me up like crazy these days with all the talk about Ewing. People act like he has done nothing for Dwight at all. I think that is an absolute load of bull. Since the 07-08 season when Ewing came along these are all things that Dwight had never done before he had:

 

-Defensive player of the year two years in a row.

-NBA All-Star Starter 3 years in a row

-League leader in rebounds 3 years in a row.

-League leader in blocks 2 years in a row.

 

Now I know Ewing haters will automatically jump up and say that it's just Dwight's naturally progression as a player. But if were going to put all the negatives for his lack of progress on the offensive end on Ewing, the the positives for his play on the defensive end should be credited to Ewing's coaching as well.

 

Now I'm all for Dwight learning from Hakeem. I think he desperately needs it because Hakeem was one of the most skilled bigs of all time. I'm just very angry at Magic fans who seem to think that Ewing has done nothing for Dwight. They dont understand how lucky we've had it as fans knowing hes been teaching our best player.
