Has Tim Duncan surpassed Hakeem Olaujwoun?
- Thread starter emoney
- Start date
he can't do anything its not about surpassing its just talent wise dream is better overall
the Rockets fell apart after Ralph Sampson got injured and then traded him. They missed the playoffs one time.
It had nothing to do with Mike and Magic and everything to do with the Rockets franchise being a mess, and Hakeem not being focused himself.
I hate when people drop the simple "oh, Mike and Magic were in their way" when the only time Hakeem faced Magic in the playoffs, the Rockets beat them, and they only made the finals 3 times.
as for Duncan in that era, I dont see why not? Dude woulda been either the first or 2nd best big man in the late 80s/early 90s.
Not even david Robinson won titles during that time period but we suppose to believe duncan would have with his spurs team
So duncan would have been better than hakeem,admiral,shaq, and ewing
rockets management as well.

I hate when people drop the simple "oh, Mike and Magic were in their way" when the only times Hakeem faced Magic in the playoffs, the Rockets beat them in '86 and got swept in '91 (when the Lakers were past their prime), and the Rockets only made the finals 3 times, and the WCF only 4 times in Hakeem's career.

and I don't know what jordan had to do with hakeem, being that they weren't even in the same conference.

Duncan>Robinson, Shaq, Ewing
I dont know who to take when it comes to Hakeem, tbh. I think they are close, and its a pickem.
15 years now, and people dont realize how great of a player Duncan is. You are watching an absolute legend, appreciate him now before he retires.
But the west then had better post players then the west of today. Two many wannabe stretch fours who you can back off and let them miss shots all day. Plus those rockets didnt have the coaching or talent duncan has had in his career. Only if you count washed up versions of clyde,chuck,pippen etc.
Yeah, he has, and Robert Horry is better than both of them.

As crazy as this sounds zo before the kidney problems might be just as good if not better than duncan. Injuries to hardaway,mashburn,jones and others killed those teams.and the big men in the east had to deal with thug niccas like oakley,mason and others
