If it's a shoulder injury, then dunking is obviously one of the areas that would be severely affected. That said, his current shotblocking average is the best of his career...so what's going on with Kwame? The answer is that he takes the ball up strong maybe one in ten times. He should put two hands on the ball and dunk over 90% of the Cs in the NBA. He doesn't. He shoots layups and one-handed dunks that don't fall sometimes. I love his game, but he needs to work on that. |

He doesn't go strong because he's trying to avoid contact. He tries to avoid contact because he has no confidence in his foul shooting. Until and unless he ever develops a level of comfort at the line, I think we can expect more of the same from Kwame: lots o' misses from zero feet. |

| I love Kobe's game. I can see him showing the trust he had for his teammates. |

Well, Kwame's lack of confidence isn't just in his FT shooting, but I'll admit that that may be a problem. If you think about it though, Kwame SHOULD be drawing contact because fouls on bigs is a big deal. It makes driving easier for everyone else, makes the bigs more tentative, and makes the backcourt players work even harder.
As for Shaq? He didn't care if he missed FTs. Dunking in someone's face is demeaning, and he knows that. |
