If u remember game 1, Hakeem kept the Rockets in it. Anyway his teammates dominated so much with Drexler and Horry. Do you really think Shaq was better than Hakeem back then come on.
A young Bigshow or Great Khali would have not only blocked that Shaq dunk, they'd have blocked it so hard that Shaq's arm would have been torn right out of its socket.
For the idiots who will say wrestling's fake, Bigshow was a NCCA Division 1 center you know nothings. Shaq committed an offensive foul on every play since he was too slow and fat to get by people. If you allow a young Bigshow to get away with unlimited offensive fouls, he'd KILL SHAQ.
Wrestling is "fake" in the sense that it is choreographed. They do of course get hurt, sometimes very badly, and hence wrestlers are sensitive about it being called fake. Regardless, Big Show playing college basketball has nothing to do with the fakeness of wrestling. Don't know about Big Show in college, but he's too fat to play now. Shaq stood 1 or 2 inches taller than him in the ring and definitely has a higher vertical (wrestling heights and weights are extremely exagerrated)
shaq= 28.0 ppg 12.5 rpg 6.3 apg 2.5 bpg on .595% in 95 finals....hakeem a volume shooter in 95 finals...
hakeem shot .483% in 95 finals,ending a streak a 10 straight series where he shot at least 50%....yet people think he dominated offensively.....they say hakeem had a great all around game,but shaq had more rebounds,assists and blocks in the 95 finals
if scoring the most and winning means you are the best,then mike is the best ever...but tell that to hakeem fans
shaqpopcorn34...No game winning baskets by Shaq, Hakeem had one. Outscored every game. Hakeem averaged FAR more scoring vs. Shaq than he did in the regular season. So much for worrying what Hakeem shot from the floor. Shaq on the other hand averaged LESS than what he scored during the season. 35 and 15 with the series on the line vs. shaq. In 17 playoff games during his title years, Ewing, DRob and Shaq couldn't outscore Hakeem even once. But at least Ewing and DRob didn't get swept,lol.
Don't know how anyone can say Hakeem couldn't do this or that. When MJ was gone Barkley, Malone, Stockton, Ewing, and Robinson didn't win a title because of him. That's 5 HOFers denied!
And Lakers fans, Shaq won titles when the other dominant big men were retired or past their prime. And Horry didn't lead the Rockets to 2 titles, Hakeem did. It's like saying Kukoc led the Bulls to 3 championships.
@86henry you mean too many offensive fouls to stop. Shaq is one of the most overrated centers to ever play the gam. I could get out there and score if they allowed me to get away with what shaq does.
REMEMBER, THIS IS HAKEEM AGAINST SHAQ, CIRC 1999. THEY DIDN'T HAVE HIGH DEF IN 1999 FOR UPLOADS. SO LEAVE NEGATIVE COMMENTS TO YOURSELF ABOUT THE QUALITY. IF YOU HAVE A BETTER COPY OF THIS BY ALL MEANS POST IT YOURSELF. OTHERWISE, SHUT UP!
@MrScott4020 ,Hakeem did win it,but whoever won that year was going to do so with just one great player,if the Knicks won, it wouldve just been Ewing, if Pacers won, it wouldve just been Reggie,so Hakeem did nothing spectacular by winning as the only great player. If Jordan was there the Bulls wouldve won two years straight, know that
@tuzwol We were talking about centers,and the dream went through them all.As for Jordan,maybe he would have won more.But he had plenty of good players with him to when he did win.
@MrScott4020 ,true, but he played Shaq before Shaq hit his prime, Shaq was only in the league for 3 years when they met in the Finals,and Olajuwon was in the league for 11 years
LOL@tuzwol "If Jordan was there the Bulls wouldve won two years straight, know that"
Hey buddy, just remember Jordan was "there" during Hakeem's 2nd title run. Nice try though. :)
Shaq was voted ahead of Hakeem on the NBA team that year and led the league in scoring, no excuses for getting swept at home and being outscored in every game by your opposing rival.
@FuShengAlex .Jordan came in mid season and was rusty,you would know that if you watched him play,he didnt return to form until next year,and then what happened, no more rings for Hakeem. Hakeem took more shots than SHaq and was constantly double and triple teamed. Shaq still shot a higher percentage,if he had met Shaq in his prime,it wouldve been a different story,dont forget Hakeem had Drexler, another top 50 player
SMH@tuzwol I like your old school music videos more than your b-ball commentary,lol. Jordan was a career loser vs. Hakeem, not sure where exactly he caused Hakeem a problem. MJ avg'd more ppg than his 1st and 4 title runs in '95, not to mention he averaged more bpg than any of his title years. Rust is a cop-out, he averaged around his career playoff #'s and still LOST. Orl would've beaten them even if he played all year.
