    Hakeem vs Russell, Wilt, and Jabbar

    Finally, someone who agrees with me. I didn't see Wilt or Russell live, but I've studied their careers extensively, and I agree with everything...

    Hakeem vs Russell, Wilt, and Jabbar

    See one of ArtisGilmore's posts or one of mine. There were several HOF centers in that era. Erick Dampier would get his butt kicked in that era...

    Nice to hear from someone who saw them play. I did not, except in clips, but I've studied their careers. I'm just offering my opinion. I wish I...

    Hakeem vs Russell, Wilt, and Jabbar

    If anyone could've approached Wilt's numbers in that era, it would be Shaq.

    Hakeem vs Russell, Wilt, and Jabbar

    Hakeem couldn't stop a young Shaq in the 95' finals. I don't see him stopping Wilt from backing into the lane, unless he sent Wilt to the line,...

    Yes, I agree Hakeem has the edge in pure basketball skills. And Wilt was absolutely pathetic at the line, Russ not much better. And your one on...

    Hakeem vs Russell, Wilt, and Jabbar

    Yeah, there were. From all accounts, the play in the 60's and 70's was far rougher than the 90's. You didn't show up the other team, because you'd...

    Sure, to some extent. But citing one playoff series isn't going to convince me. Wilt's dominance got him two titles. Hakeem's got him two....

    Hard to compare eras, but several would thrive in Hakeem's era, IMO, especially with the advantages players now have: better conditioning, weight...

    Hakeem vs Russell, Wilt, and Jabbar

    Russell played against the same competition Wilt did, so I don't see your point. I do believe Kareem could've won with Hakeem's cast. The...

    Hakeem vs Russell, Wilt, and Jabbar

    Agree on your evaluation of Wilt and Russell. As for Hakeem in a one on one game, he'd do well, but that's not how I ultimately judge a player....

    Exactly. Hall of Fame competition, and he had to face them a lot more often than Hakeem faced his peers.

    No, not at all. MJ was superior. And I've explained my logic on Russell over Hakeem. Read my other posts.

    Wilt would've been the strongest in any era, except possibly for Shaq. And Hakeem clearly was not unstoppable in college. He was explosive, but...

    I'm not putting Wilt down. I just don't believe he would have fit there like Russ did. They had enough offense without him. They needed defense...

    Russell averaged 15ppg, 22rpg. And he was a very complete player. His teammates have said he could've scored more if that was required, but that...

    I respectfully disagree. The most individually dominant center, far and away, was Wilt. 50ppg, 27rpg in 61-62, 44ppg next season, 100 point game...

    No, but Wilt averaged 30ppg lifetime. He had a finger roll and a baseline fadeaway, and could run the court in his earlier days, plus he was hands...

    They were the best team because Russell was there. Because Russell was the perfect fit. I hope you're kidding about Cato. If they'd had Wilt, they...
