Prime Hakeem>Prime Duncan

"Shouldnt have never givin that award out before the series started"

David was a great player, but he was soft. But to be fair, he didn't have a whole lot of offensive Help around him in his prime.

So in the playoffs the defenses collapsed on him. No excuse for getting sonned tho

yet according to nikkas, hakeem would've been contained by the likes of bill wennington, bill cartwright, stacey king, and luc longley.

Those 2 years Hakeem had were just legendary. If u think about it he played against some of the best centers including shaq, Robinson, Ewing, and dominated. And all this happened near the tail end of his prime years. I'll never forget seeing dude absolutely ether Robinson like he was at the Rucker. Plus during those 2 years it was like dude had no weakness. He could take u off the dribble, destroy u in the post, or hit the J. Plus he could defend and rebound; and an underrated passer out of the double team. Imagine if Bynum or Howard had half that skill set lol. Plus dude was undersized which makes it even more incredible.
