    Has nothing to do with being a Rocket fan.......Hakeem was a defensive monster and Shaq was an Offensive monster.....both were 2 way players.

    Both are Top 10 of All Time type of players but their game was so vastly different that you cannot really compare.

    But dude still played with the best 2 guards in that era. In their prime or close to their prime.

    How good would Lloyd, Wiggins, and Lucas been if they stayed drug free? Would the Rockets displaced the Blazers in facing off against Detroit and Chicago?

    Was he though?

    I have a hard time putting guys that have no touch and whose game is based entirely on athleticism and strength in that bracket. If you shoot worse than a 10 year old, you can’t be a top 10 of all time.

    Doc was THE right coach for Boston’s Big 3 in oughta. The rest of his 20 years? Well, he gets paid. For those Big 3 years. Oh, how many titles did they win? Should have won?

    I like Doc. Just not as a coach, and definitely not for my team.!

    We used up a lake's worth of water for this crap? Who cares what some AI app says? It's a Rockets board for Rockets fans and what made it great is actual people posting stuff. Keep the AI junk out of here.

    And get off my lawn!

    yes

    and what? Shaq was one of the most graceful big men ever…

    you’re describing Dwight - not shaq. Dude was a ballerina around the rim.

    Shaq might have been MORE graceful than Dwight but I wouldn’t call him graceful or a balllerina… if you give him that title, what is Hakeem? Hakeem had phenomenal footwork. Shaq played bully ball. Even his hook shots were ugly and flat. He was a dunk or nothing player. Dwight was at least a dominant defender, but offensively yes he lacked fundamentals too.

    Doc is an awful coach. I think suggesting he gets opportunities because he's black is ridiculous. Players like him because he lets them get away with whatever they want. Morey is the gm version of him. Harden finally called him on it

    Huh? He was pure power and overrated players. Not my debate but that's an absurd way to describe Shaq

    You don’t know ball… at all if that’s what you think.

    Shaq was nimble as hell
