Now I get it! He's busy! Otherwise engaged! He's focusing his energy on predetermining the outcome of basketball games! and football games! and soccer games!

WAhy van Gundy did not say the simple thing to him - keep the ball up high and away from defenders while setting up. He had the ball taken from him so often cuz God apparently told him, "OOOOO, you are so BIG. Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell you." Missing freethrows and demanding the ball from his mates. Over years of playing, studying, and watching the geme, Dwight is too rich and young not to make God-given me-first..., always eternal. Blah, blah. Dwight (”superman” – typical Florida hyperbole). is so painfully young.
