My bad takes aside. Whomever taught doke to power dribble away from basket to give space go back in and dunk is a hero. Doke's footwork around the rim is like a 10 times better than it used to be. [Reply]

His short area footwork and leverage has always been pretty good. More than 2 steps and he went from pretty good to laughably bad.
Now he's a fucking manimal. Dude's doing shit defensively I haven't seen in a long time. Aldrich was probably the last guy that could defend that wide of a swath down the lane but he couldn't physically do what Azabuke can.
EDIT: And my God he took a beating. They just beat the ever living fuck out of him - he did make it out with all his teeth, unlike Aldrich did once). Dude deserves credit for taking it right at those dudes, because he took a beating. [Reply]

His footwork is awesome. I still cringe any time he starts to dribble. [Reply]
Also it is hard as fuck when you are working out that much and a college kid to not eat pizza and other trash. They prob gave him some legal meth to cut his appitite down but still seeing other kids eating trash and he lost that weight. Good for him. [Reply]
