I don't think so. Hakeem is the best Center ever.
YES! that's what i was referring to earlier in the last thread. that's like Dream Shake x2

I'm not going to even dignify this comment with a response.Ninja Scooter said:TMac could have been playing in the weakass East alongside Dwight Howard right now but no, he cried and whined his way out of town because he didn't want to be a part of a rebuild and play alongside a high schooler. He made his bed...

Hay it was a joke, but i'm glad you didn't take it too serious. I'm a believer in the Blazers now, once Oden acclimates into the NBA it will be like the '00 playoffs again!reilo said:Sure thing, bud.

Huh?Jeff-DSA said:Hakeem was incredible, but the amount of traveling they let him get away with was downright stupid. I don't think anybody can objectively deny that.

Blackace said:we aren't talking about Ewing...
Jeff-DSA said:Well, to be fair, most of the scoring centers have been given freedom to take extra steps, slide their pivot foot, and pound a bit more than what's considered fair, but Hakeem definitely outdid Ewing in the traveling department.
At least he didn't pound the crap out of people with his shoulder like Shaq is allowed to, however.
And makes Jazz fans forget Malone's Elbow of Thor.OpinionatedCyborg said:Apparently the crack in Salt Lake City is pretty good...

Jeff-DSA said:No, why in the freak would I care about something that old enough to get mad? Am I the only one old enough to remember how it really was? Back in the day I was always pulling for Houston when the Jazz got bounced, so it's not like I've ever been anti-Houston or anything. Oh yeah, one other think about Hakeem, it was miraculous how he'd always be suffering from fatigue from his anemia the last month of the season but just be all dandy and ready to go come playoff time!
Oh, and The Stealth Fox should back out of this one, he's obviously not an objective participant in this one.

Jeff-DSA said:At least he didn't pound the crap out of people with his shoulder like Shaq is allowed to, however.
Jeff-DSA said:Honestly, I'm trying to be. What would I care when it comes between Ewing and Hakeem? If you're going to tie it to Hakeem playing in the West, forget it, the Rockets were just better than Utah back then.
This is all moot anyway. If Sabonis hadn't had crappy knees he probably would be remembered as just as good (if not better). His skill set was incredible.
*runs*

Gigglepoo said:Did someone just compare Ewing to Hakeem? Really? Come on! Hakeem is the most skill center I have ever seen and the second most dominate player during his championship runs. If you want to see a center travel, watch Ewing go across the lane.

Did you see the one game winner Ewing hit in the playoffs? I believe it was against the Pacers and Ewing committed the worst traveling violation that was never called. From what I remember he took about 4 steps then used a jump stop and then took 3 more steps before he threw up some crap shot that somehow went down.
To this day I am still not sure what was more amazing. The fact that Ewing got away with that violation or that he made a GW shot.
That's because the NBA saved the battle of the millennium for tomorrow at the Target Center. Such a history event cannot take place on a Saturday.aznpxdd said:Sigh...no good games tonight.
Jeff-DSA said:Having conversations of GAF about basketball is almost useless because apparently what one person does completely negates what another does. So since player A on team A does something it immediately downgrades what player B does on team B? Nice logic.

The hell? It was Ramadan... of course he'd have anemia during the last month of the season.

Howard could sleepwalk through the game and put up 20 and 10 on the Knicks.Meier said:Poor Knicks. Hard to stop D-12 when he's in beast mode like tonight.
Yes, I am too, which is why I met the man when he came to Orlando. I met him at the downtown Mosque and actually had my picture taken with him. I lost it though... it was a Polaroid. :lolreilo said:He was that religious? No wonder him and Kareem were always skinny-strong not strong-big.

sohu said:"Yao Ming's seeking of a second opinion is over. Three top doctors in the field gave the same advice after the examination. They said that Yao Ming needs to have a microfracture surgery and bone screws will be used to fix the tarsal navicular bone of his left foot to speed up healing of the stress fracture. Meanwhile, this surgery can prevent similar injuries from happening. The surgery will also involve removal of bone spurs in Yao's left foot in order to increase ankle range of motion and try to reduce risk of future bone fracture as much as possible."
"Yao Ming's foot stress facture has a lot to do with his high arched feet (a.k.a. cavus type feet) , and his previous fifth metatarsal fracture also has something to with it. So after the surgery this time future similar injuries can be prevented. Also after the surgery adjustments will be made to Yao Ming's shoes and shoe innersoles"
" I am 100% sure Yao Ming can play in Olympics. Right now it looks like Yao Ming will need 3-4 months' time to recover from the injury. The doctors are hoping he can wait until his left foot is 100% healed before he can get back on the court. There are news reports blaming Yi Jianlian for causing Yao's injury by stepping on his foot, those blamings are unfair to Yi since Yao's injury has nothing to do with Yi."
sina said:Yao Ming's microfracture surgery is now scheduled for March 3 (Monday) at the Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, and the surgeon will be Tom Clanton, Houston Rockets' team physician. Tom Clanton is one of the top US orthopaedic specialists/surgeons who had done numerous such surgery for athletes, including Grant Hill.
