All that’s missing from this dude’s repertoire is a ring, but from a Fantasy standpoint, the only championships owners care about are their own, and if you have LBJ is tow, chances are pretty damn fine you’re bagging your share of titles.

Dampier’s illness (apparently related to numbness in his arm, which sounds life-threatening scary, but his reaction was nonchalant — “I just had a little numbness in my arm,” he said) appears to be behind him, and the beefy centre is once again snaggin’ boards and swattin’ shots.

Go ahead and get him in your lineup for next week — and maybe use this as a learning experience concerning your league format preference for next season.

For those that prefer to run isolation or penetrate and kick, EA has you covered there as well with multiple offensive sets that can be called by holding down the left bumper. You’re supplied with turbo (right trigger) and a collection of spin moves and crossovers mapped to the right stick to help you break down your defender.
