When he was 33, he married an 18-year old that was chosen before she was legal age, tbh..
those Rocket Cs
Hakeem mentoring Howard
Somebody check Yao Ming's history with women
Maybe that's why Hakeem went to the Raptors, age of consent in Canada is 16 (as I'm sure you know first-hand)
My minimum age is 19, tbh(I'm 25)..if it's borderline, I just wouldn't ask her age, though..
Hakeem's wife definitely looks real young in this picture

Hakeem speaking the truth, and there is no question Jordan played in an era where the rules favoured bigs, whereas Lebron is playing in the most perimeter friendly era of the NBA.
I always thought Olajuwon was better than Jordan.
This for real? Holy![]()
Lefty sure does...
I always believed that Jordan's main advantage over anyone who will appear later on and challenge his GOAT status is his storyline. Yes his stats are great, even advanced stats. But LBJ has shown he can match that at times.
The problem is Jordan's storyline is perfect. The young player struggling to beat the top teams of his generation, who had to get better and better as his team was doing the same. He finally breaks through and then he never stopped winning anymore. In a way I think his two year pause was great for him and the Bulls, because there was no way he'd have won 8 in a row.
By winning almost 6 in a row and then retiring, Jordan created an aura of almost complete invincibility around himself. History says that once Jordan figured it out, he never lost again until he retired. And while this required the good fortune of plenty of other cir stances, it will be almost impossible for any player to recreate a similar storyline. LeBron's already lost 3 finals, one in which he was heavily favorite and he pretty much didn't show up (2011) and one in which while the teams were thought to be somewhat equal they were completeley dismantled (2014). Those blemishes don't exist in Jordan's record. LeBron would have to win a threepeat with the Cavs or something like that to recreate a storyline to rival Jordan's I think.
