Hakeem was so great, he was picked ahead of Jordan and nobody ever cared
Matt R i swear 😂😂😂
I mean if we redrafted
@@lahkooky504westside3 that's not the point
Barkley was also picked ahead of Jordan lol
@@DonkeyKong5479 no he was not.
Hakeem is the most skilled center of All Time hella underrated
the dream 💯
What about wilt
Chris Paul point god No Way Wilt played against Against 1-2 pretty good centers. Hakeem played against players like Ewing, Robinson, Mourning Shaq, and remained the best player. He would make them look stupid. All Time wise I think Hakeem is better and skill wise he has better post moves than any Center in History.
HEZO MIXES he also plays brad daughterty, Rick smith who were also good center
No holes in his game shit is crazy, his game wud translate in any era cuz he can run the floor like a deer
49 points and 25 rebounds bruhh
Those numbers are godly
He wasn't even in his prime yet
That's some MyCareer shit
Wilt type shit
Mike Stefan average height was the same back then get your knowledge up bruh
In my opinion Hakeem is the G.O.A.T. at center position...
And he hadn't even reached his technical prime. At this point he has played basketball for 9 years.
Think about it. Today they introduce you to a sport you've never played and 9 years from now you are DOMINATING at the highest level with stats that are comparable to the Goats of that sport. How insane is that. Hakeem will always be in my top 5 all-time, no matter who comes in the future, I'll always find a spot for him.
Hakeem outplayed all other big names at his position ON THE BIG STAGE.
This is Young hakeem. the 1995 hakeem against shaq was more of a beast
💪💪💪
This Hakeem was beast too
And he was at the end of his prime on top of that...'94'95 Champs, dont matter Jordan in the league or not
This Hakeem had 49 and 25
If hakeem was in the NBA right now
He'll make the top centers in the league look like high school players
Everytime I think about a all time best starting 5. Olajuwon is my center. A complete offensive and defensive weapon at 7'.
Agreed
6'10
@@catcountry0099 no one cares about barefoot heights
@@Someone-hi1nt There's a whole website dedicated to barefoot heights. So uh, yeah I disagree.
@@catcountry0099 thats not how heights are measured in the nba, theyre measured with shoes, do players play barefoot in official games?
The best center in the NBA history!
WILT GOD
OLAJUWON GOAT
You give this guy a HOF teammate for 10 years and he wins at least 3-4 titles
Hitting a turn around fade away is probably the toughest half court shot to make in basketball. Hakeem literally got his nickname because he was so good at it.
Greatest all around player ever. Numbers don't lie. GOAT 🐐🐐
It was hard to watch his whole career carrying all day dead weight drug addicts and doughboys
Hakeen literally outplayed every single all time great center he has faced in a playoff series and also in different stages of his career... Kareen, Ewing, Robinson, Shaq... you name it. MOST COMPLETE BIG EVER BY FAR. I don't know if he's the best coz like being the most complete and the best are 2 different things for example Shaq wasn't a more complete player than Robinson (worse passer and defender with less stamina) but overall his production and dominance made him a better player overall so I really don't know. All I know is that the center spot is by far the hardest to rank you gotta a clear top 5 (Russel, Wilt, Kareem, Hakeen and Shaq) where each could have a solid argument for being the best
And he owned Jordan. But never in goat convo. :/
" overal careers its kareem " BULLSHIT..Alcinder played great LONGER-THAT'S ALL..Dream was hands down no question the superior defensive player-BY FAR and in the post season, Alcinder didn't have jack shit on Dream offensively-both equally as great..Put Dream with Magic and Oscar Robertson as teammates-Olajuwon would have 6 titles like Kareem, maybe more..What idiots like you fail to realize is though Kareem was a damn good defensive player-he wasn't REMOTELY THE DEFENSIVE BEAST Olajuwon was-NO ONE IN HISTORY DOMINATED on both sides of the floor like Olajuwon-that is 100% fact.
