I actually agree. There is more to basketball than scoring. Yeah Jordan scored a basket or two more in his prime. He also got half as many rebounds on a good day, wasn't the leaguer leader in blocks and rebounds, shot almost 7% percent better from the field, all while still joining Jordan as a top 5 nba steals leader. Jordan's offensive superiority didn't outmatch Dream's defensive superiority.
Yes on Robinson: who was just a low post, less oft-injured version of Grant Hill. But, man; as bad as the Spurs were during that '96-97 season, to be winning rings two years later, Duncan's at least as good as Olajuwon.
My opinion is that Jordan is the best player ever and had the better career. but There was a stretch of years and especially the championship years where I would say dream was the best player ever. He dominated both ends of the court and I have yet to see anybody do it like he did.
That's correct. It's much harder to score when you are triple teamed with your back to the basket every game, and yet end up with a higher field goal percentage. Not to mention not having the officiating advantage that Jordan had. I did not know the field goal% advantage that Hakeem had. Wow!
well duh however I dont agree with Horry that NO team hes ever been on could not have beaten his '01 Lakers because hell, they honestly shouldntve made the finals had the Trailblazers had not choked away that 15 point 4TH QUARTER LEAD ask Pippen or Rasheed Wallace if that 01 team was beatable
look at the numbers.. Olajuwan stats across the board is on a whole other level above Duncans.. Tim is one helluva player but no way was he as good Olajuwon.. Just 2 facts real quick- *Olajuwon was the only player ever win the DROY, MVP and NBA Finals MVP in the same season-SICK *Olajuwan is the only player to win a championship with no other All Stars on his team-SICK
TD isn't a PF. He's a center. The only reason he didn't want to be called a center is because he never wanted to play the 5 on the defensive end. When he play with the Robinson, he was the one posting up while Robinson would put up jump shots.
Exactly. Hakeem is more of a PF than Tim is. Hakeem was pretty much acknowledged as a natural PF by literally all players and analysis. I remember with the all-star fantasy, Reggie Miller himself picked Robinson and Hakeem, and justified it by saying he's going to shift Hakeem to the PF spot. If Hakeem played PF, his stats would rocket sky high.
