Official Clutchfans Meltdown after Duncan is ranked better than hakeem on ESPN

[gilmor]

5 rings vs 2 rings..

[dunkman]

Hakeem made it 3 times to the finals, when the Rockets stunned the Lakers, I think it was in '86. That being said Duncan already had a better career and similar peak level. I think Hakeem has more blocks, a dpoy and a back to back le, but 5 vs 2 'ships or 2 vs 1 MVP is a big difference.

[YGWHI]

11-Robertson
12-Kobe
13-Jerry West
14-Dr.J
15-Moses Malone

The last 10 spots should be something like Kareem, LeBron, Shaq, Wilt, Russell, Hakeem, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Jordan.

[dabom]

Rockets losing the blazers.

That list is a pile of anyway. So much fail in it. That said:

Hakeem only made 2 NBA Finals and let Fatass Barkley's Suns make it in 93, Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp's Sonics make it in 96, Stockton to Malone in 97. Hakeem was awesome but he should have at least made the finals a few more times than 2.

Well, considering he went to three finals... And he went to a finals when MJ was nothing more than a circus attraction.

True, forgot about 1986, my bad

Yea, 80's Akeem is somewhat forgettable. He was still raw.

Wrong - made finals in 1986 (I think) against Boston.

OOPs - somebody already got that one......sorry.

That 2 year forced vacation for Michael Jordan did help out Hakeem's legacy quite a bit......

Spurs (really Rodman) blew a le in 1995 - they would have beaten Orlando......

[will_spurs]

I'm still waiting to see if they had the guts to put Duncan #2. Seeing Kobe at #12 tells me they might.

Duncan at 2 is ridiculous. Besides, they didn't have the balls to put Russell outside of the top 15. #2 is going to be either Chamberlain or AIDS.

[Benoit]

IMO it should have been

1 MJ
2 Wilt Chamberlain
3 Magic
4 Kobe
5 Kareem
6 Bill Russell
7 Larry Bird
8 Shaq
9 Hakeem the Dream
10 Oscar Robertson
11 Jerry West
12 Tim Duncan

A list that put Kobe outside top 10 is by definition an above average list

[will_spurs]

Only surprise is that Curry isn't #1.

[Agloco]

Curry is at 23. FOH.

[Sean Cagney]

I can't hate on Olajuwon. Dude was ing unstoppable.

That one year he made me just sit there and shake my head and say what planet is he from? Dude was out of his mind in 95.

[Sean Cagney]

IMO it should have been

1 MJ
2 Wilt Chamberlain
3 Magic
4 Kobe
5 Kareem
6 Bill Russell
7 Larry Bird
8 Shaq
9 Hakeem the Dream

11 Jerry West
12 Tim Duncan

The real list is Kobe at 12 so yours is just your opinion man. Hate on.

True, forgot about 1986, my bad

Almost everyone forgets about that tbh. They had the original twin towers, too bad one could not stay healthy for long or the league would have been in trouble.

who cares...

Kobe 12

Sampson was never very good and that team only made the Finals when LA fell asleep at the wheel, just like they did in 81. I loved it when Jerry Sichting got that got thrown out of Game 5.

21 and 11 his first two years and his third 18 and near 11 too, 4 time all star and I believe he was rookie of the year. Ralph Sampson was a player before his injuries so I disagree there on him not being that good but that is your opinion. LA falling asleep at the wheel is their own fault though, very talented team and probably should have won the series and been to the finals every year but they allowed the Rockets to slip past them. I think that frontline of Hakeem and Sampson had he stayed healthy was legit man, maybe they don't win a le? Who knows.

I see you said VERY good though, so if he was not very good he was at least solid and an all star caliber player.

brah... put a bit of effort into it because right now dat troll of yours does suck

[NameLess Scrub]

I wasn't a spur fan in 94-95. I was a Bulls fan.
So for me that Hakeem run was very enjoyable.
He owned Shaq like probably nobody could.
They also made history by launching the taco bell double decker, so there's that.