Hakeem was better in '95 than Jordan EVER was so, btw. :)
Oh please tuzwol ......Prime Shaq wasn't anymore dominating than the '95 version that got swept. He couldn't get past the Tim Duncan unless Kobe was carrying. Just like your hero Wilt couldn't get past Russell unless Greer carried the scoring load.
Hakeem at 32 led his team to a title, if West had Hakeem instead of Wilt at the same stage who choked big time at home in Game 6 vs. Boston he'd have been able to retire and say he beat Russell.
@tuzwol Ok,if were going there then in 1986(Hakeem's 2nd year)he took the Rockets to the finals.This was when he was still as they say raw as a player.He averaged 27 points an almost 12 rebounds against the greatest 3 HOFers ever to play together(Bird,Mchale an Parish).He led the playoffs in scoring an rebounding an also beat a dam good Laker team before playing Boston.
tuzwol ....Jerry West should've had "this" 32 yr. old Hakeem instead of the 32 yr old Wilt that choked in the '69 finals in game 6....then he'd have been able to say he'd beaten Russell in the playoffs.
@FuShengAlex ...nah...russell woulda owned hakeem....hakeem couldnt do shit in the playoffs unless horry was carrying him...thats why in 14 seasons without horry,he won 6 playoff series..
hakeem had to rely on 2 MJ's to retire to have a chance....michael jordan,and also magic johnson retiring after kicking hakeems ass 2 straight times,including the 91 sweep...
hakeem= 0-10 vs tim duncan....and u think he would have a chance vs bill russell?...well,maybe if horry was there to carry him..LMAO
@FuShengAlex .....mike= eliminated the hakeem/clyde duo with houston....lmaoooo....
1982 FINAL FOUR.....north carolina over houston cougars...lmaoooo....68-63 victory....ONE GAME before mike hit the championship winning shot as a freshman.....bwahahhahahahaha....
mike eliminated hakeem and clyde before....he woulda done it again.....in the 1 "win or go home" game hakeem ever played against mike,mike won and hakeem went home...lololololololol
shaqpopcorn34 ....you mean Mike sidekicked his way past Houston in '82. Hence James Worthy was the Final 4 MVP. Get it Final Four.....something Shaq never came close to leading LSU to. I guess when the Dream Team was announced in '91 they rightfully picked Laettner over Shaq.
Laettner and the HOF studded Dream Team were heard singing amongst one another and looking at Shaq's lousy college career singing Queen's: "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, NO ROOM FOR LOSERS" lmaooooo
@FuShengAlex ...lmao....mike= 18 pts vs houston in NCAA FINAL FOUR....OWNING hakeem and clyde..did you know that NOBODY on north carolina even averaged 16 ppg that year?..and thats with worthy,mike and perkins..not to mention hakeem or clyde didnt even average 16 ppg...mike not only dropped 18 pts to dominate and humiliate hakeem,but did it on a balanced team as a freshman..in a low scoring game that was 68-63..laettner over shaq on dream team 1?.. clyde over hakeem on dream team 1!!!..LMAOO
shaqpopcorn34:" laettner over shaq on dream team 1?.. clyde over hakeem on dream team 1!!!..LMAOO"
Hakeem wasn't even eligble to play for DreamTeam1, he wasn;t a citizen. And if he was, at least Clyde is a HOFer. Why couldn't Shaq be selected over Laettner is the even more comical question??? I mean Shaq couldn't even get past a career journeyman? lmaooooooo
@FuShengAlex ...laettner?...simple....they wanted a college guy who wouldnt outshine the nba players....it worked....hakeem was eligible for dream team 2...
hakeem= outscored by every single member of dream team 2 except JOHN STOCKTON....and that was only because hakeem shot more than stockton....stockton had the higher fg%....
hakeem tied gary payton on dream team 2 in rebounds...lmaooo....nice contribution,a mere one year after he was "at the top of his game"....lolololololololol
Hakeem won a Finals MVP and NBA title matched against Shaq. What did this '99 series win vs. Hakeem amount to? Oh yeah the right to be TD's abused stepchild,lololol.
