    Just wondering how would you feel about his accomplishments if you found out Hakeem had taken steroids or any other performance enhancing drugs? What if the Rockets trainers and staff had known about this and hid this and helped him out how would you feel about that? Would you give him a pass if you found out other all stars in the league were doing it or irrespective of how what the others did would you hold him accountable for cheating?

    Again this is COMPLETELY UTTERLY HYPOTHETICAL, Hakeem is a great man and a greater person with great skills/work ethic he would never do it. But just play along here its a long offseason, I just want to hear some thoughts on an interesting thought that crossed my mind while taking the buss to college.

    Hakeem produces HGH and steroids naturally.

    I'd punch Karl Malone in the face.

    No such thing. HGH would only slow Hakeem down.

    If you try to inject HGH and steroids into Hakeem Olajuwon, Hakeem stays the same and his performance is not enhanced, but the steroid molecules and growth hormones get quicker and develop spin moves.

    So you're saying if you inject Hakeem to HGH, he would enhance its performance?

    What a way to misspell controversy.

    A lot of maturity in this board. No wonder it sucks compared to years past.

    Didn't you know?

    :confused:

    Hakeem Growth Hormones were named after the greatest athlete ever. Manufacturers wanted to promote to players that they could reach the Dream level, but only by taking the flesh of his flesh, blood of his blood. Unfortunately, no one was ever able to do what he did again, developed a penchant for demolishing Navy officers, and, thus they have been banned. The world is safer for it.

    Sorry dude. There was no internet in 1978, at least not for public use.

    Nice try though.

    All great steroid molecules and growth hormones have 3 or 4 patented moves. But once injected into Hakeem, they develop 3 or 4 different variations of those 3 or 4 patented moves. And they become unbeatable.

    Steroids in bakestball wouldnt be such an outcry. Biceps,triceps,chest and lats.. are among the weakest muscles in basketball. Assuming they dont train core cause they really dont.

    Wait a minute...

    Did you just complain about thread content without even attempting to offer any kind of quality contribution yourself? Do you not see the hypocrisy in your posting? If you thought the posts sophomoric or lacking in quality, try posting *gasp* a quality, intellectual post of your own.

    I didn't think it necessary to sully the thoughts and memories of not just my favorite player ever, but arguably the greatest big man ever with these unfounded hypotheticals. It's akin to asking a man that was faithfully and lovingly married for 60 years and lost his wife, "what if you found out she was having an affair with your father, brother, neighbor, and boss, throughout your marriage?" What purpose would it serve, other than you getting comic remarks or comically punched in the eye??

    Im bringing up an interesting topic (HGH in sports and what our general thoughts would be if our favorite player had used it), just because you think its nonsense doesn't mean it is. Nobody offered any kind of straight answer whatsoever and gave 3rd grade answers taking the topic off tangent

    Again i gave a huge disclaimer saying Hakeem would've never done it but thats why I said play along and give your thoughts what if he did.

    Are you really comparing sports to a family affair? WTF? its not that serious...its leisure its sports and this is a sports forum to discuss topics, this topic was created to stir some discussion and get my questions answers on what my fellow Rockets fans would've felt and this is a board to discuss such things. Get over it.

    Ok, so aside from "I would be disappointed" to varying degrees depending on the poster, what else are you expecting...other than humor? Just saying, it isn't a very polarizing topic. Maybe if a former teammate accused Dream of it, then you'd get the responses I think you're looking for.
