[QUOTE="Lugnutz, post: 6101141, member: 603567"] Umm yes [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif[/IMG] The problem is, Rasheed never wanted to be physical. He would never fight for position in the post, even though he had the length and strength. When he did post up, which wasn't very often and in the high post at that, he wouldn't back down his defender and just shoot a turn around fade away. He has such good size, strength, and length. he also has a high release and nobody can simply block his shot. If he were to have used his talents to post up and use his outside shooting as an equalizer, he could've been the 3rd best big man in this era behind Shaq and Duncan. He also never wanted to engage in contact and block out and fight for rebounds or even try for an offensive board. He could've easily been a 20-10 guy. He was also a pretty good defender without using much effort. The fact is, he's 35 now and isn't going to change. He is who he is. A 7 foot PF with a boatload of skills who is content to wait at the 3 point line and fire whenever the ball comes his way. [/QUOTE]
