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

[woah316]

bron and hakeem got 2 totally different skillsets

but talent (natural abilities) lebron>>>>>

faster, stronger, jumps higher, better court vision

Thank you for restoring sanity.

These niggas get confused about talent vs being a great player and shit.

All I told dude was, you cant say hakeem is second to Jordan and have him ahead of say, both kobe and lebron. Kobe is a better player / champion and Lebron is more talented, whichever way you want to judge hakeem, he's not better than BOTH of those guys in those 2 seperate ways.

 

[woah316]

The funny thing is, while Kareem and Shaq had the best perimeter players in the league on their squad, Hakeem had a team filled with role players. The only equivalent would be for him to play with MJ.

*remembers when detroit took out a team with 4 hall of famers (yea 2 were washed up)*

Everybody knows a cohesive team will trump talent anyday. The bulls could've easily taken out Miami last year, with 3 superstars vs 1, if they had just ONE other decent ROLE PLAYER (didn't have to be a superstar) that could score a damn basket on his own.

So lets not boost hakeem up to much just because of that. Everything is relative and you have to put everything in perspective.

You're saying comparing Hakeem to Kobe/Kareem is like comparing Eli to Peyton?

I'd say the guy that played in his conference....Mitch Richmond.

Yes especially when u compare hakeem to kareem I know kareem was b4 alot of our time but kareem was winning xhampionships when hakeem was shittin in his diapers. Kareem was a phenom in his time. This is no disrespect to hakeem but he is like a lil brother to kareem aka lew alcindor.

 

[Mister B.]

Kareem = Joe Montana

Hakeem = Brett Favre

Favre's still great, but Super Joe is the GOAT QB.

cosign, Kareem is >>>MJ in my book. he dominated for 20 years, he avg. 19 and 11 at 42 years old...........to put that in perspective, Shaq at 39 averaged like 7 and 5

 

[one_manshow]

Only on the IC will kids compare a guy who lost in the finals twice to a proven legend...smfh

 

[gman82]

I have to co sign. Hakeem was the man, 2nd to only Jordan.

 

[Coo Coo Cal's Beanie]

this shit is ridiculous. He's the most SKILLED player in NBA history. He's not the greatest. There is a difference

 

[CockMcStuffins]

Only on the IC will kids compare a guy who lost in the finals twice to a proven legend...smfh

NBA finals losses

Kareem - 4(6 wins)

Magic - 4(5 wins)

Bird - 2(3 wins)

Shaq- 2(4 wins)

Kobe - 2(5 wins)

Hakeem -1(2 wins)

Finals losses don't mean shit bruh....look how many all these greats have but aren't they all compared to each other?

And anybody would take their finals record over hakeem's any day of the week

 

[Jdilla26]

And Kareem was winning almost all of those championships as Magic's sidekick. Kareem was past his prime when the Lakers were winning titles, but he had the benefit of playing with multiple hall of famers and all stars, as opposed to Hakeem who spent most of his prime surrounded by role players.

Hakeem was much better when the Rockets were winning championships than Kareem was when the Showtime Lakers were winning theirs.

This comparison makes no sense.

What are u talking bout magic sidekick are u serious dude do ya history kareem wasnt nobody sidekick instead of looking up kareem lookup lew alcindor do ya history dude kareem was winning championships in the late 60s with the Milwaukee Bucks....... So ur comparison to hakeem to kareem makes no senzse

its time u admit that Kareem playd wit HOFers. We talkn Big O, magic, worthy etc while Hakeem wuz carryin Role players to championships(xcept Clyde).

 

[DOPEdweebz]

A prime Hakeem from 95-96 was the second most unstoppable player of all time, but his prime was short, and he isnt the second greatest of all time. Sorry.

You dont think Kareem ever carried anybody to a championship.......LMAO He didnt play with Oscar until after Big O prime but that doesnt matter Kareem won 3 MVPs in his 1st five seasons so stop it............Rookie of the Year, member of six NBA championship teams, six-time NBA MVP, two-time NBA Finals MVP, 19-time All-Star, two-time scoring champion

cosign, thats why I said Prime Hakeem, no center in NBA history couldnt check Hakeem in 93-96. Thats why I call him thebest center ever (only Kareem brings a powerful debate vs Olajuwon)

 

[CockMcStuffins]

Kareem was better than hakeem and had the better career

It ain't even close

 

[ROFL.GUY]

Hakeem was the most skilled bigman of all time..

lets be real.. if MJ didnt retire he would have 0 rings

Clyde drexler in his prime was a beast!

 

[jek]

I agree...As good as the Dream shake was Kareem made the sky hook the most unstoppable weapon in the history of the league. As far as post moves are concerned Hakeem,Kevin Mcale, and Tim Duncan has the goat footwork but Kareem was the best center ever, then Handel but both should be in everybody's top 5-7 if you know anything about the game of basketball.
