Let's see. Hakeem in the prime + Wilks today vs. Yao in March + Steve a year ago :D When fatigue is not an issue, Yao...
I see. Dream is by far the best center of all time and Yao is at most Rick Smits. Since Dream hadn't won his first championship until his 10th...
Yao needs a little experience. He already has all the tools, big, tall and heavy. Just acting like a stiff, he would be as effective as...
Offense: Dream > Yao, but Yao is not far off. In fact, he's pretty unstoppable 1-on-1. Steve >> young...
The 94' team wouldn't win the championship if they played today. Hakeem was a beast, but the 1-on-1 offense could't beat the zone. Remember...
Jackson knows how to use his players.
I think it's pretty fair to say that Yao may achieve more than Dream, even he is not as impressive. At least Yao learned to trust his teammate...
Francis lost to Pau a couple of rounds ago. Not many die-hard fans of Steve these days.
I am watching the 1999-2000 finals on espn classics. Back then the Lakers wasn't that dominating and Pacer did give them a good run for the...
nope. shaq and yao are the only two centers double or triple-teamed. Zone also makes Steve less effective.
The zone kills the effectiveness of big man.
But looking from the videos of 60s and 70s, the defense was weak even in the finals. The tempo was slow and there were a lot of white players....
the guy in ****************,net probably has better statistics. I just did a simple check from basketballreference,com. The 1964-1965 celtics...
damn. the 2000 Shaq was simply too dominant. No basketball player in the history could stop him then.
You see. Hakeem's bread and butter was fad away jumpers. Shaq couldn't stop him. However, a young Shaq was just too strong for Hakeem to defend...
:rolleyes: I guess Rudy wouldn't also get any credit about the two titles. With similar argument, you can say he just came in at the the...
Well, if you check the above stats, P.Ewing had 4 blks. He also shot a higher percentage(55.1% vs. 50.1%). He was definitely not one-dimensional.
Someone in ********************* did a calculation. The amount of rbs were 3?% more in the 60s than today. He then scaled the player rbs based...
You'd better take these numbers with a grain of salt. No way Wilt can average 50 pts and 26 rbs in today's league. He was 7'2 but only 275 lbs.
I understand now why before 1993, people considered Ewing and Robinson were better than Hakeem. But 2 titles changed everything. Image what if...
