    No going to put a poll on this one. Think of it as an educational video.

    Remember when the #1 seeded Mavs lost to the 8th seed Warriors?

    Dirk was on that team.

    You don't even need to be a Rockets fan to realize how dumb this question is. I got mad respect for Dirk, but come on, he isn't even in the same universe as Hakeem.

    Serious question:

    How does Dirk's defense compare with Hakeem's?

    People in New York in 1994 thought Patrick Ewing was better than Hakeem.

    Believe that not everyone knows.

    They made this video because someone felt it was a question that was needed to be asked.

    Trust me I already knew the answer. I watched the Dream probably 100 times in person. But they played different positions. It is not an apples to apples comparison. A better question would be "who is better Dirk or Malone".

    Dirk? Him? Really?

    If people want to give Dirk the one-legged fadeaway that's fine. Just acknowledge that Dream was doing it first. It was one of many, many weapons he had.

    Go write to USA Today and tell them that you dislike that video because it doesn't meet your standards.

    I didn't make it.

    And people thought that the Admiral was better than the Dream. In fact they gave Robinson the MVP. We saw how that turned out. People are generally stupid.

    Well the MVP trophy is for the regular season, not for who's better.

    Dream was injured for many games in 95 and the Spurs had the better record.

    I think Robinson deserved the MVP. I was fine with Hakeem winning the Finals MVP.
