@jeroel7 not saying that hakeem was shit, dude was a monster but didnt have the same impact, again i dont matter if mj had pippen, they still had to put in the work. hakeem did have a good supporting cast, u cant win a championship with just one person so he didnt single handedly do it all, look at A.I. nd lebron they were a one man team who were in tha finals and what happened? oh yea they lost plus hakeem team was way better then what they had. no excuse mj was just better then hakeem
@jeroel7 tha difference between mj and hakeem is that mj had a more of a impact then hakeem did and he was a global icon, when u go around tha world nd say basketball first thing that pops into there head is mj, shit when i went to mexico there only answer to basketball was mj, plus mj had way more points then him which proves he is a better scorer, cmon most of tha people who are on tha top 5 in scoring are big men besides mj, and kobe who is catching up.
SMH@DrePeezy415 ....You Jordan loons never stop trolling with your MJ propoganda. Maybe Hakeem didn't score as much as MJ because he was leading in shotblocking and rebounding in addition to scoring and steals. That's nearly every year of his Rocket career leading in every category except passing. I never saw the so-called GOAT with the ability to do all that for his Bulls team in even one year in his career. Jordan was a better SG than Hakeem, and Hakeem was a better C than MJ. Nuff said.
@jeroel7 damn bro lay off hakeem's sack it's not good for you, so what if mj had pippen? look at malone nd stockton, look at magic and worthy, payton nd kemp which are future hall of famers, your acting mj was tha only one. nd eventually hakeem even had barkley and drexler on tha same team nd had pippen at one point but didnt win shit, mj could of probably won a whole decade of championships if he wouldnt of retired, he would have a better chance then hakeem
Get off hakeem nuts! Mj was greater then Hakeem! Unlike Hakeem mj never lost a finals series, nd it doesn't matter if mj had pippen nd rodman, it's a team sport! Look at tha heat, 2 future hall of famers and a all star but they still didn't win even with great individual players because they didn't play as a team. Hakeem didn't have a good support? Horry brought u perimeter shooting nd defense nd cassel and kenny smith who were play makers? Yeah Hakeem just didn't have the same hunger to win as
@DrePeezy415 stop sucking MJ'S BALLS,he played his prime with another hall of famer in his prime,PIP-also had the greatest rebounder in the nba his last 3 titles...Dream is the only player in history to lead a team to back to back titles w/out any all star teamates-Clyde wasn't an all star in '95-didn't play great until he joined Dream mid season,give both players equal support and you've probably got equal titles-to say Dream wasn't as hungry as MJ IS SIMPLY RETARDED ON YOUR PART
I suddenly thought of Kirby Puckett, may he rest in peace, when I saw that block on Starks in game 6 of the 1994 Finals.. Kirby, crashing into the wall to rob the Braves of a run, then sending his team to game 7 with a HR of his own... Great players, playing great when it matters..
ppl need to calm down in this thread and be more humble like Hakeem. :) chill out homies. :) they r all great players and cannot be compared to each other since they led different types of careers.
No other player in NBA history won their 1st Title without another legendary HOF teammate on their team before. Closest Dream had before 93 was Sampson. Dream was a true team lifter.
Stupid Bulls fanboys keep bitching that Hakeem wouldnMt stand a chance againtst the Bulls. We swept several season series with them and swept the Magic in 95 who Jordan couldn't get past. And hell yeah Jordan had 3 other HOFers on his team pippen Rodman and Coach jackson, Hakeem is so far the only HOF on the 94 Rockets team and just Drexler and him in 95.
"If I had to pick a center [for an all-time best team], I would take Olajuwon. That leaves out Shaq, Patrick Ewing. It leaves out Wilt Chamberlain. It leaves out a lot of people. And the reason I would take Olajuwon is very simple: he is so versatile because of what he can give you from that position. It's not just his scoring, not just his rebounding or not just his blocked shots. People don't realize he was in the top seven in steals. He always made great decisions on the court."
if today's big men shoot at 47-48%FG compare with 80-90's post up move with 52-55%FG, i would choose the post up move any day. they could draw a foul, bigger %FG, chance of rebounding the ball back. Kareem-hakeem, best center of all time, i couldn't choose between those 2. Shaq in 3rd position
he "single handedly" won the 93-94 championship, there was no other all star on that team.The media has overrated today's big men for having a better shooting skills. Hakeem shows tthat he can do everything: Post up, defense, shooting, dribbling, etc. there's reason why big men in the past didn;t do more three points, because they are Big Men, every position in a team has their own function. if u take the big men outside the perimeter, u won't have any second chance of scoring
how can u match him. He IS the greatest player of all time. jst imagine if he had wat MJ had a scottie pippen. imagine if he had 1 most of his carrer. imagine if they neva let go of Sampson. just IMAGINE
@mavz5and41 Wait a second dude.. He had Kenny Smith, and SAM CASSELL I'm not saying that Hakeem isn't the greatest player of all time, and that your stats are bullshit, but Hakeem did have two Playmakers to help him out.
@mavz5and41 um. hakeem was really really really good. but the greatest ever? MJ, russel, bird, magic, kareem, wilt, duncan... come on man. dont give him too much credit.
@HSLt18 All those players had an Amazin supporting cast, yet when Hakeem won his first championship his supporting cast , was all rite. I mean they were good , but noting compared to wat MJ had with pippen and rodman, or what magic had with kareem, or Bird with Dj, Bill walton, Robert Parish etc.. If Samson had stayed, and the rockets got Drexler much earlier into his career, the Rockets would have dominated 80s and 90s NBA.
@MISAMEscobar i agree with you give hakeem mjs supporting cast and he probably wouldve won 8 stright well mj might of if he hadnt gone to baseball but that will never be proven either way
@jeroel7 not saying that hakeem was shit, dude was a monster but didnt have the same impact, again i dont matter if mj had pippen, they still had to put in the work. hakeem did have a good supporting cast, u cant win a championship with just one person so he didnt single handedly do it all, look at A.I. nd lebron they were a one man team who were in tha finals and what happened? oh yea they lost plus hakeem team was way better then what they had. no excuse mj was just better then hakeem
