    Of course it takes skill. Didn’t see Hakeem banking everything from 18 feet. Different skill sets. Hakeem was better because he had the skill and insane athleticism. Duncan had the skill and good athleticism.

    Timmy was occasionally clutch, but also missed some free throws and made some errors during winning time--and Rudy T was right as Big Shot Bob Horry won him a championship.

    Dream was always Clutch except for that time Kupchak got him swinging--but even then, Dream inspired the rest of the team to victory.

    That isn’t a real argument, imo. Dream is on a different level. It’s like comparing Kobe to MJ.

    Lol dream before he found his religion, Akeem, was just a fierce force at all levels and took no **** and was a hot head. Dream was born and took all that fierce energy and put it into his game. I mean the dude literally had the craziest numbers during fasting with NO food in his stomach.

    Sadly, hes not a good self promoter, and many in the league don't truly appreciate him beyond the box scoe at atimes.
    His moves, foot work, skill, vision, poise, defensive timing was just suffocating.

    Even MJ realized he was embarassing shaq because he wasn't a normal center, he was before his time

    "“That’s the way the game is going. The dominant center is starting to be eliminated. You haven’t had a dominant center win a championship in eight years, and don’t talk about Olajuwon. He’s a small forward playing center.”"


    The finals that never was because jordan didn't get the job done in 95. It would've shown what I know, hakeem the GOAT.

    People forget that Hakeem could take down Kareem Abdul Jabbar if his backcourt didn't get caught for what the Lakers backcourt was doing.

    The videos are impressive, but seeing him move in person was sometimes other-worldly. The torque on some of those spins was ridiculous and the speed in which he ran the floor was insane for a big.
