Hakeem Olajuwon the GOAT?

If you don't love the Houston Rockets and understand what Hakeem Olajuwon brought to the city of Houston , you should leave the internet.

 

r u Dyslexic? Two rings already imply WCF appearance. No need to count twice.

 

Hakeem until age 30 : zero rings, zero MVP, 1 Finals

Harden at age 27 : zero rings, 1 possible MVP, 1 Finals, 1 WCF

just facts bro

 

Idiot, Dream made the finals in his second year and the WCF,
you an fudge the stats if you want to disrespect Hakeem, but we know.

On top of that you aren't a Rockets fan.

 

Hakeem until age 30 : zero rings, zero MVP, 1 Finals

How old is Harden again?

 

Who the hell cares about age? Just results for the time with the Rockets.

Fake ass Rockets fan.

Real Rockets fans would love to see an NBA Finals , they got that in the 2nd year with Rockets

 

Harden is probably as old as your parents

 

Exactly how much Hakeem achieve when he was 27 years old?

 

Age 24

 

So did he win a ring? What about other times that Hakeem couldn't get past the 1st rounds? That happened a lot too

 

that was his second year in the league.

If you are not a Rockets fan and don't respect Hakeem Olajuwon, I suggest you leave Clutchfans.
Clutchfans was named after Clutch City, the championships Hakeem helped win for the city of Houston.

Fake Rockets fans have been known not to enjoy this site

 

You are not a Rockets fan because you don't respect Harden.

If Harden wins MVP this year, Harden would achieve much more than Hakeem was able to at his age.

You said out of 18 years

3 Finals
5 WCF Appearances

You are trying to show facts differently to disrespect the Greatest Rocket of all time.

You can't hide how fake of a Rockets fan you are though.

And you act like 2 Rings mean nothing, those 2 Rings mean everything for a Rockets fan.

 

I love Harden. The difference between you and me is that you don't love the Rockets.

 

You are purposefully counting numbers twice to make Hakeem look better

2 rings (94, 95) + 1 Finals (86) + 1 WCF (97) is the most accurate way to put it

 

No you don't, because you always denigrate Harden by comparing him to Hakeem, when Hakeem was far from perfect himself.

 

Do you realize Hakeems 80s team imploded because of drug suspensions and injuries?

Harden made the finals as the bench guy (granted he was arguably as good or better than the starters), Hakeem was the best player on his team.

Harden has been inconsistent in the playoffs, Hakeem is one of the greatest playoff performers of all time, including before he was 27. Everyone talks about Hardens offense being better than Hakeems offense in the regular season, but Hakeems playoff offense is better.

 

Rockets have been one and done in the playoffs 3 of the past 4 years.

 

Huh? That's the most inaccurate way to put it.

You would never say: "Hakeem had one finals appearance and won two rings." The syntax is all wrong.

You could however state: "Hakeem made 3 finals appearance, winning two rings."

It's not double counting, because he in fact did play in 3 finals series, 4 WC series, won 2 rings, and won 2 finals MVPs. All of those are facts. No one is skewing the facts, all this is recorded history.

Now if you disagree those facts make him GOAT or even top 5, you are free to disagree. The facts, however, do not change.

 

Well now you're talking about team success.

Well guys like Wilt, Kobe and Garnett also had stretches where they didn't wing rings or go deep in the playoffs because they didn't have enough help.

Heck if LeBron hadn't left Cleveland for Miami he might still be ringless.

I don't agree with using voter awards like MVP as a real measure. Hakeem was the better player through age 27 imo.
