Olajuwon offers up some advice

On the topic of 'Top 5 Centers' what would be like, I'm thinking like this:

(No particular order)

Wilt Chamberlain
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Bill Russel
Hakeem Olajuwon
David Robinson

???

Why was it okay for Spurs fans to boo each Pistons player last night as they were introduced but it's not okay to boo Hakeem?

Fans can boo whoever they want. It's not people were cursing or throwing things at him.

Can I still call them classless whiners or does their higher social status give them exemption from the sportsmanship rule too?

For the record, when Tpark said people spent $400 for seats last night, I think he was talking about people in the balcony. A pair of courtside seats went for $8,000 to last night's game.

They're mad because he owned Drob in the 1995 NBA playoffs!! :lol

Yes Hakeem kicked SA tail more than a few times. He was redeemed by:

offering a few tips to Tim on how to expand his game. He didn't have to.

reining in that fool Abdul Rauf when he tried to say that Muslim's can't respect the flag.

I really can't be a fan of Ice other than cause was was a Spur once. I never knew or watched his game personally. Only 20 and havent seen much footage I guess.

Hakeem/DRob best centers of the 90s imho talent wise.

He had the cast DRob didn't though.

I don't disagree -- I just thought it was in bad taste; just my opinion. Like I say, I was down with booing Hakeem in 1995, but I dislike booing retired players. Just my thing.

And, as I said earlier, I actually applauded the Pistons as they were introduced. I have a great deal of respect for that team and its players. I didn't go crazy in hollering for them, but I felt obliged to applaud cordially out of respect. Again, just my thing.
