By the way the Rox fans here for the most part are way better thant the clutch fans are. I USED to go their site a bit (my grandma) lives in Houston and in my job as a corporate trainer I had the SW region and Texas was part of my area of coverage.
Their fans on clutch the editorials to the papers and the talkshows are wild!!
i think this site has some of their best fans.
1 thing i agree with (posted earlier) hakeem on the Lakers especially during the Magic era would of been epic ...
even after might of been nice ...but you cant assume he would of got 4 les because of MJ ...
BUT he was the 2nd best player to MJ in the NBA for a few years and the best during Mj's baseball career ...
Since I started watching Kareem at the "tail end" of his prime i cant truly compare but excluding Kareem Hakeem is best big man (yes even over duncan) I have ever seen.
Also, until recently I would say you could not of even argued kobe in his class either ...but with the past few seasons I MAy now give Kobe the nod ...but it's close Hakeem was THAT good ...
