My top 5- 1) Hakeem- quite simply the best big man ever to play the game. 2) Elvin Hayes- I loved him since he was at UH and outplayed Lew Alcindor in the Dome in 1968 3) Clyde Drexler- I put him here for sentimental purposes. His arrival in Houston was like a fairy tale of the hometown kid coming back to win a title. 4) World B. Free- can't beat the name 5) Ralph Sampson- had his knees been stronger, he, not Hakeen, would have been the best big man ever.
