This thread's well past its prime, no point in reading any of it, but just in case no one's mentioned that the goat mj called Hakeem one of the goats as well as the best center of all time, the that's what this post is for. Probably would've taken this thread seriously had it been created at another point in time and not from the grant hill hype.

I can't sanction this tomfoolery
Cats trying to shyt on Hakeem?
Cats trying to deny the man played with role players damn near his whole career?
Cats trying to deny his back to back?
I can't hate on shaq and can't be mad at someone taking shaq over Hakeem but I can't ignore him playing with all star 2s damn near his whole career
1a 1b to me

There's A LOT of disingenuous talking points going on in here against Akeem. Quite pathetic that dudes would need to lie and stretch the truth in order to get their point across.

The Takeover
Moses ain't talked about nearly enough. Moses one the best centers EVER
Where nikkas think Hakeem learned the game? Moses was schooling and teaching Dream during Hakeem's UofH days
Moses got multiple MVP's and was a low post beast
might be the GOAT rebounder (him or Rodman)
dragged a complete sack of shyt Rockets team to the Finals in 81 and managed to steal 2 games against the Bird/McHale/Parish/Tiny Archibald Celtics,
Is the reason Dr. J didn't retire ringless and was the reason Philly finally beat LA in the Finals
Gave Kareem that WORK in the 83 Finals. And got one of the most G stories in sports history with his "fo, fo, fo" guarantee

And exactly why was he a non factor in comparison to those teams?He had CRAZY HOT YEARS... so hot a couple of rings were won and a hall of fame seat awaits, but Hakeem was a non factor in the Magic Bird Isaiah Jordan years(which spans most of his career)...facts

Im generally more impressed KAJ was able to put down 27 & 7 at the age of 38 that series
Great input
