& you didn't even mention his defense. When he retired he was top 10 ALL-TIME in blocks & steals, as well as top 10 in scoring & rebounding. Has there been a more complete big in league history?Hakeem played in an era when teams actually ran half-court sets, and slowed down the pace of the game by playing defense. Even still, it’s completely obvious he could create his own shot, and would thrive in an era like today. He likely had the best footwork, offensive moves repertoire, and ballhandling we’ve witnessed at the 5 spot to date.

If Dream had 4+ rings, he'd belong in the GOAT convo imoOnly Duncan is even close IMO. Unless you want to count Barkley as a big. Certainly no more complete at the 5 spot.
MJ was lucky he didn't face Hakeem in the FinalsIf Dream had 4+ rings, he'd belong in the GOAT convo imo
I've explained that before. A center like hakeem needed to be fed in the post. Lots of centers today, like Jokic, AD, ect. Can take the ball from baseline off the dribble to the rim. Hence creating their own shot. Hakeem had no ability outside, and needed his point guard to find him
@PRESIDENT TRUMPFor fucks sake dude. Did you ever watch these dudes you're shitting on?
