Why aren't we getting Kanter & Favors to work with Legends?!?!

Kanter - Kanter has a perfect frame to move people out of the way. His problem is he doesn't understand how to create space and how to get his shot off. Malone mastered this at the end of his career because he could not jump anymore. If Malone could teach Kanter his baby hook underneath where he wouldn't even jump but always got it off....Kanter would become very good. Kanter need to release the ball quicker underneath. His arm length is not the greatest. But if he learns to create space than release quickly he would be hard to stop. His jumping ability is not as important for his scoring needs. Rebounding it helps him.

Those people making fun of Karl Malone teaching Kanter how to play either only recently became jazz fans or never really watched Karl Malone play or simply don't have a clue. Karl Malone had a go to move where he started on the low left block and bullied his way across the lane to shot a baby jump hook that was unstoppable for 10 years. Karl scored 20,000 points with that move. If Kanter learned how to force his way across the lane and shot that baby hook consistently he would be unstoppable. Throw in the up and under every once in awhile to keep people honest and you have a 20 and 10 player. If I were Kanter that is the go to move he needs to develop.

It is nice to know that I'm not the only one who remembers that move. I agree with you. Karl needs to teach Kanter that move.

Great post. I think they players need to have similar physical abilities. I just watched a interview with Hakeem talking about his post moves. He said his post moves only work with players that have the agility. He says they are not for the traditional big men. They are for the more agile and quicker big men who can pull off spin moves quickly, fade away etc.

I think Favors is close and it could only help. But Kanter needs to call Karl Malone quickly. If he learns to score in the post than his confidence will come with his outside shot. His defense is already solid 1 on 1. His help D will come in time.

LOL.. yes that's it. But whether it'll happen is another story.

BTW: Your signature, if someone fails to land a plane and it blows up, does that constitute fatality?

There is always failures that lead up to "fatality"(which of course can mean death or just mean your career is over if nothing is changed). So the person that was flying that plane had chances to change things but he obviously didn't than DIED! LOL
So yes there is always steps to be taken before. Whether its your health, career or your real death so it doesn't become "fatal".
