No disrespect to Shaq, but I don't understand how people can consider him a better player. If Hakeem had played with young Kobe they would've had to fold the NBA.

His versatility on offense was incredible, he could penetrate like a guard, had fakes for days and the best post moves this side of Kevin McHale. God do I miss centers like this.

In an interview, Jordan did said that if he had to pick a center for his dream team it be Olajuwon so there!

I love hearing like half of this old color commentary. "...like a leprechaun that sits on the rim." What the hell...

Not just the moves, but how quick and smooth he executes them.

Hakeem is the best Big Man of All-Time. Great offensively, #1 All-Time in Shot Blocks and top 10 All-Time in Steals.......no other Center is remotely close to the top 10 in steals.

Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon.........BEAST!

Smooth handles, why I became a Rockets fan in 1994.

@ThePaulsaunders His post moves weren't as refined as McHale's, but Hakeem had more tricks in his bag. I agree with you about Olajuwon and Shaq. Shaq couldn't hit a thing outside 10 feet and he couldn't face up and score.

YoungGamerKid....Shaq considered superior by who and for what? Dominating weaklings h2h for titles? Running around the NBA to a different team everytime his tail got whipped in the playoffs?

Hakeem > Shaq

so elegant....thx for the post

[saangoku93]

Look. I know 'bout Kareem, Wilt, Shaq, Bill and them. In my book, Hakeem was the best to ever play the Center positon, PERIOD.

@ThePaulsaunders Shaq was able to shut down the paint single handed-ly. Whether it was offense or defense or on the boards. And Shaq won 3 rings with LA, and 1 with Miami. Shaq over powered people and made legends look small. This is why I think O'neal, is considered superior to Hakeem. I love Hakeem though. He definitely revolutionized post moves.
