    Howard Eskin: "Where does Hakeem fit in? I'd put Hakeem in that top 4"
    Charles Barkley: "Well Shaq got more championships and he was more dominant. And listen, let's get one thing straight too Howard; if Michael Jordan had've played..the Rockets wouldn't have had those championships."

    I don't know if this is even news worth bc it's quite obvious that Barkley has a bone to pick with the Rockets organization. The guy doesn't even talk about his times with Houston ever. It's always Phx and Philly stuff.

    He'll say that T-Mac quit on Houston, but Barkley never did so he can trash Hakeem

    haha. what an idiot. dude's such a clueless idiot.



    Well Chuck, if you got past the Rockets, and you won a championship, I guess it would be tainted.

    Too bad Chuck will never know if his championships were ever tainted.

    He just jealous that he doesn't have any titles. I'm sure if he was on that Rockets team, they would not be "tainted."

    Nothing to see here.

    I disagree with Chuck on this one. Still doesn't take away that he played hard for the Rockets.

    those 7 game series defeats were tough on him.

    Well guess what Chuck... HE DIDNT PLAY!

    I don't get why people always say this.. We'll never really know what would've happened... I think we would've still won them but never the less... The Houston Rockets are the 1994 and 1995 Champs! One persons opinion won't change that!
