Dwight Howard Gets Lessons From Hakeem Olajuwon

Dwight Howard is often criticized for not exactly having a wide array of moves on the offensive end of the floor to choose from. But if that trend should continue this season, it certainly won't be for a lack of trying.

Howard spent a few days training with Hakeem Olajuwon this summer, and although he isn't playing in any game situations in the following video clip, it's clear that he's a quick study where Olajuwon's signature moves are concerned.



While this may not be as impressive as Kobe Bryant (a guard) enlisting the help of Olajuwon to improve his post game the way he did a year ago, the fact that Howard took the time to train with the Dream shows his commitment to the game, and to improving his place in it.

Magic fans just hope that when things get going for real in a few short weeks, Howard remembers to implement Olajuwon's teachings.
