Rockets have had a lot of players from that top 100 list play for them.

So BR released one of their lists and while I can agree with most of those above Dream, but 3 of them I cannot and those are: Kobe, Curry and Shaq.

Here’s my case:

Shaq needed Kobe and Kobe needed Shaq and later Pau. Dream had Thorpe and old ass Drexler as his 2nd man for those 2 trophies. Plus skill wise and taking both sides of the floor into account, then both of those + Curry are not better. Shaq 1-on-1 would lose plain and simple and only had his power, Dream had everything else.

Curry got KD for 2 of the 4 rings. Compare Dream’s teams vs Curry and the latter had easily the better team for 3 out of 4. Olajuwon’s defense is all-time great vs Curry’s offense all-time great, which cancels each other out. Now Olajuwon offense vs Curry defense to me is easy who takes that.

Unless you argue that somehow Curry’s gravity on offense and elite shooting is better than anything Olajuwon did on defense or even offense and I’ll counter with: footwork + creative moves on offense and defensive accolades. And to add one more for Kobe: he was not elite enough on either side to warrant a place above Dream.

Thoughts? And who would you agree Dream should be above those 3? Or do others deserve in top 10 over him or are others in the current top 10 who should be lower than Dream? Please make your case if you believe so.

Get Bird and Duncan out. Put Dream and Kobe in
