Kareem's resume matches up with anyone. Number one on my GOAT list ......
hakeem with the best offensive game, with his fascinating movements which had always been his trademark hakeem could beat the opponents who're bigger yet slower, when the opponents were smaller he would just eat them alive. the prime shaq was just too ing powerful he would beat anyone 1on1 with ease, but his career FT% was poor as which makes hack-the-shaq the most efficient antidote against him

Cross Hakeem off the list. He may have been the most skilled of the group but he did not impose his will on offense in the same way Wilt, Kareem and Shaq did.
Hakeem never led the league in scoring and only had two seasons over 27 PPG and he never averaged 28 PPG.
Hakeem's highest FG% in a season was 53.8%. Wilt, Kareem and Shaq have all had 60% FG seasons.

Kareem and it ain't even close. All time leading scorer. Avg 24.6 ppg for 20 years. Average more than 30 4-times. Avg 26+ppg 9 nine times. And that's regular season. Post season: 30+ppg 4 times. Avg 26+ 10 times (would have been 11: 25.9 once). Avg. 24.3ppg for 20 straight years in the playoffs.
Shaq most dominant? Hardly. Shaq's most unstoppable move: dunk. Kareem: sky hook that is money up to 18 feet and he could shoot the 3.
Perspective: at age 35, he was still giving the Lakers 21.8 ppg (compared to TD - 13.4).
Kareem would dominate today's NBA the same way he did in the '70s and '80s. If I'm picking a center the only one I even think about taking over Kareem is the Dream. And that would be at gun point.
Kareem is MDE, not Shaq.
Quote me.
Oh, my pet again!
When I say bark, you say how loud.

Meet me at the Chuckbox this afternoon & I'll chase you around with a 14 incher.
Keep it up Cully.
Show it to me & I may be able to keep it up.
No votes for Gilmore?
Hakeem for the teamwork.
Wilt for the
Hakeem, obviously.
Would of been Shaq if he laid off the krispy kremes.
most people remember old, balding 80s Kareem. Few can remember the dominant player from the 70s that had the league handcuffed. But even as good as he was, he still couldn't do it by himself.
Kareem's resume s on damn near everyone's and kills Hakeem's......
& MSM nearly ran him insane over it. They had a field day with him.
Magic Johnson is a Godsend.
Healthy Bill Walton was gifted offensively. He pretty much did it all.
I would give the nod to Kareem. He's the best offensive center in history. At least skill wise. He really couldn't be guarded in his prime.
Yes. He played above the rim on both offense & defense and his foot work was beyond compare.
Arguably the greatest basketball player to ever grace the earth.
Close call between these two, but I would lean towards Kareem. As amazing as the dream shake was, it was NOT as money as the "sky-hook". Both were good passers but Karem came in to the pros as a offensive force and a solid passer. Hakeem had to develop both of those. early on Hakeem was a defensive center with huge amount of athleticism. Kareem had that and a much more complete offensive game. On second thought it's clearly Kareem unless we talking only "primes" than it's closer.
I'd say Hakeem.
Hakeem squared the bell curve, fell off the earth and humiliated himself, sorta like Ewing.
Jabbar was like tempted, but, wisely walked away before that happened to him.
