Hakeem at 30?:dahell: garbage list

30. Hakeem Olajuwon, Rockets, 1995

Position: C | Age: 32

Result: Won NBA Finals | Finals MVP

GP PPG RPG APG BPG SPG TS% USG
22 33.0 10.3 4.5 2.8 1.2 56.0 35.9

Olajuwon actually scored more in the Rockets' repeat despite the arrival of Clyde Drexler. The center topped 40 points five times, including three alone in his Western Conference finals destruction of MVP David Robinson. (Olajuwon: 35.3 ppg, 12.5 rpg, 5.0 apg, 4.2 bpg; Robinson: 23.8 ppg, 11.7 rpg, 2.7 apg, 2.2 bpg.) So why does 1995 rate so much lower? Olajuwon wasn't the same defensive presence, blocking shots about 20 percent less frequently than in 1994.

this is appalling....this is a top 5 run...the rockets were 6th seeded for crying out loud...this is the lowest ranked team to ever win the nba title and hakeem was handing out sonnings left and right..best basketball ive ever seen in my life

Bird does not get enough respect as a Top 5 (maybe 6) player of all-time.
