Hakeem MVP question (Just for fans who lived in the 90s)

I was mad he didn't win it. Dream was so humble and gracious. To hear he was upset about it seemed strange at the time for his character. I still haven't seen a player disrespect another HOFer in that fashion. What dream did was snatch the soul out of the Admiral on live TV. Story goes Dream walks around with that soul in one of those purple crown Royal bags to this day.

 

Hakeem was pure class, on and off the court. Yes, he was immature in his younger days, but he is a prime example of how someone can grow both as a player and a human being. This wallpaper from the Clutchfans archives perfectly describes him.

 

Dream was on another level against the spurs, he was finally healthy and I'm guessing it had to be a little bit of everything on the poll.p

 

@timnan was not even fan untile 1999 but I was fan befor sense 1991

 

I'd rather just cut to the jace - I mean cut to the chase - and ban everybody with multiple accounts... smh... just nonsense...

 

i had to go on a family outing to disneyland the day of game 4. i was really pissed. until i peeked into a restaurant there and saw us losing on tv anyways.

 

After game 1 , we all knew who the real MVP was.
Game 5 solidified it!!!

 

He was the MVP and proved it. Period.

 

You do realize, the rockets have a huge Asian fan based, not located in merica’, who’s first language surely wasn’t American....

 

It still amazes me what hakeem did.. and people talk about some records like stocktons 3000+ steals. the one season record that i dont think will be touched is 300+blocks and 200+steals. There have been hardly a center get 100+ steals and Hakeem got 150+ on regular basis, he got 213 steals, thats averaging 2.7 spg for an entire 82 season, he had 4 seasons where he eclipsed the 2 spg mark.. He was like Chris Paul only playing center... thats what amazes me about him.. We know he is an all-time greatest shot blocker, but he wasn't far from being an all time greatest in steals as well.

 

He was pissed he had to fast. Which brought down his numbers.

 

I don't give a dang about who got the trophy. I know who the best player was, and he proved it. The rest is history. I never hear people talk about Robinson's MVP season. I hear how he was dominated in the WCF by the best player I ever saw, after he won the "award".

 

No buddy I’m not, I know exactly what both mean. Your the one passing judgement chief. Improper grammar and misspelling is common for 2nd languages....

 

Huh? Sarcasm?

It was just the opposite. Hakeem was a beast during Ramadan. He just looked even that much quicker, alert and focused.

 

I was 24 and 25 during the back-to-backs living up in Addison,Texas. What a time to be alive.

I grew up in Alief in the 70's, been there and have done that as far as being gutted by failed Houston sports. This however was the most joyous time in my life aside from my first and only child.

I don't know if it was true but I recall Vescey or someone saying something to the effect that the media was reluctant to do long interviews with Dream due to his accent and the inability for TV audiences to fully understand what he was saying so you never really got much out of him after the games or anywhere else.

As a fan you had to ACTUALLY pick up a paper and read his quotes the next day

It was a far different world back then and one that may soon forget what a great team and great player he was. We wont ever forget and that's all I care about. No one can ever take those championships away
