Hakeem Olajuwon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Antonio]

hakeem was amazing. one of the greatests to ever play the game and he only first touched a basketball at the age of 13. that said, KAREEM was the greatest center to ever play the game, and even skillwise, he definitely rivals Hakeem with his amazing arsenal and footwork. id put 1.kareem 2.wilt 3.russell 4.hakeem 5.shaq...thats my personal top 5.

other than wearing purple and gold what makes kareem more skilled than hakeem?

ask these guys:

Somebody said Howard is the 10th best C in history.

A moron, but it was just one. I do agree with their top-5 tho'.

P.S. If you wanna know the two guys who destroyed your Russell dude they are Thorpe and Webb. If it wasn't for them he was n.1.

5 guys only said Kareem was the best C ever.
4 guys said Wilt was the best C ever.
10 guys said Bill was the best C ever. But two guys said he was #5 and #6, destroying him.

NIK, keep ignoring BSPN, please.

yeah, them 2 must be stat-guys


i remember seeing that way back, BS

Hakeem destroyed Ewing, Robinson, and O'neal all within a 14 months span. He fucking owned those guys with his stellar skills.

thats not my only source, it's the only list i found when i googled "top 10 centers"...any source will tell you that Kareem>Hakeem, even the dumbfucks at espn. to claim otherwise is just plain dumb.

Yeah but we were saying Hakeem was more skilled, faster, had better footwork and better movements, and even arguably a better signature move than Kareem. Nobody here is saying Hakeem is the best Center in the History of basketball. It's like saying Ray Allen has the best shooting tecnique in the NBA: it doesn't mean he's better than Jordan, lol.

actually, some people are tryna say that Hakeem is better overall. LOL...and ask anyone who played against Kareem, there is absolutely no signature move better than the skyhook...PeACe
