How can they learn to read if they can't even fit inside the building? The highlight of KJ's career is a free-arm? Niiiice. Rack him.
here is the come from behind block by dream along with some other vintage hakeem... http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/Rockets_200203_Broadcast_Feat-60955-34.html It is close to the bottem of the page labeled "hakeem tribute" definately worth looking at.
Hakeem would block everything, he would run down the court and chase faster players and just throw the ball into the stands
Thanks guys. I watched the tape last night, and it was Game 4. As others have mentioned, Hakeems blocks (he had like 3 right before he got dunked on) were pretty amazing, especially the one where he made a driving KJ dish to CB4 then immediately swatted CB4's shot with no contact. I will watch Game 3 tonight. I remember Maxwell going nuts.....
i don't know what's more impressive about hakeem's blocks on strickland and kj. the fact he blocked them or the fact he was enough of a competitor to actually try. i mean, how many people would have even tried on the kj one? he was on a friggin' breakaway. and on the strickland one he caught it going the other direction at halfcourt and he's a guard and you're a big man, might as well give up. unfrigginbelievable. combine that with the fact he was able to chase down starks so fast within just a few steps and get that fingertip on his game 6 three and you see why hakeem is the arguably the greatest defender ever. unreal athleticism combined with unreal instinncts and timing, combined with unreal drive. but that kj dunk was still pretty impressive even if hakeem wasn't in perfect position.
