    Rob was on Mcdonal Douglas show (in LA) and they asked him who he thinks is better at their prome Shaq or Hakeem.
    He said Shaq is a great power player but Hakeem has finess and power and shoots his free throws better. Also since he ( Robert) is also a finess player he likes Hakeem' game better. All and all he said both are great players and he would have to see what day is to pick one

    Doesn't Robert want to come back to Houston? We could use his experience on giving the entry pass to the low post. I would love to seem him in the new digs.

    I remember a thread a few months back that had people in an uproar where Robert said Shaq was better.

    Make up your mind Bob! ;)

    Give him a break... that was during an interview RIGHT AFTER THEY WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP in New Jersey. How would you feel, if Steve Francis was getting interviewed after Yao Ming just dominated a series, and he said, "uhh.. I still think Bradley is better."

    Robert was obviously living in the moment... its good to see that he's stuck with what he's always felt deep down: There will never be a center who has all the skills Hakeem had.

    Horry had alot more fun playing on the Houston teams of the mid 90's rather than the Lakers of today. The Rockets had awesome chemistry, and the players were a very tight knit bunch who trusted one another. The Lakers team is focused around a shameless self-promoter in Shaq, and an outsider in Kobe.
