As time flies, has Hakeem legend fallen for Rockets fans?

Oh come on, you know that the greatest player ever is collectively agreed as being MJ.

And no I am not a fan of T-Mac, I was so glad when we got rid of him this year because now we don't have to deal with a guy that gets injured all of the time and says a lot of things off of the court. I don't even own a T-Mac jersey for goodness sake.

All I am saying is in T-Mac's Orlando days he could take over a game better than the Dream could.

 

Don't start with videos because this is something Hakeem never did.

i appreciate him even more.

He took a bunch of role players and carried them to a championship. Who else has done that, and won?

 

Things that T-Mac never did:
Win an MVP, DPOY, win a playoff series, win championships, quadruple double, lead league in blocks, lead league in rebounds, score efficiently...

 

For me, the longer he's gone, the greater he's gotten. This is not a swipe at yao, but we have been used to dominant post play and have unfairly compared yao to him. I guess thats my frustration. To go from great in moses,to great in dream, to good and unreliable in yao really makes you appreciates dream and moses.

 

please please stop. I don't have a history of getting rude, but you should just stop. You put a clip of a regular season victory against the wizards? Are you kidding me? I am glad that Hakeems highlight is not something like that, or even worse, something 30 seconds long. You want to look an individual stats, why don't we arbitrarily look at t-mac getting a quadruple double like hakeem did?.

But you see, hakeems quadruple double is not his career highlight and not often mentioned when we think of hakeem. When you think of hakeem, you think of a champ who played both sides of the court and one of , if not the, most versatile big man in history.

 

A big reason why C's can't take over the game better than SG's is because of 3 pointers. Sure C's can get and 1's but so can SG's. SG's can put up points at a faster rate. I am not trying to knock Hakeem but it is just the truth.

Tinman, I know I can't change your opinion about T-Mac but will you just agree with me here.

 

I am not talking about T-Mac career for goodness sake. I said nothing about T-Mac as a Rocket.

Hakeem had the better career. I can't say this enough.

But as I have said over and over, the only thing I think is that the Orlando T-Mac was better than the Dream's greatest year. If T-Mac kept it up he could have been an all-time great but he of course didn't thus giving Hakeem the better career.

 

C's can take over the whole game better than wing players. The best way to score points is in the paint/post. Therefore, the most important defender is the center. 3 point shooting wasn't even close to MJ's greatest skill. T-Mac is flat out terrible at 3 point shooting (except for 13 in 35)... career 33.7%

 

Reggie Miller does not have the all around game that T-Mac had. T-Mac in Orlando didn't have a team like Hakeem did in Houston btw. We are not even talking about teams anyways, we are talking individually.

Please just stop this.

 

I think his legend would of been bigger then it is now if he hadn't left Houston for 25 million the Raptors stupidly gave him. But whatever. I thought the Dream was a saint until I watched Beyond the glory story on him.

 

This is all my opinion by the way, I said that in my first post in that Shaq vs Dwight thread. But someone always feels like they need to say something when he hears the name that makes him feel butt hurt. It must be hard living with such a thing like this.

 

You get butt hurt when you hear the name Tracy McGrady.