@FuShengAlex ...hakeem= 0-10 vs duncan....lmaooo...how could he lose to shaq in 99 with the same pippen that mike won a ring with in 98,and barkleys epic series?
if you say hakeem lost on purpose to avoid robinson AND timmy whipping his ass 1 round later,i accept that excuse...lmao
orlandos 1995 roster= dennis scott,nick anderson never won a series again...penny with 1...bowie with 1...THATS IT....horace and shaw won after shaq left orlando...WITH SHAQ...nobody else won a round after shaq!
: "orl 1995 roster= dennis scott, anderson never won a series again...penny with 1...bowie with 1...THATS IT....horace and shaw won after shaq left orlando...WITH SHAQ...nobody else won a round after shaq."
MadMax, Smith and Otis Thorpe never went anywhere without Hakeem and they still won. Excuses! Shaq can say he set some records: NBA Finals record in turnovers for a 4 game sweep. Only NBA scoring champ to be outscored in every game of a finals.. Not records I'd be proud of,.lmaoooo.
@FuShengAlex ...damn,you sure dont know shit about bball....u said if wilt didnt choke in the 69 finals he woulda been able to say he'd beaten russell in the playoffs....lmaooo...
are you not aware of the 1967 playoffs?......
wilts sixers over russells celtics 4-1 to end bostons streak of 8 straight titles.....russell was better than wilt....but KNOW THE DAMN FACTS.....lmaooooo....
HEY FU....learn a little more about the nba than the 94 and 95 seasons you focus on so much....lolololololololol
shaqpopcorn34: "damn,you sure dont know shit about bball....u said if wilt didnt choke in the 69 finals he woulda been able to say he'd beaten russell in the playoffs....lmaooo..."
More like damn you don't know about reading comprehension....I said Jerry West never beat Russell in the playoffs. Are you still crying about the 95' sweep of Shaq by Hakeem? LMAOOOOO
@MrScott4020 ..hakeem won with a "worn out drexler"?...lmaoo...but shaq was so lucky to have kobe,the guy who is the alltime leader in playoff missed shots by age 32?...
kobe= 21.1 ppg 4.5 rpg 4.4 apg 2.5 tovs on .441% in 00 playoffs
clyde= 20.5 ppg 7.0 rpg 5.0 apg 2.0 tovs on .481% in 95 playoffs
kobe= 21.1 ppg on 17.9 fgas...true shooting % of .517% in 00 title run
clyde= 20.5 ppg on 14.6 fgas...true shooting % of .587% in 95 title run
damn...just imagine if clyde wasnt "worn out"....LMAO
@shaqpopcorn34 Like I didn't no an older Clyde was better than a young Kobe! Maybe if you lived in Portland an watched most of his career you could see him slowing down,check the numbers MR STATS! Maybe thats why Kobe is learning from the Dream! Maybe thats why Clyde went an played with the Dream instead of against him! Even Shaq said Hakeem was the best,an MJ! Maybe if you read the right record books you'll see why they called him the DREAM! Not bad for a soccer player huh MR STATS?
@MrScott4020 ...i know all about hakeem....and i know shaq is better...mike saying hakeem was the best?....yea,mike is a great judge of big man talent....thats why he drafted KWAME BROWN #1....as for shaq,he respects hakeem....hakeem is the 1 guy who didnt piss him off....he didnt like ewing,robinson,mourning....and he had good reasons....clyde was incredible in 95...such great team ball that hakeems fgas INCREASED from the 94 playoffs to 95 playoffs with clydes addition
Hakeem was by far a lot better player than shaquille. Shaquille didnt shoot, didnt play defense, didnt rebound, didnt shoot free trows. HAKEEN THE BEST CENTER EVER.
@amlo20121 ..shaq was better all-around...shaq could shoot,too smart to settle for outside shots...shaq cant rebound?....he outrebounded hakeem in the 95 finals and the 99 series..
shaq has an nba record 13 straight seasons averaging 20-10...shaq has a higher rebound % than hakeem.....shaq was a great defender...always held the top centers well below their normal fg%...hakeem,ewing,and robinson werent even close to cracking 50% vs shaq..
shaq has far more skills than hakeem,no doubt about it
@treezX I gotta say hakeem. He was better all around center. Shaq was mostly brute strength but he didnt necessarily have SOUND basketball skills. Plus he was constantly out of condition and overweight
I will give the Big Daddy his due. I don't think it was a domination, but comparing the tangible evidence, The Dream averaged 32.8 pts per game in that final, while Shaq averaged 28(Both huge numbers), but Olajuwon was forced to take 116 FG's, including a 3 point shot. No one took nearly that many shots in that final. If Shaq had done more than stand under the hoop and tip it in, he might have missed more. Give The Dream his due, Shaq fans.
