    Yeah. His length and body control is incredible. He had a similar one from the top of the key in earlier this year. This also answers your other question about why he isn't getting to the line more: with his length and body control, he just simply avoids the contact.

    It's beautiful to watch, but the difference between him being good and great will be his ability to draw contact.

    I hate that aspect of basketball - the single most important skill for a superstar is the ability to throw himself into someone else once he gets inside.

    He'll score 5-10 ppg from the free throw line if he learns to do that.

There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”
