    Hakeem won championships. Akeem choked in the finals.

    Hakeem.

    this thread is not well articulated or specified.

    in other words one star.

    That being said, of course, Hakeem

    But would he be better suited for Adelman's offense?

    I'm thinking no. Akeem would be better. More raw. Just wants to dunk. Offense doesn't have to go through him and slow it down.

    Hakeem was much more polished than Akeem.

    Akeem was a hell of a dunker though.

    Hakeem. I believe when he added the 'H' to his name is represented a sign of change from everything to a more complete player, a better disciplined person, and a greater human in his personal life. Didn't he even state something like this?

    Maybe these Rockets need a untamed wrecking machine from Nigeria more.

    Hakeem was the greater center in the history of the Raptors.

    with yao at the center, id have akeem, cause he was thug life back then. Always wanted dunk, grab boards, block shots and didn't give a damn who got in the way. Like a better version of stoudemire, before his surgery.

    And who can't forget about those goggles?

    Why did you ask for opinions again?

    IIRC, they're pronounced the same. the "H" is silent.