Bullshit again. A very.sports Knowledgable friend of mine, who was no fan of Dream's and actually was a die hard Laker fan where most of Alcinder's fame came from put this statement to me-"Olajuwon with Magic, HE'D BE MVP EVERY YEAR"..Team sport man-when Magic was asked who he'd build a franchise around-Hakeem..Bill Russell, Shaq, Jordan -all 3 put Olajuwon above Alcinder..Shaq and Michael put Dream as #1 center, Russell(if he couldn't pick himself!) put Wilt at # 1, other times Olajuwon #1(couldn't make up his mind I guess).. It ain't that simple-only in your mind it's simple. Alcinder actually had 2 losing record teams IN HIS PRIME-Olajuwon did not have 1 single losing record until his knees were shot to hell-well past his prime..Dream played about 80% of his prime years w/out 1 damn all star teammate...All those awards don't mean jack shit when you're about to lose game 6 with John Starks draining shots and about to put you out of the finals with a shot from the corner, Olajuwon?-A freakin CENTER-GOING OUT to block a GUARD and win the game.. Alcinder doesn't get off his lazy ass and make that block to save his life..Lew blocked shots with his 7 ' 2 frame and 5 foot long arms-IN THE KEY.. Dream blocked EVERYONE with his 6' 11 frame and 10x the effort. Give me a break.
Fuck you...If it was a solo sport what you're posting may make sense.. But apparently a few experts like Shaq and Jordan And Russell say you're full of shit...I don't look at trophies or awards when comparing players..I ACTUALLY WATCH THE PLAYERS PLAY...Dream was twice the athlete Alcinder was and put 10x the effort. W/OUT Magic AND OSCAR ROBERTSON-Alcinder's fame would drop drastically.. Hell Dream in '94 had to be the MVP OF THE regular season, MVP OF THE FINALS-and THE BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER IN THE NBA To carry that team to the finals.. Not 1 single all star teammate..Alcinder was great, but LAZY compared to Dream. 100% fact.
Kareem was a little old in 1986, but ok.
He was magnificent and magical with the basketball. He can make any player, stupid to defend him. He was double-teamed and still got 49 points. Long live Olajuwon.
hakeem top 10 of all time
Top 3
Armando De Los Santos don’t push bro
@@yvans. Olajuwon learned basketball at age 16 in Africa, by age 22 he had already led UofH to the championship game twice, was the college player of the year, was the #1 draft pick over Jordan, and had already dominated Kareem, Magic, worthy and the defending champ showtime Lakers in 4 straight games in the 86' WCF before taking the Celtics that swept Jordan, to game 6 of the finals!! He's the only player to win a ring with no all stars or hall of fame coach, the only player to win MVP, finals MVP, and dpoy in the same season, the only player to record 2 quadruple doubles, the only player to record 200+ blocks(282) and 200+ steals(213) in the same season, the only player to retire in the top 10 in 5 categories points, rebounds, fg%, blocks and steals, and he lead the only #6 seed to a championship and the only team that beat four 57+ win teams for that ring! He's actually the goat but I wasn't trying to have this conversation with you young punks
Armando De Los Santos ok... when I say that Hakeem was not good ? I don’t even wants to have a conversation with you bro you to emotional 😭. Hakeem is also my favorite all time center but I can’t say that is top 3 be serious.
@@yvans. so why did you respond dumbass?! You said some female ass shit with no reasoning, and I gave you my reasons! Did I hurt your feelings?Let me guess, Lebron is the goat right? Go drink your similac little baby. Don't say shit else
Hakeem shaded on the MVP 🏆
49-25-6 his answer
Lowkey underrated. Literally can do it all on da court.
Disagree he's not underrated
he is underrated, people rate him as #3 big of all time pretty often... hes way better than Shaq, Kareem its close, Wilt played vs bums ... nobody else in the conversation@@EJayyDreadHead
And he stays on the floor to congratulate the other team! There will never be anyone like Hakeem!
Good sportsmanship from the dream.
Most insane stat line in modern playoff history
With the exception of passing, which Hakeem was average, the Dream was the total package. He did it all with grace athleticism and power.
He excelled at passing from 1992 on through his title years
He’s averaged over 5 assists per game in post season series.
hakeem is the only center i think, that could go h2h with any big man in any era
freduardo fredrico uh wilt and Kareem Fuck are you talking about lol
@@McStrokeAvision He played against Kareem and is one of few to ever to block his skyhook. He even dominated in 86, and yea, Kareem was 38, but he was still 1st team all-NBA and Hakeem was 23, nowhere near his prime either.
As for Wilt, well, Bill Russell is a good comparison for defense, and we all know how their playoff matches usually went.

