    Flyin Ryan... I can probably run faster than him and he has one of those faces you just wanna hurt. So while he gets beaten up, I'll already be halfway around the block.

    Currently, Chuck Hayes or Kyle Lowry

    Past, Akeem, not Hakeem Olajuwon or Ron Artest.

    I'd mess with anybody without regard if Akeem had my back.

    Probably Chuck Hayes on the current roster. Definitely Artest or Mad Max for past Rockets.

    since when did a 6-6 guy become more intimidating than a 7-6 monster?

    Current: yao

    All time: Hakeem/Artest

    Man, all you gotta do is kick Yao as hard as you can at his foot and he's down.

    Yeah, his blinding speed, and strong bones will definitely intimidate opponents. Besides your enemy will probably be too busy trying to get an autograph and pictures taken with Yao to even remember you exist. Good call.

    Depends.
    If we are in the States, probably Ron (from the past), 'cause you know he has seen some crazy shat. I mean, he was apart of a pick up game where a guy got murdered with a table leg. I mean...what?
    So I figure he's not going to hesitate when something nuts goes down.

    If we are in China, come on, Yao.
    The man rolls deep.......deep.

    Young Akeem Olajuwon.

    Current roster: Probably Brad Miller. He might just have a gun with him.

    I wasn't sure about this thread, but not that I got into it, absolutely sweet!

    I'm with the Akeem backers, that guy had a mean streak!

    Currently I'll take miller.. he's one of those guys that look like he doesn't care what happens to him as long as he finds a way to hurt you he's happy. Those guys are not the one you wanna fight! :grin:

    If I was fighting you and Yao had your back, I would just stomp on his foot then punch you in the nose. I say "Akeem" cuz he never backed down in his younger days, but out of current players i would say SCOLA. Rugged and scrappy. He would be a helluva prize fighter. Rocky Balboa type.

    If I was to take a beat down, Scola would take it with me and he would keep getting up even after I stayed down. Kyle lowry same.

    Kevin Willis.

    Even saw him in person once at the Galleria. He looks like a boxer who is 7 feet tall. He would crush people.

    :grin:
