@3:30. dude too old to be making this type of statement. There’s nothin in this world Embidd could did that isn’t replicable by Dream.
Not going to bother watching...this looks like classic media clickbait BS...surely RJ is smarter than this, but he's not in the intelligence industry
"That move, we never saw Hakeem do." That's because he was too busy killing other top centers in the post, and never needed to create separation for jumpers using handles.
Lol Olajuwon was a better defender then Bill Russell . Olajuwon I would go as far to say was the most versatile defender ever in his prime. He was freaking sprinter and long jumper in Houston University and freaking goalie in Nigeria. People need to go and watch him run down Kevin Johnson for a epic block like a cheetah stalking his pray against Phoenix to see him in full flight
he wasn't being serious. i mean he was serious that we never saw hakeem do that, but it sounded like gentle mocking of calling all of embiid's moves "hakeem-like."
I liked how Rachel Nichols was just stunned and then just transition to telling people his Twitter account info. Like she doesn't even have to say it's a bad take, we hold these truth to be self evident.
The Step back is really not that hard to fathom. The league is all about Offense now so do not sweat his takes. Hakeem played in an era where offensive possessions were really valuable and not easy to come by. BTW Simmons with the '.....Miss league' bruhaha. Slip n slide.
I think the idea was to get a rise out of his cohosts for entertainment value. What he said is literally true, of course, that’s not a move Hakeem went to, with the between the leg dribble and borderline-travel extended step back. It may not have even been legal in Hakeem’s day.
