    i agree with rudy, hakeem is the best all around (versatile) center ever.

    it's hard for basketball historians to put anyone in the same class as wilt, russell, and kareem. talking about versatility is a great way to get hakeem in the convo every time.

    All this talk about players getting injured from the 82 game grind + playoffs really tells you how much the game has changed.

    How can you not love him? One of the most creative centers I've ever seen play the game.

    Stop living in the past man. I hate threads lik this because it doesn't and shouldn't do anything to add excitement to Rockets fan.

    Would you rather see some random idiot such as tinman praises Hakeem lik he is your god or would you rather see the rockets woop the Laker's ass?

    It is a good thing to respect your legend, but if you're overdoing it with one such thread in every week than it becomes annoying.

    I rather watch every season that Olajuwon played (besides his last season which never happened) rather than watch this Rockets team. Bringing the past brings great memories which brings happiness and joy into a Rockets fan.

    A once a week reminder is awesome.

    we're 0-2 against the Lakers this year.
    when is this 'woop the Laker's ass' thing.

    Maybe you should watch the Rockets play and stop playing your wii.

    You must have not seen the Dream play live. Dream still deserves to be praised. I wish he would come back and be a coach on the team.

    Tinman your awesome! Don't listen to any haters. Hakeem was the best and will always be #1 in my heart. So keep doin what u do. When I eventually have a son, I'm naming him Hola, which is hello in spanish, and his middle name will be Juwan. So when he's a basketball star, everyone will be screaming Hola Juwan! :D I hope I have a wife that's okay with that.

    I like watching these videos as much as anyone but at some point I feel like the old HS football star who peaked at 18.

    I wish the Rox would win now :(

    its funny how the haters hate so much they decide to post in the thread that they hate.

    the Dream? for the rookies, take a wild freaking guess who every single Clutch Crew member thinks is the best Houston Rocket player in all of Eternity.

    Do r****d Bulls fans get angry when some one talks about Jordan? Hey stop living in the past, we have Joakim Noah and Kirk Hinrich!
    :rolleyes:
