Hakeem or Kobe?

[Draje]

SHAQ WOULD PUT KAREEM IN A CASKET.
TOO SKINNY...
WOULD BE IN FOUL TROUBLE IMMEDIATELY.



​

Kareem would probably be hell for Shaq to match up with. He's like a taller, longer, harder to guard Timmy D.

I think they'd both be in foul trouble from guarding each other

TIMMY AND KAREEM WERE NOTHING ALIKE.

THE HOOK SHOT WAS GODLY
BUT HE WOULD BE TAKING IT FROM 15 FEET AWAY FROM THE BASKET
BECAUSE HE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO MOVE SHAQ AT ALL.

SHAQ WOULDNT HAVE TO FOUL HIM
HE WOULD JUST FORCE HIM
TO MAKE THAT SHOT FROM OUT THERE
OVER HIS REACH ALL GAME.

SHAQ WOULD COME DOWN THE COURT
BACK KAREEM UNDER THE RIM
AND DUNK ON HIM EVERY TIME.

KAREEM WOULD WEAR OUT EARLY.

Hakeem easy. No disrespect to Kobe but it's not even close to me. At his peak he was an even more dominant scorer than Kobe with one of the most diverse scoring arsenal's ever & he arguably the GOAT defender too.

If only he wasn't surrounded by scrubs for most of his career.

 

[Versa]

The answer is Hakeem.

 

[010101]

gawds determine the direction of the game so mamba is the answer*

 

[The Fire]

Kobe

So what was Wilt?

 

[CHICAGO]

So what was Wilt?

NOT SHAQ...

HE WAS ALSO 33 WHEN KAREEM ENTERED THE LEAGUE.

I DONT shyt ON THE LEGENDS
WILT WAS GREAT
BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE SHAQ IN WILTS ERA?



​

 

[Sccit]

KOBE IS 1-5 RANGE

HAKEEM IS 5-10 RANGE

EASY QUESTION

A BETTER POLL WOULDA BEEN HAKEEM VS WILT OR HAKEEM VS SHAQ

Wilt was also alot stronger at 33 then he was at 23 when he was a bean pole

This was the wilt that was guarding young kareem

https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.ryvFxfHrUjoqXSWK3r_kQwHaI5&pid=15.1&H=192&W=160&P=0 at this point he was 7'1 275

This was bean pole wilt throughtout the 60s

This is 60 plus year old wilt with a young shaq and wilt looks more bigger (pause) then shaq was

The point is wilt had trouble with a young cap who was a powerful player that had a foray of moves besides the skyhook and wilt couldn't guard him. Young kareem would give shaq the blues

 

[feelosofer]

Hakeem and its not even close. If Ralph Samson could have stayed healthy Keem would have had 3 or 4 rings. Also Keem is the most athletic big I have ever seen play and he would have developed a 3 point game if he played today and was an elite defender on top of that.

[GetSomeMoney]

Hakeem easy, not really close, both are top 15 though

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

Dudes in here think Kobe is top 5?
....

 

[Dwight Howard]

Hakeem was NOT a more dominant scorer
