Talk:Michael Olowokandi

message: I've rewritten various sections of this article, especially those that reference things like "strong play" and "good numbers."  An unbiased view of Olowokandi's play is that he was a bad player and never had a strong season.  As such, I included his FG% and turnovers per game to his 2002-03 numbers to paint a more complete picture.  Also, I've removed the reference to his "below market value" signing with the Minnesota Timberwolves; by almost any measure, Olowokandi was quite dramatically overpaid in every season (except his minimum-salary final season).  Again, this is a pretty neutral point of view.  The article as written before sounded like it was written by someone quite sympathetic to Olowokandi.  If there is debate on his skill level and effectiveness, I will begin linking to sites with more advanced metrics. Hpanic7342 (talk) 21:31, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
