Ive obviously watched him a ton since coming to the Pels.

The way he catches passes with not only a huge radius, but soft soft hands. I don't think Ive ever seen a big man with as big of a radius, and with that GREAT of hands.


Let's also call "coordination" his ability to put the ball on the floor, and his soft touch around the rim. I really think he is unparalleled.

Maybe Olajuwon.

Im excluding quasi-wing players like DIrk

He is a lock HOF as long as he stays healthy. I have no reason to root for or against him. It is just obvious he will be an all-time great.

my season tickets are much closer to the floor this year, so obviously i can see things better. It's hard to put into words how great his hands are.

I honestly didn't think he'd be all that great in the NBA.

I now question my intelligence, and eyes....and sanity for that matter

If he bulks up a little more and develops more range, he'll gone down as the best PF ever.

Only three things can derail him: Injuries, attitude and effort. You can't predict the former and he hasn't shown any issues with the latter

Kareem was smooth as shite. Im not sure he was ever as mobile as AD is, though.

At the risk of feeling like Peej, go back and watch Wilt Chamberlain highlights. The guy was 50 years ahead of his time. Talk about a coordinated big man... he played point guard for the Globetrotters at 7'.

I mean, Hakeem is a top 5-6 center of all time and his coordination was arguably his best attribute. The potential is there for AD, but he's only in year 3.

You want me to say he's Hakeem's equal right now?

He ain't on Hakeems level yet. I hope you aren't insinuating that.

Duncan is up there. More robotic tho, doesn't have AD's fluidity.

Garnett is up there. Im think Chris Webber too maybe


AD23 just caught an alley oop I dont think anyone in the NBA catches. I said that about another one earlier. Wow.

Chamberlain has a great argument, I'm sure, but all I've ever seen from him is that like hour long video that was released recently. How is anyone gonna judge that versus seeing AD every night?
