You wonder why people don't take you seriously. Let me explain an apparently elusive concept to you. When a player's offensive game tends to develop farther from the basket, their likelihood of offensive rebounds dwindles.
What Dwight Howard being a poor free throw shooter has to do with that, I haven't the foggiest. Sure, offensive rebounds matter. But you have to contextualize them. Moses Malone was notorious for purposely padding his offensive rebound numbers. Defensive rebounds, on the other hand, are a necessity. Could Dirk get more offensive rebounds? Sure. Would it hinder the Mavs offense if he made such an endeavor a priority? Absolutely.
