I know it's a bit late for this, but good ol' boxouts rarely receive the love they deserve. Make sure to watch Howard's destruction of Agau under the basket.

Remember being impressed by Markus' box out live. I'm sure that some coach noticed it too (either live or on film), and gave Markus the proper recognition.
Great stuff Andrei. Didn't see Markus' box out live but that was a high IQ and gritty play
This is a great post. Thanks. I sometimes think Markus is in it for himself more than the team. I know that is not true but sometimes it feels that way. I love seeing him use his entire body to move the big guy and just clear room for his team.
Great post.
On the other hand, not such great boxing out with the game on the line in the expiring seconds of regulation.
The Hausers teamed up to box the heck out of the same player. MU dodged a RPG, not just a bullet.
Markus had a great boxout here.
But watch the overtime last possession....
