    Hakeem could have had another 500 blocks if his teammates would have trusted him as the anchor. How many times did his teammates (Smith, Maxwell, Reid, and the list could go on) foul someone that Hakeem had a clean block?

    And if Hakeem played with these new verticality rules, teams might not score in the paint.

    What an incredible and well deserved honor.

    It's crazy to say as great as Olajuwon was, he's still underrated in most eyes when it comes to centers.

    Watching Hakeem dominate with Calvin and Bill as a kid gave me a love of the game I still enjoy today. GOAT center no hyperbole, congrats!

    Look at this insane two-way skill set and scoring. Also, stay for the interview with Calvin.

    What's more impressive in that list is the players who played the least amount of games and still being there.

    Really hope CP gets his ring. KD is the last hope.

    *Hakeem doesn't need some phony list made by idiots at ESPN. Hes GOATED on any list.
