Who was more skilled, Olajuwon or Robinson, and was Olajuwon the most skilled big ever?

Hakeem. regardless of position, he is one of the most skilled players ever

 

[PHamm]

Hakeem and it wasn’t close

What he did to Robinson in the 95 playoffs should have been a felony

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

The disrespect of KareemOlajuwon most skilled?

 

[MikelArteta]

d rob gets alot of disrespect

dude averagd almost 30 points 10 boards, 5 assists 3 blocks 2 steals a game back in 93/94 one of the most incredible seasons ever

 

[Street Knowledge]

Hakeem had a skill set that was more effective for playoff basketball.

Plus Robinson didn’t have that dog in him

 

[ghostwriterx]

I feel like Robinson was more "skilled", but Dream's peak was higher. Robinson could do more, but he didn't do anything as well as Dream's post game.

 

[Jalether]

You are not going to disrespect the most skilled big man ever like that

Skill wise, compare Robinson to bigs like ewing,moses malone et al

 

[Noah]

Hakeem was more skilled in the sense that he was better with his back to the basket than Robinson was (see Karl Malone's defense on Robinson when they met in the '94 playoffs). Nothing against Robinson; Hakeem was just a cut above. Robinson was probably as good if not a bit better off of pick-and-rolls and facing up and working his way toward the basket or shooting jumpers, but Hakeem's mixture of strength (excellent at getting position), variety, and footwork in the post is superior to Robinson's.

Hakeem

 

[invincible1914]

what do you mean by more refined

I mean like Olajuwon was a more natural basketball player with his low post skills and even his ball handling. Robinson depended on his athleticism a lot.

Made that Navy ass nikka look like a damn fool.

Hakeem was more skilled. Robinson was more athletic and agile.

This is the answer

Dream, if memory serves correctly, was top ten in the league in steals and blocks. He was a better defender than the admiral, his J was wetter, and had pretty much the toughest championship run in league history playing with basura

I have to disagree with the bolded. There was 4 rockets besides Hakeem in double digits in 95 finals

horry, elle and Drexler handles business that series
