@KingBreeze07 100% agree with you. It's a laugh when folks try to put Kobe and or LeBron ahead of Hakeem. Neither of those guys are in my top ten, but these guys are (in no particular order): Jordan Hakeem Bird Magic Wilt Kareem Duncan Karl Malone
Robert was no joke he came to River Vue Park in Dayton Ohio in the 80s hopped out of a money green Lincoln Continental limo and ran to the court and dunks it then he hopped back in it and pulled out
@@danielkarcis1174 It’s was a good team for sure. Not taking away anything from the Chief. He was quietly one of the best centers of that era. But Olajuwon was in a tier of his own.
geez .. its laughable that todays players are better.. this rockets team would chew most teams up... even an aged parish was still a problem... i miss this era so much...
lol wtf are you talking about. todays players top to bottom are so much more skilled and much bigger. it's not just about one player. the celtics would walk all over this rockets team. tatum is 6'8 sir. who tf is guarding him? kenny smith??? haha. do you understand Brown would have 40 against vernon maxwell. minimum. otis is an outright liability. tatum and brown would slash and move the ball to white who would make probably double digit 3's. they'd compactly jam the paint and force hakeem to take touch jumpers. and jrue locks up kenny to get any free shots off. the only chance they have is the dream who would be the best player on the court to go for 50. luckly Porz is a legit 7'3. yes he'd give him buckets but they wouldn't be easy ones and he'd be active ALL game. the rockets simply would not be able to keep up with an entirely different play style. their roster is constructed around hakeem but the pace of play specifically the threat from 3 is dramatically different. it wouldn't even be close.
@@CYMotorsport i said most teams, a stacked team like celtics might be a closer game, but theres a lot of teams from that era that i would take anyday over 2024 celtics, they are only successful in this era cause they loaded team up, and the style of play and lack of defense,,,
[03:46]: Just shows how Hakeem never gets the calls and then @ [03:55] Parish gets the call. For a better view on the non-foul call by Parish against Hakeem go to [04:12].
Somebody might say it was after he completed the dunk, but still questionable. Had it been another player, especially like Robinson, they would have given him the call.
@@MDBBallYeah. Those phantom fouls to get Hakeem fouled out. In 1986 he got all NBA first team where Hakeem or Moses Malone should have gotten first team. Kareem shouldn’t have even gotten second team. He also started for the West All Star game and was in every All Star game even when he didn’t deserve to be.
@@hakeemolajuwon4352 rockettes were getting tooled on in 3 straight gms at garden. Akeem shot 48 pct vs 32 year old chief and the year before old kareem shot 60 pct vs celtics in finals
For being 7'2'', Chief had excellent mobility, as good as any modern day center. Even at age 38 still giving The Dream problems
Anyone who does not have Hakeem Olajuwon as a top 10 Player you know absolutely nothing about basketball.
Eh, it’s debatable. He’s definitely top 15. 10? There’s a handful of great players who had longer peaks and more titles.

Same here. Kobe and LeBron are not top ten. I can preach this all day.

Parish is too old in this game but he gave Hakeem a hard time to stop him.
Hakeem most skilled big ever..others get ranked higher because of their team success..1v1 he beats anyone..to many moves..
thx for the post!

Robert parish 4X NBA champion
He had Larry Bird.
@@SteveSteeleSoundSymphonylarry had him to

🗣️NAW , MAN . HAKEEM OLAJUWON IS .>🎤 🏀🗑️
Still the all time leader in blocks. Not bad for a guy under 7’.
Blocks were not kept as a stat when Russell and Wilt played. One of those guys are probably the unofficial leader.
@@Blacklist324hakeem #1
Robert Parrish is a legit 7'1
No way Hakeem Olajuwon is 7'0
There is a difference by 2 or 3 inches
You know, it would use to really confuse me when the NBA on TNT intros did not include Clyde Drexler before 1992.
They were probably using Magic Johnson and possibly replaced Magic with Clyde when Magic retired in 1991
Me too! I always get upset when I would see Kevin Johnson instead of Drexler. I was surprised to see them use Drexler on this intro.
5:50 OMG 😳
(And that made Chief mad 6:50 😅)
thanks
👍
The stats were very close, but I would have to give the slight edge to Hakeem for this matchup.
You can tell Olajuwon was not even close to 7'0 feet tall, he was 6'10.
Well that isnt too far off of 7'0
He was taller than Giannis in the picture and he's 6"11
bt his wingspan is like 7'7'

Happens alot to non-american players. Same in the NHL.
Hakeem was excellent. Eventually, he won 2 chips, without Charles,back to back rings.
They was goin at it😂💪🏽
I wonder how many games were thrown out because DR34M was killing the Chief......searched until a respectable game was found. Great vid anyway.
👍
A 38 year old parish that hakeem was struggling with lmao
@@danielkarcis1174
Hakeem: 24 pts 10 rebs 3 blocks “struggling”
Chief was 9 years older than akeem
Yeah and 6 years before that Olajuwon was dunking all over Parrish as a 23y old NBA sophomore lol

Love the Chief! Rick Fox is a traitor. Bad enough he played for the Lakers, but then was involved in that “Showtime” series.
