Would Hakeem Olajuwon be the best player in the league today?

Nah that's nostalgia. The talent spread was very even during the 90s and both conferences were very well balanced while it was heavily tilted to the West during the 10s until this year. The Western Conference Curry had to go through was a damn bloodbath bro
Curry didnt "go through them," he had like 12 other all stars you fukkin retard. Goddamn you gsw stans will do whatever it takes to deify those fakkits. You act like curry was carrying the team on his back like iverson or some shyt. His weak ass had the best team and still managed to have it go to the wire multiple times.

It was only one other all star in 2015 on the Warriors when Curry won his first ship :sas2:

The conferences were balanced in the 90’s, but the West was no cakewalk

There were several championship caliber teams throughout the 90’s decade in the West that would’ve won chips if it weren’t for the dynasty lead by the greatest player of all time. And other teams that were very talented


The Portland Trailblazers
Seattle SuperSonics
Utah Jazz
The Phoenix Suns
San Antonio Spurs


The West in the 90’s wasn’t as deep as the West in the 2010’s. But the upper tier 90’s Western Conference teams had powerhouse teams

It’s funny cuz Hakeem came out of the West more times than Curry and the Warriors did before acquiring KD. And he has a better win percentage against those Eastern teams he faced in the Finals

But I suppose that wouldn’t be fair cuz he played more years than Curry didnat that point

He’d be the best player in the world by a good margin.

You replace Clint Capela with him on the current Rockets and they beat GSW in 6 games.

Barring any Harden or CP3 fukk ups/injury


They’d arguably sweep golden state
