    Dream easily. There's no two ways about it. Aside from Jordan he was the most dominant player in his era. He spanked Robinson, ate Ewing's luch and wasn't phased with a young Shaq. He could do it all. It's amazing the lack of respect this man gets. If he played on the lakers or the knicks he would've been regarded as one of the top 3 centers of all time.

    I love PTI, but this isn't even a close argument. Even knicks fans agree Dream was the better player by far. Wilbon is more than likely one of those guys who thinks Jordan would've made a difference in The Rockets' success (he's a bulls fan.) I wish I could have seen that one.

    A better argument would be Dream vs. Jabbar although it's been done.

    It pains me to say this, but how much better is Hakeem vs Robinson. Yes, Dream dominated him one time in the playoffs, but their other head-to-head meetings were virtually draws. Robinson's career #'s are nice also.

    I never saw Wilt play. I know he was suppose to be able to jump from the free throw line and dunk the ball with out a running start but I never saw it.

    As far as Dream goes I am not just talking about a vertical or 100 yard dash speed (although he did not run a sub 10 sec 100 meter. Carl Lewis only ran 9.86 in 91 which was a world record at the time. Perhaps you mean 100 yard dash) I am also talking about coordination, hand speed as well as vertical and quickness. The things I saw dream do his first years as a pro I can't even imagine Duncan or KG doing (athleticaly speaking of course).

    I know Wilt was billed as the greatest athleat of all time and he may have been better but I would have to see it to believe it.
