    Obviously majority here will agree Olajuwon is the Greatest Rocket of all-time, and likely GOAT to most of us as well. Granted there's not as much film of players in the past as there are of players now, but we all know Hakeem was the greatest Big footwork wise, and likely all positions of all time. But to me, Harden challenges Hakeem in the Footwork department. I'm not talking about ISO, I'm not talking about Turnovers, Clutchness, etc. JUST FOOTWORK. Who you got as the player with the best footwork?

    Harden

    Olajuwon

    Fantastic thread- these two guys have some of the best ankle-breaking footwork in the NBA, ever.

    I think it's Hakeem. There's something extremely special and difficult with footwork when it involves anchoring and pivoting and Hakeem was a master of it on drives and in the post.

    Agreed, but, different position, different era and rules. Both are masters.
