Just said on "Mike & Mike" that Hakeem was the toughest big man to guard. Would take him over ANY big man...EVER!!
He also said there was one time when McHale was unguardable because .... he smelled so bad. "Get in there and guard him!" "I can't! He stinks!" Lol!
I found a couple of links for this since I had to leave the car before I could hear the broadcast in its entirety. For Hakeem, McHale, and 80's NBA fans, it's a fun listen : 1) Salley starts talking about the dirtiest player on the Bad Boys Pistons teams which leads into McHale : https://youtu.be/cMatgHfewPA?t=37m7s 2) Another McHale reference for smelliest player encounter : https://youtu.be/cMatgHfewPA?t=39m13s 3) Which leads straight into the toughest guys to guard where he ranks Hakeem #1 and McHale #2 and he goes off into Hakeem being the best big man : https://youtu.be/cMatgHfewPA?t=41m 4) They go back in hour 4 to talk about both topics again : https://youtu.be/RhODOr8SAoo?t=2m6s
