You gots need to stop hating on Hakeem. 93-95 Hakeem was the 2nd best player OF ALL TIME. No one has ever dominated the game on both ends like he did
24 years old, promising but hasn't won anything. If he gets injured this summer and is never the same he'll just be another "could've been like Mike". Longevity matters. If he stays healthy he'll probably be in the top ten someday.

Not really. At worst he's #4 on the list of small forwards, behind Bird, Baylor and Dr. J.
Look at it this way: Gale Sayers only played six seasons in the NFL- actually only three when he was completely healthy- and a lot of people would put him in an all-time top 50 in his sport.
1. Michael Jordan
2. Wilt Chamberlin
3. Magic Johnson
4. Oscar Robertson
5. Kareem
6. Tim Duncan
7. Hakeem
8. Shaq
9. Bird
10.Rusell
51. Tony Parker
8.
Only Spur fan who has cat for brains would even think about putting Duncan in front of Bird or Hakeem.
He won more les than Hakeem and is more decorated than Bird head
I forgot where the list says Players with most les and most decorated. Why isn't Bill Russell the unanimous no.1 on all these lists?
Just playing devil's advocate here...
Bird definitely should be ranked above Duncan, but I can see other people wanting to rank Duncan above Hakeem based on championships and the length of time each player's respective team was considered a contender.
I wouldn't agree with that assessment per se, but I understand where those people are coming from.
Only Mav fan gobblin would put dirk on the list period. Maybe top 100, I guess as a courtesy to any MVP
So basically you just threw in the towel and posted something that had nothing to do with the discussion. Good job
Anyone who watched Hakeem and Duncan and doesn't have a bias knows who was better.
Hakeem and Kareem are getting majorly disrespected by this list. Shaq is too high. And Rodman on a top 50 list? Seriously?
This list has some major errors.
First of all, Hakeem is a top 10 player, and Duncan a top 5 player.
Second, Shaq is lucky to be in the top 10, he is not top 5 material. That also goes for Oscar, he is top 10-15 material, and not as good as Jerry West.
Kobe is not as good as Oscar or Jerry West or Bob Cousy. Kobe is one of the most overrated players in history, followed closely by Shaq.
Jabber is the best player of all time. He took an expansion team and won the NBA le in his 2nd year, the Bucks third year. He was on the cover of TIME magazine when he was in high school. In the 1985 NBA Finals over 20 years later, he was still the MVP. He was 7' 2" and is the only player in history to shoot the SKY HOOK. He was already the best basketball player in the world by his sop re year of college, where he won three straight player of year awards, three straight NCAA championships, and three straight times named outstanding player of the Final 4.
He was his team's leading scorer for his first 17 NBA seasons.
Overall, Jabber won 9 championships:
67, 68, 69, 71, 80, 82, 85, 87, 88
Went to Finals:
74, 83, 84, 89
If anybody thinks Jordan is better than Jabber, you're high. Jordan is a guard. Jabber was one of the best shotblocjers and defenders of all time, guards cannot impact the game on D like Jabber.
Russell is only 6' 9" he is not as good as Jabber.
Chamberlain is the only player who can compare to Jabber. The fact is, Jabber was better.
Jabber
I think Jabbar had retired by 89, Galileo. And why do you always say Jabber?
i know i already posted thecomment about Rodman but that is such a travesty that he makes this list i'm gonna post it again
If you switch him with any ing PF that made an all star team in NBA history, he'd have won the same amount of rings that Rodman did with the Bulls and that includes Jamal Magloire.
Surprised Kukoc isn't on this list, maybe he's #51
Lol Kidd 11 spots ahead of AI.
As well are the Mavericks.
Write this one down in your diary.
What for? In my diary, I write down the feelings I have for the Spurs and their 4 trophies gleaming in their trophy case. the Mavs.
America, eatin' my lunch from a single bowl in my parents basement, where I'm livin'. Happy Birthday, I'm forty-three.
Don't want to waste those precious calories...chewin'. Jesus come move my jaw for me, help me get my sloppy food down my throat
You know, you've said that quote many a time before. I still don't know what it means.
Deprecations of Jordan are totally from those loyal homers of Magic or Jabber whose only purpose in downing Jordan is just for giving more applause to their legends they love, even though Jordan is undoubtedly the first player to be thought of once we start a talk about NBA. Jordan is well worth the first place on this list, while that is the only correct point it makes. Any list excluding Dirk can only be considered BS.
In a backward kind of way, I meant Lebron should not be on that list either.
The guy has mad game, proobably a rung above everyone else in the league right now but he hasn't done it for long enough.
, I don't think I'd put Wade in there also but at least Wade went to the big dance and won (please Ghazi..no comments).
That's why I think it was right to put Duncan over Olajuwan on this list.
Those two years Hakeem dominated were better years than any Duncan had but Duncan had staying power, which the dream clearly lacked.
Bron , if on his current pace, would probably end up anywhere from #1-5 but I would definitely not put him up in the top 50 right now.
I'm sure some of you will disagree but I don't think Wilkins should be on the list. I've always thought he was a little overrated.
If you put Hakeem in his prime against Duncan in his prime, Hakeem would win hands down. Hakeem was more dominant in his prime than Duncan. And yes, Hakeem did fade away during the last years of his career but that tends to happen to big men.
