Even head to head when Kareem was washed up, he SCHOOLED Hakeem, back when Hakeem was still Akeem. It wasn't even close. People forget how great Kareem was. I mean, he was all time great, maybe better than Jordan, but I digress because that's comparing apples and oranges.

Sccit:
i have no problems with anyone claimin kareem as the GOAT

I know people HATE calling a center a GOAT, but when you think about it, he can average 30-34 ppg and 14-16 rpg in his prime, and on top of that he was one of, if not THE GOAT in college basketball, and his production carried to the NBA, where he was the dominate force in the 70's, he dominate an older Wilt when he was young, and a young Hakeem when he was old, and in his prime there was no one comparable. He is easily the best big man ever, and that's without question. Too bad Russell retired at the end of the '69 season, when Kareem was a senior at UCLA, because that would have really made him the bridge between the old guard big men of the 60's, and the stronger big men of the 80's. Kareem in the 70's really worked with a Laker team that had NOTHING, but the Lakers still dominated the Pacific Division and made the playoffs every year. He doesn't get his due at all.

Hack Wilson - real:
if Kareem played 10 years earlier he'd just be another great player who couldn't get passed Bill Russell the GOAT
