kobe
in their primes, who do you pick to build a team/contend for a championship with?
kobe
Kobe.
Hakeem fell off a cliff at the end/squared the curve. That's a great lifespan strategy, but, sucks for an NBA career. There was no gradual decline.
how the fck do you add a poll, this crap is all kinds of fubar'd
Except he said IN THEIR PRIMES which has nothing to do with their declines
Hakeem. No one dominated both sides of the ball like he did
Some people need to learn how to read (yeah, that means you Culbert...)
in their primes
It's a difficult question to answer because they play two different positions and the rules were also different back then...
In what era we're talking about here?
Yer right, I misread the query. My fault.
hakeem in his prime was better than Jordan.
If your are building the Denver Nuggets, then you take Hakeem. You don't want Kobe living in Colorado
Anywhere else = Kobe
Hakeem. Plays both sides of the court as a big. A wing player like Kobe cannot anchor an interior defense.
Hakeem. Basketball is a big man's game and he was one of the best big men. If he was in his prime today he'd be the best big in the league and right there at the #1 overall spot.
If you want to win with Kobe you have to deal with primadonna bull and either have a prime HOF like Shaq or steal another team's cornerstone player such as Gasol.
Or, have Fish take a sighting off the top of Nelson's head from 23 feet out.
tee, hee.
like when Duncan had Stephen Jackson,David Robinson,Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli?
As usual Lakers fans get their panties in a bunch. This is a thread about Kobe versus Hakeem. A prime Hakeem > everyone in the league now including Duncan.
In his prime Dream is probably the best big man ever, if he wouldve maintained that level longer there probably wouldnt be any doubt about who the best Center ever was.
You mean 48 yr old Robinson? Wild an erratic rookie Ginobili? 2nd year Parker that got benched in favor or Speedy ing Claxton in the 4th qtr of numerous games? And journeyman Stephen Jackson?
Or when Mr 35% Kobe had Shaq, Malone and Payton and still couldnt win.
Hakeem needed just an average/above average championship supporting cast, Kobe needed collusion..hmmmm...
Why career wise Kobe? What did he do prior to last season that was better than anything Hakeem did out of his prime.
Not counting second fiddle championships.
i cant take you seriously.
Hakeem by a mile.
how long was hakeems prime? kobe's is still going
Hakeem. Best post player of all time? Give me that guy.
In their primes Hakeem get's the edge with his dominating game on both ends of the court. Still, with the knowledge we have now about the careers of Kobe and Hakeem it would be Kobe. He's able to play at a high level longer than Hakeem could.
I agree with this.
I am a big fan of Hakeem and Kobe, with what I know about their careers, I would take Kobe.
