People are very quick to forget he had a lethal mid range jumper, the game back then was all paint for centers though. Dream hit a couple 3’s when he was fkn around in garbage time too so I know the ability was there as well, he would’ve been an ultimate stretch 4 in todays game.

Yea he had a good shot too. I think his mid range jumper was pretty good. He was a all around good center. With 2 championships on his belt it shows.
If Barkleys fat ass would’ve played off ball and Pippens back held up we probably would’ve gotten a 3rd. Should’ve never tweaked that 2nd chip roster though. It was fine where it was we didn’t need Charles and broke the band up just for him

They were just right when they won the first 2 chips, I guess they added too many cooks to the kitchen.
Hakeem looks like he could still embarrass someone.
He was hittin Dream Shakes on Vucevic a few years back
Exactly what happened. We were robbed of a Jordan Hakeem finals

Jordan def would’ve seen his first game 7 I think. It also depends heavily on who would’ve had home court. The 94/95 teams had figured out the jazz at that point so I def think we would’ve made it to the dance, Phil Jackson has gone on record saying they didn’t have an answer for Hakeem so it’s one of those things we won’t ever get to see.

It would be too hard to tell, the Bulls we're a stronger team than the Knicks who we're at the finals that previous year. The Magic were too young and inexperienced but got far which was impressive.
Penny kept getting hurt later in that window and didn’t have Championship bench depth which is why they kept getting swept or bounced early. Good team but beyond their first 6 (and Nick Anderson always folding like a lawn chair in big moment
) they were a couple role players away from actually winning it all.
I think Sengun has improved quite a bit from 19 to 20 years old.
I don't know if he will ever develop to be a perimeter threat like Lauri Markkanen is, but who knows?
This kid has potential. More than James Wiseman, anyway.

He's just not as fast but that's it really. Obviously this tutelage helped Sengun.hakeem still fluid at that age

I think he will become an allstar eventually.
