A while back i posted an excerpt from the book 'who's better who's best in basketball' about hakeem and where he stands statistically and i thought the writer was one who knew his stuff until i read this, now unfortunately i can only post the link as they are jpegs of the book pages from amazon (i was about to buy the book) but it has a couple of pages worth that can make you want to puke... Some of the more ridiculous comments include that - Shaq was the quickest to lead his team to an NBA final (forgetting that hakeem did it one season sooner than shaq) -He was 'devasting' against Hakeem in the '95 finals (forgetting that dream outscored him in every game and the rockets swept his magic) -He has pulled down more rebounds and scored more points than dream, which he he has a LONG way to go before he can match him on both counts. -And lastly that he his teams were 13-6 against rockets and spurs after the 98 season...(because dream was so healthy and so inhis prime Sorry but i can't let dream get dissed like that and not b*tch about it, heres the link...http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0071417885/ref=sib_fs_top/102-0344015-4203301?%5Fencoding=UTF8&p=S00O&checkSum=ttGQV%2BI0Vm5InXV7GHtd95nvJ85gu6%2FgGGHgapuV6tw%3D#reader-page
The part I read said expansion team. It seems that the author will kiss everyone's ass with selective stats and let the readers sort out the debate.
