90% of the Coli haven’t seen him play. They don’t know.

I’ve seen Akeem since Houston with Drexler, Michaeux, and Michael Young. Akeem wasn’t appreciated until he added the “H” to his name and when Jordan retired the first time (he won 2 chips), because he was temperamental and physically wielded out on players
. His appreciation also picked up in some circles as a means to undermine Shaq’s Lakers 3 FMVP dominance, years after Dream retired (because he swept a neophyte Shaq in ‘95). I find it funny how Dream gets swept under the rug, but I’m not surprised because when he played, I felt that he never got the love or coverage that he deserved. He got it, but not at the level he should’ve. He kind of had that Kareem vibe, where he’s not a high public profile person which lead to the lack of coverage, also he’s a Muslim, which I think is the main reason.
If you take out the accolades from all of these players, Akeem should be top 10. But since we live in the era of, “how many rings and how many FMVPs he got?”, then he won’t be in most people’s top 10. Which is NOT disrespectful because there’s so many great players and to whittle it down to an agreeable 10, is impossible.