@@TheMissiIe no way u putting duncan over those guys
@@FuShengAlex In his starting lineup, not top 5 all time. If that wasn't the case then it would mean MJ called Pippen top 5 all time since he mentioned him in his starting list when he knew for sure Pip's not top 5.
@@feelcollins4358 he said he'd start a franchise from scratch with Olajuwon over anyone else in NBA history That's good enough to me
Felt bad for Hakeem after this game ended. His team still lost despite putting up monster numbers.
And yet he was still out there congratulating them and even seen smiling.
He averaged like 37 and 16 with 3 blks for that series I think.
The Centers of today's era could only dream of playing like ""The Dream"" My GOAT
for sure 3 seconds rules, prevent them from defending in the paint like before, and prevent them from developing more their post up. Not talking about the refs calling more offensive fouls on flop (Marcus Smart, Butler, Lowry we see you) and calling more fouls on big men than ever. I would like they let the big men play nowadays but the NBA don't want it so I can't blame them
No disrespect to Jordan but I honestly think if he hadn't retire - Houston would've beat them.
So does Jordan, Vernon Maxwell was like a mini-Payton, and Hakeem scared the shit of them in the post. Oh yea, they would also have Luc Longley defending him, lmaoooo. There's a reason the Rockets were one of the only teams to beat them during the RS, and Hakeem only got better in the playoffs.
It wasn't that Hakeem or the Rockets were better, he was just a matchup nightmare for them, completely obliterating Pippen's offense and just dumping buckets out of the post.
In sports we believe in Momentum, luck, and confidence, That being said the stars had to align For the rockets to get that 1st one sure enough they were good enough but all the greats say luck also lends a hand. #1 Denver Nuggets number 8 seed beating the supersonics in 5 If we were a match up nightmare for the bulls the sonics were a matchup problems for the rockets. #2 The Knicks beat a Jordanless bulls And this is an inspired Bulls team playing with a chip on their shoulder trying to prove that they can win without him they had motivation The dynamic changes if Jordan doesn't retire their team looking for their 4th title so instead of inspired they're tired So the knicks beat the bulls Which everybody would agree would be much more inspiring and motivating to beat the bulls with Jordan on the team and I think the knicks win the title with that kind of motivation because they lost a close match with the rockets in 7. So Without Jordan in the league rockets beat the knicks in 7 With Michael Jordan in the league rockets lose to the knicks in 6.
Especially since Horace Grant had left the Bulls in 94
@@juanm6248 if Jordan was there Horace would not have left, and if he does while Jordan is there they would have gotten a suitable replacement.
@@brotherjesse922 I don’t think that would have mattered. Nor, if they had Rodman. Hakeem beat both of them, with a HOF Center in the 95 playoffs.
Damn this statline is absolutely ridiculous. If this happened now, he'd be in GOAT convos lol.
not in the playoffs
On a 39w team an still loss 😂😂😂
@@melvynsngltn27 yeah really Hakeems fault they lost. At least he upped his game in the playoffs this series from the regular season unlike that Chamberlain guy 😂😂😂
@@FuShengAlex WoW one series. While Wilt played like that most of his career. Hakeem played in a weak era less than 7 good centers yet 27 & 29 teams 😂😂😂
@@melvynsngltn27 yeah I like how you dont add Sampson was steep in decline and the drug problems this series. But still the great Hakeem still stepped it up.
Chamberlain only put up such stratospheric #s....in the regular season. Pasting 100 on some bum assed Knicks team in a meaningless regular season game....am I supposed by that when there isnt much at stake?
Wilt in 1968 with a chance to eliminate Boston in game 6 when teammate Greer was red hot with 40 pts:
6/21 from the floor. But hey his FT shooting was actually better...8/22 😂😂
Hakeem Olajuwon = Beast! Greatest Center Ever!
A beast on the court
Best big man ever they still come to him in Houston for footwork lessons.
Sudhir Kakar No..
He really won a MVP while not eating and drinking during the games.
From sun up to sun down for Ramadan
And while playing the Kinda Defense He did.
He’s Muslim, I respect
Hakeem showed class in this loss to the Sonics. It's nice too see good sportsmanship.
Even though he squared off with Maurice Lucas early in the game.
these highlights are insane. he was on another level and he's playing against pros.
