It's pretty neat that Hakeem has beat all HOF's Alex English, Magic Johnson, Kareem, James Worthy, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Barkley, Drexler, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Shaq, and Kevin Garnett in the playoffs.
Absolutely. He could run. He could pnr. He could shoot. He could shake defenses for clean shots. So long as everyone else could shoot threes on the team, he would be a great fit. Most importantly, he could defend amazingly well, meaning our net rating would only further increase relative to today’s team. Hell, I think our 95 championship team could play in the current league.
I never understood why it was so common for everyone to downsize Hakeem. Bc webber said he was his size? Maybe other 7ftersIf were over listed. If dwert is 6'10 in shoes, 6'9 barefoot measurement this offseason. Then Hakeem is easily 6'11.25 to half in shoes at his older age now. With those 90s shoes, easily hits the 7ft mark or just shy of it IMO.
I think it’s cus he said in his autobiography that he was 6’10ish? I think I remember reading that but it’s been 20 years since I’ve read it..
You kidding me? A 6'10'' big who can shoot, run the floor, and protect the paint? Is the earth round? Wait - don't ask Kyrie
