hakeem olajuwon and ralph sampson smh if only sampson could have stayed healthy i beleive they would have won atleast 4 championships together! The original twin towers for sure david robinson and tim duncan had nothing on this!
great mix,but at the same time a really sad one,you see hakkem and sampson going against kareem,god damn i wish i was born earlier to see all of these fights in the paint..
SunMan6A6......Jabbar did very well at that advanced age on offence vs. Hakeem/Sampson despite them destroying LA. Great stuff to watch by all 3 players. You dont see post play like this in today's game.
Maaaan, it seems like the Rockets have a thing for injured big men. Don't forget in this era the "stiffs" were 7'5" guys like Mark Eaton once averaged 5.5 blocks!!! and Manute Bol (he actually blocked Jabbar's skyhook!) who were difficult to shoot over.
Never realized at the time how spoiled I was to watch these guys all go toe to toe, not knowing that the guards would take over in the new millenium. I may NEVER see such greatness/competition at the 5 spot again in my lifetime.
Hakeem and Sampson (original twin towers) > Duncan and Robinson