This was basic Olajuwon, before he created all these wonderful offensive moves. U can tell he really put a lot of time and effort into improving. He became a monster and I say a top 3 all time center.
The season after this he became the only player in history to get 200+ blocks and STEALS in the same season with 24p, 13r. Then the season after that, he avg 24p, 14r(led NBA), 2.9a, 174 steals, and 376 blocks(led NBA) on 51% FG!
This is like watching an entire elite team play against one man, and only barely winning. That's insane.
This is called dominance young fellas, with hard n physical rules n picky refs u still dominated that game. They're generation we're WAY tougher then theez guys
It was so much fun watching him play all those years.
For me he is the greatest center of all time.
Same. If you don't focus on solely championships... This guy was the most complete Center in the history of the game. His footwork and post up moves were unmatched. He was fit and fast AF. Could hit free throws. Everyone that picks Shaq was never around to see this guy play.
If you put Hakeem over Mike I couldn’t even argue with you. Only superstar to win without another star. No guard, or any other player will ever be able to do that like Hakeem did. People are programmed to believe Mike is the GOAT but forget what Hakeem did. He had multiple triple-doubles, he had quadruple-double games, and almost quintuple-double games. I’ll always have to take a skilled big like Hakeem over any guard. Who else could win a chip with no stars? (Not including ‘04 Pistons). If you disagree you have to explain.
Sudhir Kakar idiot
Dude was Dikembe Mutombo defensively, but also had the greatest catalog of offensive moves in NBA history for a center lol.
This just in. Not a bad player.....
He was better defensively than mutombo by quite a bit
@@anonymoususer2080 Ehhh. Better stealer of the basketball, yes, but all around as a defender, Mutumbo was a GREAT, and one of the best defensive players in history.
Four time DPOY, tied for most in history. No disrespect intended, but to say Hakeem was quite a bit better as a defender is just silly.
@@chocolatetownforever7537 No, Hakeem was better because he could also guard smaller players, pick and rolls etc. Mutumbo was an amazing rim protector.
Still my favorite and best Centre I’d seen. Skills, smooth, precision
This man is so underrated
I be killing with Hakeem moves in street bball dude post game was perfect no matter how strong or big the moves work mix with Shaq elbows
Man that statline is CRAZY!!!
I remember watching this game live at the time, Akeem was amazing and wouldn't let his team down, but his teammates just didn't show up. That was also the beginning of the end for Sampson
Seattle was the Rockets nighmare! I always remember that game Hakeem went off and they still get beat!
Honestly if I could pick Olajuwon or Jordan, I’m going with Olajuwon, call me crazy
He does more on the court than MJ and does not need as much talent around him to win. Which shows you how poor Houston's front office was. They literally could have put Hakeem and MJ on the same team.
Lol Hakeem is great but would need the guards to give him the ball whereas MJ can do it himself which is why MJ is the GOAT.
You're not crazy because every NBA general managers thought the same thing for the 1984 draft ...
@@vh2712 so I remember mj didn't bring the ball up either it was a point guard or pippen so they gave him the ball the exact same way so whats your point
@joceja23 Jordan only played 13 full seasons

@Alexander the Great nah
It took 7...SEVEN more years for this GOAT to win a championship. This is the effect that not having a co-star has on your numbers.
That’s where Jordan got lucky, he had 1 hall of famer Pippen who was a 22 6 7 guy, and then they gave him Rodman a second Hall of famer. Hakeem didn’t have another hall of famer until 1995, they should of gave him help long before that.
@@walemeshioye3504remember olajuwon won the title without any help from an all-star, unlike Jordan who had help the entire time of his career to win titles.
Hakeem the type of player that you tell someone the Rockets drafted him ahead of Michael Jordan and someone says the Rockets made a good pick.
Hakeem is Better than Lebron
Hakeem is very good your is best
I feel like it would’ve been a good finale if it was Hakeem vs Jordan
Hakeem crushing Jordan and pippen all by himself without any all star helping him in the NBA Finals.
@@hectorlopez1069 Why do you say that though?
Could you imagine if hakeem played with Dwade or Kobe he would have more rings than Shaq in my opinion.
Best big man all time...hands fuckin down
And Jordan can't complain about it.
