Since we mentioned Hakeem in the last post.

Hakeem Olajuwon’s most significant contribution to basketball is that the basketball world adopted his illegal move to a legal move.
His signature “jump step” is now recognized as a legal move from High School to the Pros.

It is significant because he made a legal way to use “3 Steps” instead of the 2 that had been on the books since the beginning of the rules of basketball.

A tidbit from Draftazoid the high school basketball referee.

Why is that hating on Hakeem?

That is a significant contribution to basketball. I know he won a couple of championships (thanks to Jordan playing baseball).
But his jump step will be with basketball forever.
I still cannot believe that High School basketball changed their rules allowing the jump step a few years back.
That is a heck of a contribution.
No hate. Just a fact.

We wont win to many games with our offense this bad. Its not the players, its the offense they are running.. It looks like they are just out there running around, like a pick up game. There is no flow to it. That is Flip’s job. the ball just goes to the best shooter on the floor at the time, everyone clears out, and watch to see if he can get a basket. last i checked, we didnt have Lebron, we cant play that kind of basketball. If Wall didnt take over the game late and do his thing, we would been blown out AGAIN.

but losses like the one in Orlando remind me of how valuable Gil is. cud he have won the game for us? probably not. but it would have been a different game. Players respect Gil’s shot as well as his quickness. Gil knows how to split defenders and get to the rim better than just about any PG in the NBA. Wall will have to learn these thing if he is to become as good a PG as Gil is. And if you think Wall is a better PG than Gil right now, you know nothing about basketball.

jordan created the forearm shiver which was only allowed to be used by him on lesser inferior athletes who he didn’t need any more of an advantage on.

Hakeem would have still won one of the 2 championships if jordan had stayed and it wouldn’t have been with Clyde Drexler. Do you really think Bill Cartwright Scott Williams Bill Wennington and Stacey King could have guarded Hakeem????? even if you tried putting Horace Grant or Rodman on him they would have been too short.

This is where the foundation for the home stand begins.
The house of cards has to have a sturdy foundation to stand under the turmoil and pressure! We only have 42 chances to make this reality happen and it all starts with our big men acting like big men! Once we control the trenches we can branch out on the perimeter. We have excellent high screen and pop players such as Kirk,Nick,Wall and Agent 9 to do damage. Coach should have 12 hot pick plays to use at his disposal to take advantage of these highly proficient mid-range players! The three point specialist are Martin,Young,Wall and Agent 9 when the defense wants to stay in the box close to the basket! Fast breaking should be our most prized secret and used all the time with the speed we have, so I expect Wall to be full metal jacket toward the basket all the time!
We have no excuse for not taking a win and finishing the games just like in the first three preseason games. A win is a win no matter how ugly it may become so we fans desire it and would really appreciate it! My player of the game could very well be Lester Hudson because when microwave catches fire he is unstoppable! Good Luck!!

@ Mr. Know It All

I’d say comparing me to draftazoid is a compliment. Thank you.

You have completely missed my point with Mike Brown. And you actually used examples to support my point.

When the 97-99 Wizard had nobody worthy to remember, Mike Brown’s defense stunk.

When he went to the Pacers, Spurs, and Cavs, they had players that were very good defensively and thus executed his systems very well. Hello, Tim Duncan in his prime?

If Mike Brown came back to Washington TODAY and tried to execute his plans (as head coach, as assistant – doesn’t matter), the team’s defensive stats will stink again. Do you know why? Because this team doesn’t have any notable defensive players except McGee (and that’s a stretch for me to say).

Comment from bullets_fusion

And before anyone claims that Mike Brown was the sole reason on getting the Spurs a championship with his *defense* and whatnot, let me just say that the Spurs won it before he came along (in 1999) and after he left (in 2005).

In addition, if the Wiz had players like a LeBron (on defense), Varejao, and Larry Hughes, then maybe Mike would generate a better record than Flip.

Wall may not be able to “out-speed” the PGs on the other side. Lou “Dub” and Jrue are darn fast too.

