Bill Russell is not even skilled offensively.

Hakeem is skilled both offensively and defensively.

i have to agree with the T/S if he isnt the most skilled he is definitely up there

02-20-2010, 12:29 PM

I don't know how anyone can argue with the title "Most Skilled". We aren't talking rings, so the Russell talk can stop there. I'm glad to see a few dudes giving D-Rob some love. Guy was a monster on both ends of the court.

[pic] YouTube - Hakeem Olajuwon takes David Robinson for a ride

best player ever on the pivot
dream shake>>>> everything else

02-20-2010, 02:57 PM

Hakeem The Dream >>>>>>

Dude was amazing, use to always try to do !! moves in school haha. As a big man you would watch The Dream play and just be in awwwww of his moves down in the paint.. a big man moving that fast is crazy.

Russell - 11 rings and you probably have never seen him play once

Dave Cowens - "listed" at 6'9 and won MVP playing center vs the likes of chamberlain

stop talkin out your[..]

????

Skill wise? there is no doubt that Hakeem was the most skilled center to ever play the game. Its not even close, so i dont see why you're taking shots...

02-20-2010, 03:59 PM

Hakeem was a bad dude.

He did bad things to good people.

Unreal posts moves

How many HOF's were on the boston celtics during those years ?[pic]

you could argue who was better than who all day, but honestly no center was as skilled as Hakeem, none were as freakishly athletic as Wilt(maybe Dwight Howard), none had an unstoppable weapon like Kareems hook, and none lead a team or had the basketball IQ of Russell. [pic]

What is wrong with you people??? The man said skilled he didnt say best or who won the most !!... Yall sound dumb when a nicca ask who is the most skilled and the first response is Russell cuz he got 11 rings like that has anything to with skills...

Sam Jones won 11 rings to i guess he is the most skilled shooting guard in NBA history huh?? Bob Cousy won what 7 rings does that make him the most skilled PG??? No he is talking about skill and talent...

And the average height of the Center in those days was like 6'9" if not shorter... You have like 4 players over 7 foot and Wilt retired 2 years after Cowen got in the league... You act like he was playing against Kareem and Wilt every night... He was mostly playing against niccas his height...

olajuwon did something that to me is just as impressive as oscar averaging a triple double in a season, he is the only player to have 2000 points 1000 rebounds 200 steals and 200 blocks in the same season. if that doesn't say most skilled i don't know what does

I dont get your point at all about the players... I would think its harder to win in a league of 330 of the world top athletes of all races...

As opposed to a league of 100 mostly white American players only... which wasnt even the best 100 players in the world as racism prevented majority of the black athletes from playing and no international players were even in the league...

So yeah its harder and harder to win against the Worlds best as opposed to the USA's racially unequal league at that time... Do you think it was a coincidence that damn near every championship game involved Russell, Baylor, Chamberlain, Reed and Jabbar [pic][pic]
