No, this is not about trading or waiving him, complaining or hating....this is just some interesting milestones that Hakeem stands to reach if he keeps playing beyond this season. He needs: 61 steals to surpass Alvin Robertson for 5th all time. 549 points to surpass Dominique Wilkins for 8th all time. 422 minutes played to surpass Buck Williams for 9th all time. 266 field goals to surpass Alex English in field goals made...6th all time. This year he also passed Elgin Baylor in all time field goals attempted with 20262. As we all know, he is the all time leader in blocks as well...not to mention two rings. WHAT A CAREER! No matter what happens, he was everything that made Houston Rockets basketball great! ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Great post....thank God someone is giving props to The Dream!!!! ------------------ "Chucky who?" Charles Barkley
Hey nobody has denied what Dream has done, he just needs to realize that he is far past his prime and can not be the central focus. Dream is the one begging to be released or sent away from Houston, not the Rockets management. ------------------ Rocket fans UNITE to bring Pig Miller back home! WE NEED PIG! OINK! OINK! OINK!
I didn't want this thread to morph into the same, tired, boring Hakeem "waive or trade" discussions. But I guess it is inevitable given the current circumstances. Oh well...... ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
