Focused mainly on his defensive highlights because what a dominant game he had on that end. On offense, Seattle kept Hakeem's shot attempts low by doubling and trapping him at every opportunity but Hakeem used that to create open looks for rest of the team. Overall he had 23 pts, 17 rebs, 9 assists, 3 blks and 2 stls in the game. This would be the only elimination game Hakeem lost in his prime from '93-'95 (and a big reason for the loss was poor officiating with the game on the line), he was 9-0 when he faced elimination in other games in that stretch.
hakeem is too damn good

greatest shot blocker of all time. russell initiated the importance of the blocked shot altering team play but olajuwon took it to another level. howard is not on this level. shaq never was. nor robinson ewing daugherty or the other posts from the 80s and 90s. mutombo was exceptional but was not all over the floor as hakeem was.

@hangtime23ful lol not that one....one example was in game 6 of the 98 finals...Howard Eisley makes a key 3 point shot with 1 second left in the shot clock but the ref calls a shot clock violation....and the exact opposite happened with ron harper but they dont call it..

@hangtime23ful the jazz vs bulls finals series had a load of bs calls in favor of the bulls.....I think that if the refs didnt favor the bulls they only win 3 titles
