    Been working on this for a while now. Browsing on Youtube revealed a serious lack of decent LA videos, so I was like what the hell... I'll do something in my free time. All footage is from the previous 08-09 season.

    PS- Windows Movie Maker --> garbage.

    Thanks for that treat. Nice shout to KP at the end.

    The guy is unstoppable when he commits to making a move down in the post and he is one of the fastest big men on the break in the L. I cannot wait to see Dre pushing it with LMA and Batum on the wings.

    Nice! The guy is so talented, so athletic and so fast.

    The odd thing is that he showed no statistical difference between his second and third season. I feel like his defense got a little better, but it's odd to see so little progress.

    Good vid! Love the music choices.

    Watching that, I think the Rasheed comparisons are a little off-base. Like Rasheed, he has a very good jumper, he's a very good defender, and his rebounding is a little disappointing. But he doesn't have (the young) Wallace's ridiculous athleticism. He's more similar to Tim Duncan in a lot of ways: big hands, fundamentally very sound, and long limbs to make up for decent-but-not-eyepopping hops.

    The only thing stopping him from getting more recognition is a bigger mouth and a greater commitment to rebounding. Get those, and he'd be KG with a better post game.

    Think of an opposing player trying to drive on a frontline of Batum, Aldridge and Oden. Scary.

    yuyuza, Nice Work! I'm going to rep you for not using some shitty obnoxious rap shit music like every other goddamn highlight video on youtube, whether domestic or foreign.

    Thanks bra!

    :cheers:

    lol. Nice point. Aldridge's game really lends itself to classical music anyway.

    Funny that our two best players might be the least "highlight reel" stars in the game. They both have some fantastic plays, but most of the time it's really just extremely well-executed text book moves. Particularly Aldridge.

    Oden and Fernandez are really our "Sportscenter" players.

    Thanks for the props, guys.

    He has the ability to play aggressively and attack the hoop, but he just doesn't do it as often as he needs to. One other aspect of his game that we will most definitely see more of, is transition buckets, with Miller pushing the tempo. Aldridge is usually the first guy down on offense, but often gets turned away because our PG is reluctant to make the risky pass. That one play against Utah at the 1:50 mark shows his speed to its fullest extent. I have no reservations in claiming that he is the fastest big man in the game right now.

    Nice work, the classical music gives it a dramatic flare.

    The season can't get here fast enough!

    I liked the music. Good choice of clips. The clip where Aldridge beats everyone down the floor, gets the pass from blake, and then dunks it is amazing. He's so fast.

    Yea. Very limited features and not very user-friendly.

    Even with 3GB ram, I found difficulty in running other programs while editing video.