@chevleclair Saying that is like to pray for a 5'8'' point guard with good 3 pts skill to go for the dunk. Lets face it, Shaq's basketball strength was to be big, faster and stronger than the ones who play his position.
@soulless755 Look at the footage for most of that series. Again, Shaq was a great scorer, but you'll find that there was no way Shaq could guard the Dream. How do I know? Because Horus Grant was guarding him. The Dream didn't dominate Shaq, he owned everyone that year, no one could stop him.
@chevleclair I didn't mean to say Shaq dominated The Dream, my comment was because you wrote that Shaq just "stand up under the hoop...", so what I wrote about being big and so was to defend the first part of what I wrote.
@fccl1 Shaq did great on the finals against Rockets. But its not like Shaq or anybody could stop Hakeem. Robinson failed misserably too. He was just that good.
@fccl1 umm Hakeem didnt school Shaq at all. Shaq averaged 25 and 13 on a way higher efficiency than Hakeem(who couldnt shoot above 50% as a big man). Not to mention Shaq was nowhere near his prime.
Just because Hakeem's team won doesnt mean he schooled Shaq. Learn your history before you go posting dumb shit like that
Pretty sure Hakeem swept Shaq in the finals. Hakeem plays Defense and if you that in the NBA you will get dunked on. Shaq is a b***h and plays no D and would run away from Mugsy Bogues if he thought he was going to the rack hard. He never gets dunked on, but he is a b***h and that is why no team will keep longer than a year anymore and the Lakers have been way more successful since he left.
@weedcali4067 wow what a fucking hater , im pretty sure you are kobe fan .. typical lakers fan shaq is hall of famer and much better person than you are .. little internet bastard.
@Jokadamasta Hakeem when he went up head to head with David Robinson he destroyed him. When David got Duncan, Duncan was the man not David and David clearly had the better team from 97-01 Hakeem wasn't the prime Hakeem that dominated David. Remember Hakeem came in 84 and David got drafted in 90 but came in 92. Hakeem had an 8 year head start on him and was in his prime before David was. They are both HOF'ers maybe bitch was strong but Hakeem killed him in 94, so for that series he was his bitch.
If they lost to detroit in 7 games, that would be one thing. But losing in 5 the way they did, it was just pathetic. They only won one game because kobe hit a game winner. I'm sorry, but that series alone puts olajuwon ahead of shaq. Olajuwon never succumbed to petty internal squabling.
Dude, even with the squabling. Even you played independently iso one on one plays. That series should have been a cake walk. That is the most disgraceful way to lose. They had a HOF team. It truly is pathetic and makes you wonder how good was that laker team really? I mean who did they beat in the finals... the nets, 76ers and an old pacers team.
in 04, the pb was clearly bryant, the shot the most meanwhile they have the the HOF in the paint.look at kobe in the finals, just pityful. after that, O'neal was so lucky, he came at the best moment, rested 5y for the 2 best center of the 90's (rob and hakeem) so he just had to wait to be the only good center. as i have all the games match up between those 3 centers between 92-96, O'neal is third, behind robinson and olajuwon for sure.
Back on that 2004 lakers squad, they had possibly the greatest offensive PF in the history of the NBA(malone), almost unarguably the best defensive PG in the history of the NBA(Payton), two all time greats in kobe and shaq, and two veterans in horace grant and rick fox.
Oh, and don't try to give that "shaq has four titles, so he's better", that argument is garbage.
For starters, the dream never had any player on his team on the caliber of kobe or d-wade.
Secondly, Hakeem hit his prime when MJ was dominating the league, no one was taking those championships from MJ, shaq hasn't faced any player that was dominating like MJ.
Do you realize how many great players in the 90s are left without any championships at all because of MJ and Hakeem?
Huh? Hakeem had a great supporting cast in Houston, especially compared to what Shaq had in Orland. Hell, just watch the games and look at who showed up to play in that 95 Finals on Houston's side. You had Clyde dropping twenty plus points every game. Bob Horry hitting timely threes. The Jet nailing the clutch shots off the bench. And Shaq beat MJ in 95 when he was with the Magic, something that Hakeem had never done before.