Thank you for this page !!! I post them on FB with the caption when the NBA was watchable
#Knicksfan
Like Dirk, KG, etc, this man in his prime and early years needed an All NBA caliber player or consistent all star by his side. Look at the all time greats. They always had a great team or duo which contributed to their team success. Kareem/Oscar/Magic, Russell and his HOF teammates, and Shaq/Kobe/Dwade are centers who are consistently ranked ahead of Hakeem had HOF type teammates.
When he was Akeem. Bad bwoy right there
I think he had a quadruple double a couple times; He was equally awesome on both ends of the floor.
My favorite center of all time so far.
A mix of Guard and Center skillset like Jabbar and MJ
It was once reported that Sampson was going to be traded for Drexler and the Portland Trailblazers 1984 pick. Rockets already had #1 pick and wouldn't take another big guy besides Hakeem. So if that deal went thru Rockets would have had Hakeem, Drexler and a guy by the name of Michael Jordan. That young trio would have won for decades.
That would be more than 11 championships that bill Russell has.
Lots of talk of Steph being in the top 10 now that he got his 4th ring. I love Steph, but dude had Klay, Dray, Iggy, and then Klay, Dray, Iggy, and KD, and then Klay, Dray, and Poole. Hakeem had jack squat and still worked over Malone (back-to-back) Chuck (back-to-back) humiliated Ewing, embarrassed Robinson/Rodman, and swept Shaq, all in a back-to-back title run from ‘94-‘95. I take Dream
Not to mention dominating the defending champ Showtime Lakers and taking the 86' Celtics to game 6 of the Finals at age 23
Ewing, I think, was bested, not "humiliated". Same for Shaq.
@@ikarugaxx3749 "Humiliated" is indeed strong language. One could decide for themselves how to best describe a scenario where, in a 7-game NBA Finals series, one team leader,
a) averages almost twice as many turnovers as assists (1.7 APG / 3.1 TOs/G),
and,
b) shoots 36 FG% for 5.5 less PPG than his season average,
and the other one,
a) matches his regular season assist average (3.5 APG), averages over 2x the assists as the other guy, and does this despite his 3 top-scoring teammates in the series (Maxwell, Horry, Cassell) shooting a combined 36 FG% for a combined 34 PPG
b) matches his regular season average (27 PPG) on 50 FG%,
c) shoots 86 FT% on 6 FTA/G, 14.5% better than the other guy (71.5 FT%, despite taking only half as many FTs/G, 3 FTA/G),
and,
d) still averages 9 RPG, 1.6 SPG and 3.9 BPG
In a must-win NBA Finals Game 4, at home in MSG, down 1-2 in the series, Ewing shot 8-28 (28.5 FG%), went 0-2 in free throws, and fouled out with 16 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1steal, and 1 block.
Olajuwon in that game: 14-20 (70 FG%), 4-4 FTs, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks.
With an opportunity to win it all in the elimination game 6, Ewing shot 6-20 (30 FG%) for 17 points. He was tremendous defensively (15 rebounds, 4 blocks) but terrible offensively. Instead of NYK sealing the deal right then and there with an at-least-average offensive performance from Ewing, they found themselves merely teetering on the precipice of the NBA Championship in the closing seconds due to John Starks's 27 points on 50/56/80 shooting.
After scoring 30 points on 11-21 (52.5 FG%) and perfect 8-8 free-throw shooting, grabbing 10 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 steal, Dream not only came all the way from the high post to switch the 2-5 PNR, not only blanketed 6'5" SG off the switch, but STRAIGHT UP BLOCKED STARKS' 3-POINT ATTEMPT to save the season.
I never said Dream "humiliated" Shaq. I said he swept him. I should have said, "...led HOU to a sweep of Shaq/Penny ORL..." Either way, I never said Dream "humiliated" Shaq.
@@margarinetaintedgreen8140 All cllarified.
And I agree with your rephrasing about the HOU-ORL series.
Only wonder left to me, how did it come that Ewing got so many more rebounds than Hakeem's as he did.
That stats is truly amazing comparing it todays era... Prime olajuwon in todays game he is playing warm up players
Houston is he only team that didn’t feel as bad for not drafting MJ
No doubt about it, it was the perfect pick in the history of the Houston Rockets.
Hakeem always rose to the challenge. He played *better* in the playoffs
Hakeem was a Dream in Houston but was the opposing teams worst nightmare.
