Name for me a center that MJ ever faced that was at Hakeem's skill level...he ted on Ewing and all the les he won he never faced a guy like that African...that African was a cold mutha er...
The nigerian would've been crapped on if he ever saw 2003 Duncan and 2001 Shaq. Too bad he was too busy being a scrub on the raptors
A prime Duncan or Shaq didn't simply have the foot speed to stay with a Prime Hakeem...also Hakeem had too many moves and his jumper was like a point guards..the day that Timmy or Shaq could shot that rock and defend the basket like that African...then come holla at me
MJ faced Hakeem a bunch of times and never dropped less than 22 points on him

Very entertaining thread, tbh. But yeah,
is this real life?
I can't wait until the young fans start saying mj is overrated in a few years.
Hakeem is the best C ever IMO
I dont give a if Wilt scored 1000000 pts in a game or averaged 50 rbds/game, Dream would make him dizzy in a jiffy
They're called Kobe fans.
This surely is a troll thread but I don't think Iris is a troll.. confused. It's hard to be the record holder in blocks and be on D plus the multiple DPOY
Hakeem was not overrated. No one who's retired now is overrated by the other retired players. Maybe the games you saw didn't impress you or you have short term memory, but Hakeem would destroy any center in the league today, no questions asked.
I'm neither a troll or making a troll thread. All i'm doing is speaking the truth, that a guy like Hakeem shouldn't be considered as better than Duncan and Shaq.
dream would dreamshake big ty so hard his little wang would flop one way and his body would flop the other
we not talkin' bout steve nash, are we? hakeem plays no D and he was like the all-time leader in rebs and the runner up in blocks, is that even possible? i don't like the rockets nor the H-town which's the dumbest major US city imho but you gotta show some respect to hakeem tbh
And MJ has sure shown a penchant for evaluating talent.Yep...MJ said his top 5 all time is:
MJ
Hakeem
Magic
Bird
*Pippen...
* we all know he'd replace Pippen with Kobe but it's just not the PC thing to say
Give me some of what you're smoking.
I don't agree. Jordan won 6 times in a row when playing the full season, and beat much better teams than the Rockets en-route to every single one of those 6 times.
When you look at 1991-1998, the worst two champions were Hakeem's two Rockets teams by a wide margin. The worst losing teams were very arguably the two teams Hakeem beat for the le.
So to say Hakeem, captaining the worst two championship teams in an 8 year span, would've beat the best championship team in that span, is ludicrous.
Especially when you consider that the best Bulls teams were from 92-93 and '96. Literally book ending Hakeem's les. That's because those were Jordan's peak years. Hakeem would've beat peak Jordan? Gimmie a break. . .only happens if Jordan got hit by a car before the series.
Rodman was guarding Hakeem a lot of the time in the series Hakeem lit up the Spurs. He gets no blame for Hakeem going off even though Hakeem pretty much scored 2/3rds of his points on him. So no, Rodman wouldn't have shut him down since he's a massively overrated defensive player who frequently didn't contest shots because he wanted that extra second or so to get in position for another rebound. Kevin Love does the same . Stay in front, rarely contest (or contest weakly), get the rebound.
I would take my chances with a prime Duncan guarding him. He doesn't bite on fakes for blocks very often like the other 4 do, and is taller/longer than Hakeem. Hakeem would on Howard, KG, and Rodman though. Not sure about Wallace, but probably would on him too since imo he's worse defensively than Robinson was.
Of course, Hakeem's offense beating other people's defense doesn't mean anything in relation to their defense being arguably better than Hakeem's offense. Hakeem couldn't stop Hakeem either. He'd on a clone of himself too.
It takes a huge leap to say MJ would of won 5 straight les. You could see how much winning those first 3 and he was in his prime and the best player by far. I think they 4 peat in 94 but if dream and drexler team up still I like the Rox in 95, MJ or not. I do agree that the 94 finals was weaker and more boring than the series with spurs nets even though people give the Spurs .
Hakeem is rated accurately by the media and other players, but he's probably overrated on the Internet, tbh..
on the flip side, op's momma was pretty underrated back in her day actually man that can go
real talk...you may not realize it because you do it so often..but for a white racist you sure are riding the BLACK / AFRICAN MAN's like WHITE ON RICE...dream would dreamshake big ty so hard his little wang would flop one way and his body would flop the other
go ahead lil homie do ya thug thizzle
LOL calling the Knicks a cinderella team. They were 2nd in the East that season. Irishock continues to prove what a dumb he is.
those 2 finals years....ppl think he played like that his whole career...