@ShowMeYourJam But lets be honest....Hakeem was about to retire when this game happened. This was 1999. He was clearly in his Twilight. Shaq was in the midst of his prime here. Two great players at different points in their game.
@ShowMeYourJam I'm talking about on their championship teams. Olajuwon had NOTHING compared to shaq.
Fuck, shaq had payton, malone, kobe, himself, rick fox, and derek fisher on that 2004 lakers squad, and STILL got embaressed and run out of their own building by detroit.
And yeah, shaq beat Mj, but then he got swept by olajuwon. So your point is invalid.
that series was two of the best centers to ever play noone made the other a bitch shaq cudnt mess with hakeems speed and foot work but hakeem cudnt mess with shaqs power it was a battle of the best neither was in there primes dream was slightly past his and shaq was a few years away they both exploited each other but hakeem won becuz of experiance he slightly out played shaq but it was enuff
Dwight Howard compared to shaq? Howard is athletic but also the most useless option on offense, because he can neither pass the ball nor score. His defense is overrated as well, because all he does is collecting helpside blocks... A few days ago, he couldn't even defend roy hibbert...
I'd even put shaq's defense over Howard's. The same offensively of course. Howard may even be among the top 5 most overrated players right now. Together with Anderson Varejao...
@MasterThomers varejao is barely overrated. but how you gona say dwights overrated? howard dominates and avg 18ppg thats one of the highest for a center right now. hes the best defender because of his rebounding blocks and just overall defense. Name a better center than howard
??? Are you a fucking intard???? You'd put Shaq's defense over Howards??? Seriously dude, i've some big Shaq nutswingers in my day, but your so far up his ass he's gonna burp you out.
@MasterThomers you need to quit sipping that haterade and open your eyes. you don't make Team USA multiple times in the starting 5 if you are bad. the people there know what they are doing, trust me.
dwight howard is the reason the magic broke the 3 point record this year. of course not for him shooting 3s. but he anchors the basket and draws defenders towards him, opening shots for other players.
plus he led the NBA in blocks, boards, and field goal percentage. now how is that overrated?
@nextbestrockstar do u know what happened to dwight wen he played vs lakers in the finals? he got fucked up. and considering that theres not too many quality big men in this league or america right now he shud have made team usa
@tonychoitellem correct. he lost pretty hard. but then you're admitting dwight is the franchise strength and the reason they got to the finals in the first place. all-be-it out of the eastern conference, but still, that is not easy.
all i hear about is how overrated dwight is. but i never hear anything about how good he is that would make him overrated.
highest field goal percentage last year, most blocks, most boards, how is he overrated again?
@nextbestrockstar did u juz say 5? cuz i thought it was more like 10 but ok and magic has like 3 all stars with them too in carter nelson and lewis not to mention another great passer in jason williams i know dwights young and has plenty of time to improve but right now i think he is overrated and until he becomes a force on offense he will stay overrated
@nextbestrockstar its actually 10.1 ppg go look on the site -_-" carter shudnt be an all star but hes borderline for all the help dwight had last year, losing to boston was juz a disappointment
@nextbestrockstar ya but to be mentioned in the mvp category with kobe bron and dwade u have to dominate on both ends of the floor which i think he will do in about 2-3 years
@nextbestrockstar well maybe but u never know lebron cud do what magic did and still stay in the mvp race and wade cud still score a load of points like i know he can but the mvp race is mostly kobe and durant now unless melo gets motivated but i dont think howard will win mvp anytime soon he will keep winning the dpoy tho unless josh smith starts going crazy
@tonychoitellem no, dwade and bron have too similar playing styles to put up mind-blowing stats. bron will be like around 20 10 (9-11). which is good. but not as good as durant who will be tearing it up this year.
Hey there SinJackass.....still being the SORE LOSER I called you in the other thread huh? LOL.
What happened to the: "Oh my teams have 4 and 6 titles B/S you were spinning elsewhere? Get subliminally trying to support your inferior DRob here pal,lol.
yea but shaq will tell you hakeem gave him more hell then anyone. infact all the stars new that

Shaq still shot a higher percentage,if he had met Shaq in his prime,it wouldve been a different story,dont forget Hakeem had Drexler, another top 50 player
tuzwol 5 months ago
SMH@tuzwol I like your old school music videos more than your b-ball commentary,lol. Jordan was a career loser vs. Hakeem, not sure where exactly he caused Hakeem a problem. MJ avg'd more ppg than his 1st and 4 title runs in '95, not to mention he averaged more bpg than any of his title years. Rust is a cop-out, he averaged around his career playoff #'s and still LOST. Orl would've beaten them even if he played all year.