You got that right, everybody was afraid of the dream.
Lol, whole team swarming him every possession and he's still getting buckets. You know your teammates suck if that happens.
Hakeem was picked over MJ and never heard anyone complained about Hakeem being #1 pick in the draft over MJ, Barkley, Stockton, and everyone else in the 1984 draft.
That shows Hakeem was a star to the Rockets franchise.
Indudablemente el mejor centro que he visto excelentes movimientos y buen tiro de larga y corta distancia
El Hakeem era imparable. Tremendo jugador. El centro con mejores movimientos que he visto. The Best.
If you started a franchise and picked Hakeem with the first pick, nobody can really hate on you anyway 🤷♂️
That proves it was never a problem to not pick MJ in the first pick.
That old Seattle arena was ALWAYS ROCKIN
I dont care for Jordan but I agree with him on at least one thing……Dream is greatest center I’ve ever seen!! Period!!
Best Center in the history... Legend Hakeem
Not a problem at all in the 84 draft. The man was unstoppable in his career in the NBA.
This is embarrassing, he had no help from his teammates to win this game. Poor olajuwon, he needed the help from them to win this one.
Simply the greatest!!!👍👍👍
Sudhir Kakar you've got a point. You can argue Kareem or Wilt. From high school on it would be Kareem!!!
Clippers Suck I would say Kareem, Wilt, Hakeem in that order. Kareem had an unstoppable shoot, Wilt dominate on both ends of floor, just didn't have great teams, Hakeem the most versatile!!!
Sudhir Kakar you make a good argument and you memory is a lot better than mine Lol!!!!
The main difference between Jordan and Hakeem is that Jordan got to play with 1 HOF teammate for about 10 years, and 3 HOF teammates for 4-5 years, while Hakeem got Clyde at the end of both of their careers.
@breadandcircuses8127Hakeem would of made Jordan look silly with beating him for the title with pippen on his side.
Jordan had pippen and Olajuwon had no one, Olajuwon owned Jordan and pippen in their careers.
perhaps the most agile big of all time, next to maybe david robinson or wilt
Bill Russell was more agile than Wilt
@@catcountry0099 tru i forgot about russell, my b
Why does AI (as much as I love him) get credit for the crossover? Hakeem was doing it 10 years before!
The most complete center in NBA history. Literally zero flaws in his game. 💯
He did all that...and they still lost...bruh
Nobody on the rockets but Hakeem avg more than 17p, 9r this whole series. The Sonics had Ellis-28p, Chambers-25p, McDaniel-17p! Olajuwon avg 30p, 12r, 3.8b, on 60%fg this series

Top 5 player no 🧢
Damn did y'all just discover who Olajuwon is? Second video today! Make a video of his games against the bad boy pistons!
Armando De Los Santos I didn't. Hakeem is one of my all time favs and is a top 10 all time player.
Armando De Los Santos what he did against the pistons ?
Armando De Los Santos nice to see you always commenting on Hakeem's video... You are my man bro
Imagine dropping 49pts with 25reb and losing...
He didn't have good players to help him with this game.
force of nature
Unreal stat line!
He's such a skilled basketball player...you forget he's a 7 foot center.
I don't even think Jordan would have won more games with the Rockets than Hakeem did. For much of his career, Hakeem's supporting cast was pretty mediocre yet the Rockets still had some decent runs in the playoffs just because of Hakeem. Then his supporting cast got a little better and he won a couple of championships.
@breadandcircuses8127MJ was lost in the regular seasons playing against Olajuwon Rockets. Rockets won multiple games against the bulls in the 80s and 90s.
@@hectorlopez1069 That had nothing to do with MJ and more to do with the fact that the Bulls often lacked an elite center/front court. Hakeem was destroying Shaq, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, etc., do you really think Bill Cartwright or Luc Longly were going to match up favorably against him? It was a weakness of the Bulls as a team, elite centers and sometimes even elite power forwards caused them trouble.
This dude top 10
Tim Duncan is comparable to Hakeem. Fundamental and fineness playing style mixed with great defense😉
Duncan always reminded me of a prime Kareem without the skyhook
The dream legendary
And the Sonics still won 🤯
Hakeem is the best player in NBA history I don’t care what nobody says
Why do you say that Hakeem was the true best player that the NBA has ever had?
