Whatever you wanna call what he did against Shaq was nothing compared to how he made Ewing look in the Finals, or D-Rob in the '95 WCF

He's not underrated but definitely under appreciated. I say that because usually any time someone talks about his championship runs some dumbass pops up with that "He only won cause Jordan was gone" bullshyt.

that's my Muslim brother GOAT center I've ever seen 
Shaq got sonned too, he was better then Drob and Ewing(obviously). Game one was close but Hakeem slightly outplayed him and took over down the strecth, game 2 shaq got dominated While The rockets were up 20 at halftime then he got to pad his stats in garbage time against Charles jones which made the game look more close then it actually was. Games 3 and 4 went to Hakeem decisively.
Game 2 was a classic case how stats can be misleading
game 2's half time
HO 9/17 FG, 22 pts, 8 rbs
Shaq 3/10, 10 pts, 6 rbs
Rockets up 20
Final boxscore rockets win by 11
Shaq 33 / 12 / 7 (12-22 FG)
Hakeem 34 / 11 / 2 (14-30)
"
Shaq actually played Hakeem well in that game"

It's crazy to me that people will try and make the argument that "Shaq held his own" against Hakeem when even Shaq himself has consistently said over the years that Hakeem shytted on him.

He did hold his own though, Shaq is giving him respect for being the only center to get the W over him. Shaq also said Hakeem only won because he was "too nice" at the time and not mean enough.
Their matchup -
28.0 ppg, 12.5 rebs, 6.3 asts 59.5% FG
32.8 ppg, 11.5 rebs, 5.5 asts 48% FG
Where is the "shytting" on, and I watched the series, you can re-watch the entire series on Youtube too. The difference is Hakeem was more aggressive, and his teammates didn't fold under pressure. What he did to Robinson was shytting on someone, what he did to Shaq was far from it.
