    ‘Didn’t watch’
    That’s the majority here who make comments on any Rockets games

    Yes he was awesome and was a key member of the Rockets championships

    a point guard who can pass and shoot
    With little to no turnovers

    That’s because he’s been on TNT
    It’s a national or international audience
    Nobody is going to interview Carl Herrera

    Biggest difference is the competition. Giannis wouldn't have been as successful when Dream played. The league was stacked with quality defending bigs across the board. Now that is antiquity. He glides to dunks. In the 80s and 90s his azz would have gotten the Jordan treatment. Dream would have demolished the NBA today and probably developed a 3. Embiid much more reminds me of Dream. He's nowhere near as good but a shadow yes.

    Dream and Giannis are very similar. Both Nigerian. Both dominate both sides of the ball. Both are humble. Both won a chip by themselves.

    Also notice when Max and Stephen A talked about Jalen Green
    They talked about the great era of drafting centers and NEVER mentioned Hakeem.

    so a member of the media talking about Dream > media pretending he doesn’t exist

    I mean, obviously I think Hakeem was better. But you guys are overreacting. The conversation was fairly nuanced, and it came down to “both guys are relentless and can affect a game in multiple ways.” And they both led a team of role players to a championship.

    Say what you want about Giannis, but the dude is an MVP, DPOY, FMVP who just led his team to a championship by scoring 50 points in a game 7. Again, I think Olajuwon is better. But Giannis put his stamp on the NBA history books this year, so it’s not crazy to compare / contrast the two players.

    Why the hell does Kenny think he would go 3rd.

    What 6'3 PG with his skill set is going 3rd in any draft.

    Pippen 10th?
    Please Pippen is the Barnes / Patrick Williams / DeAndre Hunter of the draft.

    A 4th pick all of them..

    Simmons is a Rockets hater. Kenny is no longer a fan of the Rockets.

    If Tmac and Jeremy Lin had a pizza restaurant
    I would judge it by the Pizza

    nobody bought the Hakeem LA Gear shoes because of the shoes

    People just react to the title and not the content
    But we know that
    @Clutch

    except the Carl Herrera headlines @Os Trigonum
    Cause they cause no reactions

    Sure.. that’s why there’s endless reactions
    For Shannon Sharpe, Skip , Stephen A, Max , Chris Broussard on a daily basis

    you notice the content creator @Clutch
    Doesn’t even get the same reactions as the Kenny Smith threads where people just want to comment on Kenny smith

    when Tmac says anything on the Talk , I watch it before I comment on it

    but that’s me, @Jontro
    Some people watch the crying game and think she’s hot and never finish the movie
