After having read many of the posts on this board I am *completely* befuddled by the lack of respect for Hakeem. Almost all of you are judging him based on last season's performance, which was basically ruined by his breathing problem and the injuries. I will say this, Hakeem is at *least* the best backup center in the league. He will play a very important role for the Rockets this year and he should not be forgotten. If Hakeem comes back strong this year, expect the Rockets to be at or near the top of the division. I just can not figure out how all of these fans could have forgotten about the man who only 5 years ago was the best center in the league! ------------------ I am the game -- because I am that damn good.
