Hakeem Olajuwon IS THE BEST CENTER EVER!!!! He has what the other great centers lacked in their individual games he had everything!!!!!!!!!! No flaw in his game!!!!! Scoring, rebounding, passing, shooting, DEFENSIVE, ball control, moves, high iq, clutch, toughness, heart, speed, mid, high, and low post game! And can guard the whole court!! NO center in history has all this!!!!! I wish Barkley took care of his body and a had good diet he would have been even greater then he was! Imagine that!
Hakeem the Dream, best center ever. Very underrated.
Top 5- Kareem, Russel, Wilt, Hakeem, Shaq
Yea I must agree I really do think Hakeem is the best ever. Best offensive arsenal & all time shot block leader. Only player in nba history to win multiple titles on a team without a star teammate
Kareem Abdul Jabbar would like to have a word with you. Hakeem is definitely a legend and top 5 however.
@@UncleClaudeSportsandThangs I respect your opinion, my friend, but I do not agree with you. Kareem of course has a more successful career, but I think Hakeem is slightly better. Hakeem never got the help Kareem got. When comparing the quality of the players, we should not forget the rosters they played. For example, if Hakeem played in rosters similar to the rosters played by Shaq, maybe we would be comparing it to mj in the goat debate now. There was an old Drexler in the best squad he played. Before that, he made his team the champion alone without an all-star partner. His 94 and 95 championships are in the top 10 among the most difficult and valuable championships in history. Both players are definitely top 5, we all agree on that.
@@sjsouljah7368 wilt or russell not 2 or 3 so delete the list already 😹
Not a soul could stop Hakeem in the post.
THIS is basketball.
Great to have you back Vintage!
This is the benefit of no zone defense. Hakeem can literally just go the post every possession with no other defender shadowing or zoning him up. If they got with the committed double team, he just kicks it out to Cassell for the three, if they dont double team, he just destroys the defender one on one
*Players from the 90s vs Zone Defense and Hand-checking ( In combination ).*
2001/02 season:
*Old Karl Malone ( age 38 )=22- 9- 4, FG-46%.*
*Allan Houston ( age 30 )= 20-3-2, FG-44%.*
*Old Stockson ( age 39 )=13- 3- 8, FG-52%.*
*Old Mutombo ( age 35 )=11- 11- 1, FG-50%.*
*Chris Webber ( age 29 )=24- 10-5, FG-49%.*
*Jason Kidd ( age 28 )=15- 7- 9, FG-39%.*
*Sam Cassell ( age 32 )=20- 4- 7, FG-46%.*
*Gary Payton ( age 33 )=22- 5- 9, FG-47%.*
Shaquille O"Neal ( Player from the 90s ) was the best player in the league.
*Glenn Robinson ( age 29 )= 21- 6- 2, FG-47%.*
*Old Michael Jordan ( age 38 )=23- 6- 5, FG-42%.*
Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O"Neal will destroy the modern league.
Wilt Chamberlain"s Records will be broken.
@@allanhouston6759 first of all these are not even good numbers for these players, secondly theres an entire segment where 90s players who also played in zone era literally confessed how zone defense affected their scoring. Garnett, Funcqn and Mcgrady said they wanted zone elininated. Mcgrady said "its tough on all of us, when youre trying to make a move and you got another guy sittin there just waitin". Garnetg recounted "I remember phoenix sat somebodt in the lane and made it hard to penetrate. Duncan said " It makes it hard for all of us Also I quote from Michael Jordan himself saying he would never have had the career he had. He also said " he never liked zones, felt like it was a lazy way to play defense and can eliminate a lot of the stars making things happen
@@Gabriel-sh3ms >>
Stop raving. What are you talking about ? ? Almost all of them were already old.
*Karl Malone ( age 38 )=22- 9- 4, FG-46%.*
Name me a player who, at 38, averaged 22-ppg.
*Old John Stockton ( age 39 )=PER-22.*
*Steve Nash ( age 27 )=PER-21.*
*Jason Kidd ( age 28 )=PER-19.*
Old Stockton was more effective than Prime Jason Kidd and Steve Nash- The two best ( PG ) 2000s.
The early 2000s were the most ineffective era in history ( Combination: Zone Defense and Hand-cheking ).
*Sam Cassell ( age 32 )=20- 4- 7, FG-46%.*
In the 90s, he was not that good.
*Allan Houston ( age 30 )=20- 3- 2, FG-46%.*
In the 90s, he was not that good.
*Chris Webber=24- 10- 3, FG-49%.*
Chris Webber was a little bette than in the 90s.
Blah, blah, blah. I can cite as an example many of the words of Nba players who said that in the 90s the Defense was bette. Words are just words. There are facts. T-Mac was better vs Zone Defense.
*T-Mac- 2x Scoring Champion ( 2003, 2004 ).*
*Shorty 5"8 Isiah Thomas can average 29-ppg vs Zone Defense.*
Prime Michael Jordan won"t be able to dominate against Zone Defense ? ? ( LOL ).
Please stop.
Remember watching this game on a Saturday afternoon like it was yesterday. Dream and Sam went off.
