SLAMonline caught up with the seven-time champ.

SLAM
SLAM: What was the best team you played on?
RH: The best team was the 2001 Lakers team when we only lost one game in the playoffs, that team was great. We could go maybe ten deep at one time. Most teams can only go maybe seven or eight team, but we had a team that could go ten deep, possibly even twelve deep. That team had all-around talent, everybody got along and everybody had one goal in common, you know, to win the championship and compete.
SLAM: So put that team in a series with the ’95 rockets team or the 2005 Spurs, and it’s winning every time?
RH: I think so, because you’ve got to look at overall we had great D, we had a great bench, we had great guard play, we had Ron Harper, Kobe at the guards, coming off the bench we had myself, Fish, B Shaw, Samaki Walker, we had a really good team, I don’t think anyone realizes just how good that team was.
SLAM: You played with some great players in Olajuwon, Duncan, Kobe and Shaq. Who was the best you played with?
RH: The best player as far as straight out talent was Hakeem Olajuwon. He was just very talented for a guy his size. But as far as straight work ethic, the guy that you knew was going to bring it every night was Kobe. He was probably one of the smartest guys you’d ever get to play with.
