the article mentions upper body over and over. personal the most impressive thing to me on oden is his solid fundamental footwork. is it perfect, no. but very very advanced for a kid his age. only to get better with more work and time. the ball thing, is it low yes. but i think some of it has to do with his postioning within his body. his elbow postioning is inconsitant, sometimes to high sometimes to low to hold a powerful grip. double teams and him feeling the defense play a role in this, but a guy with his physique needs to take charge. next time you watch shaq, watch his hand/elbow/ball postioning he is about as good as it gets most of the time when it comes to that. im nitpicking, but every player, even wilt/jordan/lebron have parts of their game that they elevated to make themselves better every season.