I just dont like people disrespecting sir charles just bc he didnt won a ring dude 😡
Ultimate center vs ultimate power forward at their best
Those were the days
On 1:37 "How about Earl Cureton 36 years old". that would be number 35 on the TV screen. Great to see all of the championship Rockets team.
i love this game
A historic matchup I wanna see is Bill Russell vs Hakeem Olajuwon.
Not a bad match up. However a Kareem vs Hakeem wouldve been epic.
@@brandonethereal1084
1986
@@brandonethereal1084 that already happened.
@@TheIcemanthomas that didn't count kareem was 39 and past his prime
Honestly, I feel like Hakeem Would Clap Bill, He was Matching Russell defensively and Bill can’t Score Hakeem also torches him on footwork obviously. Also Taller than Russell.
If Chuck had help in his stint wit the sun's 🤔
They will win
KJ had the higher scoring average in the series, Barkley did have help the Rockets were just a very tough team to beat.
Kevin Johnson was literally an all-NBA level PG on a HOF trajectory BEFORE Barkley came to Phoenix. No help??
In my opinion this was the best team Houston Rockets had. .Maxwell, Horry,Sam Cassel
Yeah, and this Suns team was really good. Whoever won this series was winning the West regardless I don't think the Sonics would've beaten either team if they had gotten that far. They had an easier path to get out the West 2 years later with the Suns no longer being contenders and the Rockets not having the depth at forward they had here.
@@ChrisM07 Had the Nuggets Beat the Jazz in G7, I believe they would've given the Rockets a run for their money in 6 or 7 Games, and ultimately Lose. These Rockets Absolutely Annihilated the Jazz though.
That Rockets team would've SMASHED MJ's Bulls.
MJ returned only to get KO'D by Orlando in the playoffs.....Orlando went on to get SWEPT by Houston in the FINALS.
🤷🏻
Its bc mj just returned his basketball skills is not much showing up bruh
@@zhawn4894 Stats say otherwise, He put up numbers better than his 96 and other years where he won the championship. That is a Silly narrative, Shaq and Penny Beat a healthy bulls Clean. Whom Hakeem swept in a close four games. Rockets would have killed the Bulls that year.
Who is gonna be Guarding Hakeem at C? They had no way to stop Hakeem Olajuwon. Micheal Jordan has even said it himself he was Glad they didn’t face Hakeem in the Finals.
Overall career, Hakeem Record Vs MJ, 13 - 10 More won during Olajuwon’s prime
@@NickIntoTech bro if u guys gonna say that rockets will smashed the bulls why they got swept by the 1996 sonics?
@@zhawn4894 Well 1996 is a different animal. The Bulls would smash the rockets that year. but Theres few reasons for that, 1 After the 1995 Season Olajuwon Had dealt with many injuries that Began his decline. (For proof There was a Shaq Vs Hakeem PPV by Taco Bell after 95 season that would have happened but Hakeem got injured when it happened so it was canceled.) so Olajuwon began to not play as he did after this season.
2nd, After the Clyde Drexler Trade, a Weak point in the Rockets was that they lacked a good PF. Who they Had a decent one in 1994 in Robert horry. This allowed Shawn Kemp, Sonics Forward and NBA Great to Attack a weak spot on the rockets.
And If you watch the Rockets Vs Sonics Series, Alot of the Sonics Game plan was to neutralize Hakeem Often putting 3+ Defenders on him. Along with Detlef shrempf.
And they had the glove, Gary Payton They had a great post up and Decent shooter. And nba great. Vs Drexler and a half declining Hakeem.
(Also, Much like the Magic Vs Rockets Series, It might been a sweep but it was actually close series between The sonics and Rockets, Besides game 7, the games Deficits were less than 7 points. in one of the games Going into a OT)
In 97 the Rockets Ended up Getting there Revenge on Seattle, Since they Got a decent PF again in a Out of Prime Charles Barkley
I miss my team. #Rockets

Poor Joe big for nothin Klein, didn't have a prayer guarding The Dream
Agreed. But no one could guard dream.
AC Green was actually the primary defender in the 4th quarter most of the series, he was a extremely good post defender but yeah it didn't make much difference in the long run. Even the Knicks frontline were searching for answers which says a lot.
The last 10 sec of the game people would've been getting ejected if that was in todays soft NBA
Barkley is injured soo
Suns were finished when this game started. Suns were over in this game.
Suns will win that year if they the team same players like in 93 and also they can win in 95 if they had the same players
Not a chance in hell Barkley was gonna get this win from olajuwon.
Barkley obv injured limping
where is the defense? lmao
Where is the bad Defense ? ?
In the 90s, the Defense was better.
That's an ironic remark because that year the NBA Finals was so full of defense even in real time people were complaining the defense was too heavy. Look it up. 1994 Rockets vs Knicks: Neither team scored over 100 points for 7 games.
That was a cheap foul by Barkley on Olajuwon.
LeBron is easily better than both of these bums.
LeBron > MJ. It’s not even close
You are more pathetic than anyone else and It’s not even close.
@@nba2kclassicmatchups906 😂😂😂👍
NEVER.
One is a SIX TIME WINNER
The other is a SIX TIME LOSER. AND...he JUMPS from team to team to get CARRIED.
You're right... Its NOT EVEN...Close.
LeFlop ? ? What a joke.
6"2 Jason Terry ( age 33 ) outscored Prime LeFlop James in the 2011 Nba Finals.
LeBron > Kyrie
