I forgot how amazing that Bird/McHale/Parrish frontcourt was.

Right up there with Duncan/Robinson/Elliott

[Ashy Larry]

Hakeem was still just a baby going up against probably the best post player in the game. Nonetheless, he held his own but McHale was just a master on the block.

Damn, Hakeem was amazing

The Michael Jordan of centers

[Giuseppe]

His decline was precipitous & frightening. It's eclipsed his prime.

[Double-Up]

He was a beast plain and simple...I could only imagine how he would toy with bigs of today.

[Giuseppe]

Difficult to see that now, Dubs. His state at retirement was humiliating. I felt genuinely bad for him.

I'm just tellin' it like it is, Dubs. Don't get old Cubby wrong. You guys did me peaches there Vs. the Suns. I remember Hakeem sternly admonishing Smith for fouling KJ on the way in........"just let him go!"

His prime was magnificent. He just squared the curve and fell off the earth.

[Mori Chu]

Why is Hakeem Olajuwon wearing a red uniform in those videos? I thought he was a Toronto Raptor. Did the Raptors have red uniforms back then??

Larry Bird, big man dependent imo.
