Hakeem "Abul" Olajuwon is the 2nd Greatest Player in NBA History.......

[PanchoYoSancho]

No argument here.

Imagine if he had Magic or Kobe in the prime of his career like Kareem and Shaq. Drexler was still a good player for a couple of years in Houston, but he was way past his prime. Barkley was a has been in Houston too.

i agree with the premise of this thread.

However, Hakeem had a solid supporting cast both years he won a championship. Calling players like Otis Thorpe, Kenny Smith, Vernon Maxwell, Robert Horry, Sam Cassell, straight BUMS is ignorant. i was living in Houston at the time and lived through both championships and i can tell right now you ain't watch a single one of them games so why you even speak on it like you know? you can watch youtube and read stats all day but at the end of the day you're still bullshittin about what you think you know.

Besides, you failed to mention anything about the Twin Towers days when Hakeem won the Western Conference with Ralph Sampson. that's strike 2 that shows me you ain't about shit but stanning any player just because they from Africa, as usual.

Or better yet, take out Parish and put in Hakeem in that Celtic team. It woulda been a wrap. Hakeem's combination of speed,size and athleticsm plus footwork wil never be witnessed in the game. His low post moves wuz a joy to watch.

Cmon white boy, is KD,Duncan or MJ from Africa? I recognize greatness when i see it. So i dint mention Ralph Sampson? Oh yeah, i dint mention that Hakeem is no. 9 in steals. So what u sayin? I remember my cuz gave me tapes of that Lakers-Houston series and i watchd all dem games. Do you know Maxwell averaged 13.7ppg on 37% shootin? Thats the 2nd best performance on that houston team. All them 4 players are nuthn special. They jus on the same level as fox,fisher,bowen etc.

 

[Mumo 13X]

props to Hakeem, but no...
Jordan, Magic, Kareem, Wilt, Russel, Bird >>>

I giv u MJ but how is Magic,Kareem,Wilt,Russel,Bird better than Hakeem

 

[themadlionsfan]

Russell better than The Dream?.....I need to know why

 

[CockMcStuffins]

The second best player of all time wouldn't allow his team to get swept in round 2 while trying to 3peat

Wait, what?

 

[CockMcStuffins]

Hakeem is top 5 tho

 

[Mumo 13X]

Russell better than The Dream?.....I need to know why

im wit u on that. If Hakeem Outplayd Shaq, dominated Hakeem, humiliated D-Rob and totally outclassed and clownd parish,Ewing and Mutombo what makes them think he wouldnt do the same to Russell and Wilt who playd in a weak era?

Sir, do you know how many years Hakeem stayd on that houston shitty team. He won 2 championshps wit 4 Derek Fishers.

 

[Mumo 13X]

Hakeem is top 5 tho

which 4 players would u put above Hakeem? And state clearly why they are better than him

Yes I know l, I live in Houston and watched basically all rockets games since 1990

Hakeem had help bro. They ran through some great teams....suns with chuck and kj., spurs with admiral, jazz with Malone and Stockton, Knicks, and magic with Shaw and penny

He was by far the best player, but he had help.

More skilled or had better careers?

ok first off, if you truly want to recognize greatness than spell the man's name right:

it's Hakeem Abdul Olajuwon and no need for quotations.

second off, you cite 1 stat line and call it justification as to why you can say the whole team was bums. i can go through and pull stats for any 1 of these players that will clearly show they weren't bums. if you want one, Otis Thorpe had a better FG% for the 93-94 regular season and play-offs than Hakeem. according to you Otis Thorpe was a bum though.

also don't sleep on Rudy T he was a great coach that elevated that whole team.

Russell better than The Dream?.....I need to know why

I was alittle confused by that as well

why u tryin hard son! Abdul is a muslim name and its pretty common in africa. So dont try and play smart by tryna discredit me. Lets stick to basketball. Fact is Hakeem Allah dint play in great teams like MJ,Magic,Bird,Bill,Wilt,Kareem,Kobe,Shaq. I could care less for those bums. Scott Brooks,vernon etc aint HOF Talent

More skilled or had better careers?

both

I hear u. Jus a quick question, did he win with HOF talent In they PRIME like Kobe,MJ,Shaq,Bill,Wilt,Magic,Kareem,Big O? Remember when Clyde joined Rockets he wuz past his prime. Imagine if Hakeem had a payton,KJ or even stockton. He woulda won atleast 4 titles

 

[woah316]

As far as just overall skills / intangibles, I might put Kobe slightly above Hakeem as far as a 2way player...

Kobe's will / determination / killer instinct is 2nd to only Jordan. He has 5 titles and 7 finals appearences.. Won multiple titles with 2 completely different teams...

Yea, I'm sorry Kobe above Hakeem.

Easily top 3 most skilled of all time. For his size(he was around 6'10, not 7ft as listed) he was very mobile, quick like a 2 guard.

But a alot of players including centers,had better careers

 

[Mdizzle9000]

hakeem the closest to winnin a championship by himself

 

[smittysmith]

If you putting Jordan and Kareem is 1a and b then yeah.....maybe.

Hakeem is the Best center in NBA history
