    I've always said Kevin Garnett, certainly in the Akeem era when he was leaner.

    None. McDyess a little back in the day, young Amare maybe.

    Absolutely nobody. People can only dream to be able to be anywhere near like Hakeem, the dream.

    Hakeem's style of play will never be duplicated, by anyone.

    If you talk about physical attributes, I would say Amare Stoudemire (before injury).
    If you talk about offensive skills, I would say Luis Scola.
    If you talk about defensive skills, I would say Serge Ibaka.

    Having said that, even a pre-injury Amare with Scola moves and Ibaka defense is not as good as Hakeem Olajuwon in his prime, not even close. That's how good the Dream was!

    Probably Kobe. Not only does Kobe resemble Hakeem in every way possible, with exception to height, he is also the best PG within a five planet radius.

    Well, nobody in the NBA right now that has the size, strength, athleticism, quickness, and agility that Hakeem has. Hakeem has it all. On top of that, Hakeem was so explosive, I don't know if anyone can re-jump off the ground as fast as he can.

    Sarcasm aside, Kobe's footwork is just as good as Hakeem's.
