Hakeem was dominating Shaq, Robinson, Mutumbo, Mourning, Ewing etc
He would average 38 and 20 in this era of no big men and no defense

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

Lol I sense a little vitriol and disdain in his criticism of Curry but there is truth in his post.You wouldn't say 90% of the shyt you're saying about Curry if he was dark skinned. Let's just be real
Steph is not as singularly dominant as Olajuwon. He’s just not in that realm
I’ll show the defending champs respect, they have far too much talent for me to say any team in history would sweep them.
But if Harden, CP3, Gordon, Green, PJ Tucker show at least a fraction of that fire they did in the WCF last year, I could see it ending 5 or 6
They damn sure would NOT need to jack up 27 straight brick 3’s with Hakeem working in the low post. Imagine Boogie Cousins or Bogut tryna guard Hakeemor double teams coming for him with all those shooters on the wing
It's a sweep. Play that hampton 5 lineup if you want, draymon would either foul out or get ejected.
Play boogie if you want, he's going to foul out and when dream is dusting his azz he's going to try and get back at him and it's going to cost the team.
houston would play inside out unless harden plays like a retard and tries to play his way.

You will be trolled
:adskfjkldsj:I fukk with his father Dell, and I fukked with Steph too, until they started to comparing him to people he got no business being compared to. That's my problem with him. His skin tone doesn't mean shyt. I say the same shyt about Harden, who is even my favorite player right now.You wouldn't say 90% of the shyt you're saying about Curry if he was dark skinned. Let's just be real
im convinced most of these coli posters now are teenagers or early 20 somethings trying to speak on shyt they dont know
Y'all just overrating Hakeem because he played in the 90's. In another 10 years once recency/nostalgia biases pass, ain't nobody taking Hakeem over Curry.
Nah we’re rating them respectively right where they should be in the context of NBA history.Y'all just overrating Hakeem because he played in the 90's. In another 10 years once recency/nostalgia biases pass, ain't nobody taking Hakeem over Curry.
Hakeem dominated in the 80’s and 90’s. You guys are concerned about popularity contests and preferences instead of who actually is a better player
Nobody with decent basketball knowledge would take Steph over Dream when Steph isn’t even the best player on his team. And the nikka on his team that’s better than him isn’t better than Dream (yet) either.
Cut it out.

no lol. because of rule changes and play style, big men who aren't perimeter scorers can't be the best players in the league. he would need a point guard to help set him up. he'd be in the 3-5 range though
and which hakeem are we talking about? the title years or the middle years(most of his career) when he was getting knocked out of the playoffs? A lot of people forget dude was immature as hell and a head case

You're definitely overrating Hakeem, it is what it is tho. You'll prolly need 5 years for Curry to be retired before you really give him his just due.
Bro there's nothing to argue, you don't even remember/know Hakeem was considered undersized. You don't know what you're talking about
What Hakeem was doing to Ewing and Shaq in the Finals should be illegal in 3 continents
But all of a sudden he wouldn't be a top player vs bigs now

Who said he wouldn't be a top player vs. bigs now?
All I said is I doubt Hakeem would be considered top 5 right now. He got KD, Steph, Bron, Harden, Giannis, Embiid, etc to compete with, and I know good and well if you removed nostalgia and dropped him in today's game nobody's taking him over Steph, KD, Giannis and Bron.

And shaq was 7’2 320 but Hakeem had no problems with him
Now you'd take Giannis over Hakeem
You make it very difficult debating when you say dumb shyt like this
