I've got that entire series on my hard drive. The 86 Celtics were amazing.

You guys should see Bird in game 6 of that series. I can't seriously believe there are people who don't consider him a top-5 player all-time.

[Amaso]

Im glad you found that vid, because there are some foolish Spurs fans who would like to think Hakeem was some role player that stumbled across two really good seasons when he led the Rockets to the title back to back. Hakeem was a beast in that series, and he was playing against legends and he was making it look easy.

right on

[LakeShow]

Hakeem is the best power forward to ever play the game!

I remember a sic fake by Larry bird on Hakeem in that series. He had Hakeem turning around and running under the basket. Bird still had the ball and I believe he made a wide open jumper. That was the series that I acknowledged Bird as one of the Greatest players to play the game.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Hakeem is the best power forward to ever play the game!


Who the fuck considers him a power forward?

[LakeShow]

Who the fuck considers him a power forward?

Look at the fucking video, what position is he playing?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Look at the fucking video, what position is he playing?


What position did he play almost his entire career?

[LakeShow]

Doesn't matter, when he played the PF position, he was the best at the position.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Doesn't matter, when he played the PF position, he was the best at the position.


That doesn't make him the best PF of all time.

What's funny is Lake Show is actually a rocket fan that signed up here as a Laker fan so he could talk shit to spurfan.

That explains why he's so retarded.

[LakeShow]

That doesn't make him the best PF of all time.

His skills and game makes him the best.

Some people call Tim the best pf even though he has played the center position more often and was a center throughout his college career. They both played the power forward position when they came into the league due to their teams having Centers already in place. The Difference being that Hakeem was able to win a couple of titles without another 7 footer to watch his back.

You're either Stretch's bitch or stretch's alias, which is it?

[LakeShow]

A so called suns fans with a title DUNCANownsKobe and you're calling me retarded? You're a fraud, fucking idiot!

hi, rocket fan.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

1997-2003 Robinson was center
2003-2004 Nesterovic was center
2004-2005 Nesterovic and Mouhammed both played center
2005-2006 same thing
2006-2007 Oberto and Elson played center
2007-2008 Oberto and KT played center

2008-2009 is the only season you can argue Duncan primarily played center since Bonner isn't really a C but more a PF.

And you're a Rockets fan with the title "Lakeshow".

[LakeShow]

And you're a Rockets fan with the title "Lakeshow".

Oh, you must be another one of the Mavs fans alias. Do mavs fans have a life? Geez

[LakeShow]

hi, rocket fan.

15 rings faggot

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

15 rings faggot

Don't you mean 2 rings faggot?

[dirk4mvp]

2 rings faggot

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I want Hakeem Olajuwon's dick

[LakeShow]

I suck dicks for a living".

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I come up with retarded comebacks

[Lars]

Seeing Hakeem and Mchale go at it makes you want to puke at what Oden, Bynum, Howard, and even Yao does.

NPOT-liQ25o&feature

Yao does not belong in that group. Bynum/Oden/Howard are all brute force, Yao is finese. I am not saying he is a legend or anything, but Yao has some skills.

KBP is however..

[Double-Up]

This thread didn't take to long to get derailed, anyways young Hakeem was beasty.

[JoeTait75]

Best SF to ever play the game. As much as I like LeBron, he'll never be Larry.

Ralph Sampson shit the bed in this series.

[poop]

hakeems stat lines are incredible. surely the best post player ever. it seems duncan is the last in line of the great skilled post players, i dont see anyone out there today who can carry on the legacy of kareem/mchale/olajuwon/duncan

[robbie380]

No one is even in the same universe as those you mentioned.

hakeem must roll over in his grave when he sees howard try to attempt a post up move.

the only one out there now is jefferson but man that guy is bad on defense.

[Spurtacular]

Look at the fucking video, what position is he (Olajuwon) playing?

Center.

Ralph Sampson was playing PF; hence why he played further from the basket than he wanted.

[baseline bum]

I loved watching Sichting and Walton beat Sampson's ass in Game 5. LOL at CBS not censoring Sampson's locker room interview after getting bodyslammed and ejected. :lol

[Caltex2]

hakeem must roll over in his grave when he sees howard try to attempt a post up move.

I realize I'm responding to a post from almost a decade ago but what is he, a vampire? Hakeem is very much alive. His NBA grave maybe. Maybe his plaque at the Hall-of-Fame is rolling its eyes.

[baseline bum]

Calvin Murphy rolling in his grave watching Harden's bullshit game

Is that daughter rapist dead?

[Caltex2]

Is that daughter rapist dead?

For all of the jokes y'all make about Hakeem, Murphy is the one you should go after about that type of stuff. And not only is he very much alive, he still is a studio analyst for the Rockets.