Wall and Griffin have had at least 1 bad shooting game and 1 good shooting game. Turner did well in his debut (against Miami no less) and then had 2 forgettable outings. I’ll not be surprised if Turner plays well.

That has been the thinking in Washington basketball and a huge part of the organization loser mentality. Get rid of the best player on the team if it is perceived by certain people as politically incorrect. If the Lakers had parted ways with Kobe during his poor decisions, would they had won a title? Same thing with Paul Pierce. Players are human and are not above human issues and problems. Once the organization stop shipping the issues out just to be politically correct than they can start building a championship contender. When Mr. Pollin got Weber out of town they never recovered until Gilbert Arenas, Jamison, Hughes, Haywood, and Stevenson hit the floor some 7years later. If Arenas wants out that would be a different situation, but to ship him out just because you don’t like how he acts is totally ridiculous. Washington NBA franchise will always be below mediocre until they take care of those issues in house.

He wants out, it’s just that his salary is too large. As soon as he’s back he’ll say something else ridiculous and we’ll say, “it’s just Gilbert”. It ain’t even about politics, its about an idiot that needs pschological help. His only savior is basketball. what is he going to do once the lights are out and his career is over? he needs to get help while he still can. I feel sorry for the kid.

For those that play fantasy basketball on yahoo, you better read what your favorite center from the DC area did this off-season (no, I’m not talking about McGee. I’m talking about Hibbert).

Roy Hibbert lost weight and improved on his patience in the low post. I think most that follow him knew that.

But did you know his mentor was Bill Walton, a very good big man during the 70s before foot problems derailed his career?

So, dcbutler mentioned Dwight Howard working with Olajuwon (HoFer) in the summer. And Hibbert worked with Walton (HoFer) in the summer. And McGee worked with Team U.S.A. and got cut, not once, but twice — and then he worked with his mom.

I see this coaching thing we’ve been discussing is going nowhere. One reason I know it’s going nowhere is because I said your starting to sound like Draftazoid & you took it as a compliment!!!
You feel like you have a point, I feel like you have no point. My comparition of Brown is to Flip as a head coach but you keep referring to what Brown did as an assistant?(Which by the way is pretty stellar!!!) Here’s some news for you…….. Brown’s Head coaching record is pretty stellar too.
You focused on one instance that was over ten years ago while Brown was still in a learning process. You can’t just say he stunk in Wash then overlook what he did with the Spurs & Pacers.(By the way both of those teams he helped coach in Washington had winning records) But that’s beside the point. The point is he has a better resume than Flip and your original question was…… “If Flip Saunders is so bad for the Wizards, then who do you suggest as a replacement that is available” …….I’ve given you my answer & it was a darn good one (I kept it clean SportsWiz)
Brown has the experience of building a team around a young superstar (Lebron) Which would be very similar in what we have here in DC with Wall. As far as Defense goes, I know you didn’t bring up Larry Hughes (that name sounds familiar, Oh yeah! we had him her already) That’s the best you could do? Larry Hughes playing time was spotty at best & Varejao or should I say King of the Flop! (and I’m not talking about his hair) Was never a shot blocker or great defender, he’s just annoying.
Trust me Brown’s Defense wasn’t anchored around those two. Oh & don’t think I forgot Lebron. He’s just recently coming into his own as a defender. He only has the one move where he chases you down from behind and blocks your shot.
And last I checked Cleveland didn’t have Tim Duncan either, but managed to somehow become a great defensive team. Cleveland didn’t have any great shoot blockers on those teams, which in the Wizard case we do. (well not great yet, more like up & coming. (Javale had 7 blocks vs. the Hawks) With all the info I’ve given you , I probably still haven’t changed your mind so I just have a peace offering to you……… there’s a bridge in Brooklyn I’m trying to sell, slightly used…… So how much you want for it ?

But all jokes aside bullets_fusion or Fusey as they call you. My real peace offering is that, If my predictions of wins (35) comes out in the “Let’s Win Neal’s Money” game I’ll donate my winnings to you or a charity of your choice.