Hakeem was better in '95 than Jordan EVER was so, btw. :)
FuShengAlex 5 months ago
Oh please tuzwol ......Prime Shaq wasn't anymore dominating than the '95 version that got swept. He couldn't get past the Tim Duncan unless Kobe was carrying. Just like your hero Wilt couldn't get past Russell unless Greer carried the scoring load.
Hakeem at 32 led his team to a title, if West had Hakeem instead of Wilt at the same stage who choked big time at home in Game 6 vs. Boston he'd have been able to retire and say he beat Russell.
FuShengAlex 5 months ago
@tuzwol Ok,if were going there then in 1986(Hakeem's 2nd year)he took the Rockets to the finals.This was when he was still as they say raw as a player.He averaged 27 points an almost 12 rebounds against the greatest 3 HOFers ever to play together(Bird,Mchale an Parish).He led the playoffs in scoring an rebounding an also beat a dam good Laker team before playing Boston.

I will give the Big Daddy his due. I don't think it was a domination, but comparing the tangible evidence, The Dream averaged 32.8 pts per game in that final, while Shaq averaged 28(Both huge numbers), but Olajuwon was forced to take 116 FG's, including a 3 point shot. No one took nearly that many shots in that final. If Shaq had done more than stand under the hoop and tip it in, he might have missed more. Give The Dream his due, Shaq fans.
chevleclair 11 months ago 8
@chevleclair Saying that is like to pray for a 5'8'' point guard with good 3 pts skill to go for the dunk. Lets face it, Shaq's basketball strength was to be big, faster and stronger than the ones who play his position.
soulless755 10 months ago
@soulless755 Look at the footage for most of that series. Again, Shaq was a great scorer, but you'll find that there was no way Shaq could guard the Dream. How do I know? Because Horus Grant was guarding him. The Dream didn't dominate Shaq, he owned everyone that year, no one could stop him.

@chevleclair I didn't mean to say Shaq dominated The Dream, my comment was because you wrote that Shaq just "stand up under the hoop...", so what I wrote about being big and so was to defend the first part of what I wrote.

Pretty sure Hakeem swept Shaq in the finals. Hakeem plays Defense and if you that in the NBA you will get dunked on.

He never gets dunked on, but he is a b***h and that is why no team will keep longer than a year anymore and the Lakers have been way more successful since he left.

Remember Hakeem came in 84 and David got drafted in 90 but came in 92. Hakeem had an 8 year head start on him and was in his prime before David was. They are both HOF'ers maybe bitch was strong but Hakeem killed him in 94, so for that series he was his bitch.

Back on that 2004 lakers squad, they had possibly the greatest offensive PF in the history of the NBA(malone), almost unarguably the best defensive PG in the history of the NBA(Payton), two all time greats in kobe and shaq, and two veterans in horace grant and rick fox.
Basch152 1 year ago
Oh, and don't try to give that "shaq has four titles, so he's better", that argument is garbage.
For starters, the dream never had any player on his team on the caliber of kobe or d-wade.
Secondly, Hakeem hit his prime when MJ was dominating the league, no one was taking those championships from MJ, shaq hasn't faced any player that was dominating like MJ.
Do you realize how many great players in the 90s are left without any championships at all because of MJ and Hakeem?
Basch152 1 year ago
@Basch152
Huh? Hakeem had a great supporting cast in Houston, especially compared to what Shaq had in Orland. Hell, just watch the games and look at who showed up to play in that 95 Finals on Houston's side. You had Clyde dropping twenty plus points every game. Bob Horry hitting timely threes. The Jet nailing the clutch shots off the bench. And Shaq beat MJ in 95 when he was with the Magic, something that Hakeem had never done before.

@tonychoitellem it tells me there are 3 HOF players on that offense that set up the offense, and that rajon is much better then kendrick.
plus kendrick gets 5 points, whereas dwight from last season gets 18. and that is a huge difference.
if dwight worked on his post moves. (which he has this offseason) and recieved the ball more he could get up to 28 points easily.

@tonychoitellem no, dwade and bron have too similar playing styles to put up mind-blowing stats. bron will be like around 20 10 (9-11). which is good. but not as good as durant who will be tearing it up this year.
