the way he moved around the court from 91-95 was just so much faster than everyone else, he looked like a small forward in a centers body, and undersized at that, he literally went for every block and his timing was insane, his fadeaway was essentially like kareems skyhook, knew it was coming yet still shot it countless times and made it, o and also the hook shot, he shot that like it was a jumpshot sometimes, literally 12 feet out contorting his body to get off a hook shot
Not winning a championship always leads to people underestimating how good you are.. idc what anybody says, Hakeem top 3 centers all time BOTH in the highest peaks list and in the overall career efficiency list
I missed peak Bird and Magic in the 80's but I was blessed to watch peak MJ and Olajuwon in the 90's. I won't complain.
true the championship form wasn't the peak olajuwon, his team just finally caught up
Another great video. Hakeem reached his prime this year.
Hakeem was a great player
If the Rockets beat the Supersonics in 1993 they may have 3-peated. The Bulls always had difficulty in beating the Rockets.
They should've, but a questionable call prevented them from happening.
@@KWCline91calls*
They would've had to beat the bulls to win the title in 93. That wasn't happening for Houston
@@coryyoung1857 Bulls were 1-5 against the Rockets from 91-93 and they lost twice. Plus MJ always knew they had trouble with Hakeem.
@KWCline91 playoffs were different when jordan was playing. He found away to turn it up another level of 2. He would've found a way
The Rockets could beat anyone but the Sonics. That team was Hakeem's kryptonite. After they traded Shawn Kemp, it didn't matter, the Rockets were irrelevant by then.
To be fair, the Rockets were up and coming in 1993 and they weren't significantly healthy in 96 (the year Seattle was the best West team). Once the Rockets got Barkley in the trade did they finally beat Seattle in the playoffs.
They "beat" Hakeem when Hakeem had injured or missing starters in the second half of rhe 80s. What about 1996 when Hakeem teammates missed almost 150 games. Funny how this always gets skipped. The best you can say is 1993 and even that one has doubt due to questionable calls by Dick Bavetta. Plus we saw the true version of the Sonics in 1994 and 1995. Yet hey let's pretend none of this happen.
@JamesHardenoverKobe13 nah bro. Kemp was drafted in 89. The decade was over. Gary Payton was drafted in 90. Seattle wasn't jack UNTIL the 90s. And the Sonics were an enigma. 1st top seed to lose to an 8 seed, then go to finals. But they seemed to have the Rockets number.
