    You need a real coach like Rudy T. Not a cheerleader clown like McHale masquerading as a coach.

    93-94 & 94-95 Rockets knew their role. That is the secret. Mario/Max/Horry/Thorpe/Drex/Hakeem could all defend their position as well as help out on other players.

    Clutch City is the pure definition of what is good and right in the world.

    The new rules. Hakeem would be limited be a stretch 4 which would be good. He can do it.

    shhhh, don't talk to rookies.

    rookies are too stupid to know that the elites of the 90s had to play with the hand check rule.

    Oh I know about that but even Hakeem's moves in the post would be deemed too physical for the defense by today's standards of officiating. Hakeem would have develop an even better jumper and become a weave in and out of the post stretch 4/5 type of player.

    Hakeem Olajuwon is the greatest Rocket of All time,

    he helped create Clutch City, which is the greatest Rockets achievement of all time.

    Time is a circle and Hakeem would dominate at any point in the circle.

    Dream is forever.
