It's funny to think about after witnessing BRoy take over the game inthe fourth quarter, but LaMarcus issuch a big key to the Blazers gettingto the championship. He is such a physical specimen in his combinationof length, speed and agility. The NBA has quite a few 6'11" power forwards,but how many can match his speedover 94 feet ? KG ? Duncan ? Sheed ?Certainly not Dirk. I find it unusualthat he has the great touch in his top of the reach jumper to go with the length, speed and agility. Hencethe nickname "SMOOTH". He even speaks with that smooth Texas drawl. I can't wait for the inevitable8-10 lbs of core muscle that his frequent forays into the weight roomwill produce. That will allow him toadd strength to his package, and turnthe finesse finishes into thunder dunks.Add the left wing face up power dribble to the righty hook, to his back to the basket version of Hakeeem's dream shakeand Smooth has all the tools!
