Olajuwon vs Giannis

[Rudeboy3]

Giannis at 24:
MVP, ESPY best NBA player and Athlete

27/13/6 on 65% ts
Defensive box plus-minus of 5.0, tied with Kevin Garnett


Olajuwon at 24:

Irrelevant!


It's obvious who the best player is out of the 2 is, Giannis!

Kblaze stay out of my thread

Hakeem knocked off Magic & Kareem and made the Finals at 23. Giannis just got his ass whooped by Kawhi :oldlol:

[superduper]

“Now, every day in my head, I’m seeing Gasol double-team me,” Antetokounmpo said. “You think I’m joking, but I’m not. I’m not seeing anybody else. I don’t care who’s guarding me. Give me a name. Thaddeus Young. All I’m seeing is Kawhi, Gasol coming because I know that.

Imagine Hakeem being that visibly shook :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Magic and lakers were falling off, he made it to the finals to lose. The west then wasn't even close to what Giannis faced in the east. The Raptors had one of the greatest defences in postseason history. Hakeem never faced anything like that, foh

Lmao @ going one on one. Giannis was going one on four. That just lets you know how devasting Giannis is if teams are guarding him with their entire 5 mane lineup and Hakeem was being guarded one on one.

Giannis straight beast :bowdown:

[superduper]

Marc Gasol > David Robinson/Shaq/Kareem

[Rudeboy3]

Falling off? They won b2b titles after that :oldlol:
And where was Hakeem? No one where to be seen, bum. He took advantage of a down year then never did shit again for awhile. Dude was a clyde drexler baby

[Rudeboy3]

Marc Gasol > David Robinson/Shaq/Kareem
Fake news. Marc gasol, kawhi, serge ibaka, Pascal siakam, Danny green>Robinson/Shaq/Kareem. Two former DPOY,3 guys who've all made the NBA defensive first team multiple times and another in Danny Green who's made Defensive second team multiple times and an atheltic long PF in pascal. Hakeem has never faced that many players on the same team with that level of defensive IQ and attention that Giannis did and that's faxx

[Kblaze8855]

Hakeem was 33 the day you were born. You don’t know anything about the basketball you actually see and you’re on here here talking about basketball you only heard about expecting to be taken serious?


Nearly everything you say is a verbal train wreck fit only to be grimaced at and turned away from in embarrassment.

Giannis numbers look great on paper, but he doesn't pass the eye test when comparing him to Olajuwon.

[Kblaze8855]

Lmao, you can't refute my points so you try and insult. Pathic really, just accept the fact Giannis>>Hakeem

If Giannis played in the crappy era when Hakeem played, he would have gone down as the GOAT

[sdot_thadon]

Don't do drugs youngin, Dream is what Giannis should hope to be once he reaches his peak. He has an outside shot of becoming a perimeter oriented version of Hakeem but nah. Akeem was a wild dude at that age, and that's before he completely refined his game and became a nightmare. When you see Giannis lead his squad to a ring or 2 and dominate his peers then we can talk.

[Rudeboy3]

Eye test? Lmao have you watched hakeem play? His bitch ass is on the post, waiting for someone to pass him the ball. The 80s-90s is sooo overrated, dudes overrated. The majority of Giannis field goals are unassisted and he shoots 58% :eek:

Hakeem doesn't pass the eye test, dude looks raw af. He would be no better than pascal in todays NBA. sick and tired of these overrated old players :mad:

Giannis already dominates, the raptors needed 2 former dpoys, another guy with 3 all-defensive first-team selections (ibaka), another with several all defensive second selections (Danny Green) and an athletic long pf in pascal to slow him down. All that just for one guy, GOAT :bowdown:

I was in Orlando during the finals when Dream swept Shaq and a more talented Magic team.

I was with my aunt and her friends were over and they loved the Magic.

My great uncle, whom my father told to take care of me if he died, was there and he told me to go get a broom and start sweeping.

I was sweeping all around their feet.

RIP uncle Ed. He was my sports buddy. He was shot in WW2 and could barely get around. I like sports because of him.

Reminds me of a buddy I used to have when I was young.

I'd talk a lot of shit just to make things more competitive. Otherwise, playing a video game seemed dull. I'd destroy him on his own game because he didn't know basketball like me and he'd shoot threes with dudes like Ostertag.

He couldn't take it.

Is this how low you're stooping? Threatening to ban me because im hitting you with hard facts and evidence?

Hakeem would never in a million years lead this year's bucks to 60 wins and take them to the cf. Dude would have probably fought with the coach and players. He was lucky to play in the 80s where there was no skill.

Greek right now is nowhere near peak Hakeem. Greek can't score in the half court against tight defences. He has absolutely no mid range or post game. He's extremely one dimentional. Hakeem on the other hand had one of the best post games ever. Greek has the potential to be the best player in the league and maybe go down as one of the greatest ever but he's not there yet and dosnt belong in the same conversation as hakeem

giannis has areas to improve but my goodness bledsoe wasnt helping him at all that series. I was on the bandwagon of developing a midrange/floater but better playmaking would also help a lot. When the defense is triple teaming, a good shooter will be open

Yh thats what i've been saying. People keep harping on Giannis 3 point shooting, that wasn't the problem. The problem was his slow passing and ft shooting. The Celtics ran the same D as the raptors and the bucks destroyed them because they were making their 3 point shots and making timely cuts, including Giannis. They went cold from 3 during the raptors series and Bledsoe screwed them and provided no spacing for Giannis whatsoever.

They pretty much have to learn from this, especially Giannis. That's why I have a hard time believing (barring injury of course) that anyone in the east is beating them next season. There's no defence anyone can throw out that will be better than the raps D from this season, that was an all-time defence

Appears that despite my incredibly low opinion of you I still gave you too much credit. I know you

[Rudeboy3]

Appears that despite my incredibly low opinion of you I still gave you too much credit. I know you’re stupid. I didn’t think you were stupid enough to compare awards by age when the espys didn’t exist till Hakeem was 30. It’s like you’re trying to drive home my point that you’re too dim witted to be held accountable for your actions. You literally cannot be found guilty in a fair court because you’re incapable of contributing intelligently to your own defense. You are so lucky to have been born in a country with the bill of rights. You have a free pass from our judicial system to the day you die.

I believe you hit the sweet spot. You’re a high functioning moron capable of all manner of destruction but impossible to convict of a crime. You might as well go around bare faced robbing people. There’s nothing society could do about it but get you counseling and a few months in a padded room. You’re free from the burden of expectations and you waste this gift being a fanatical cheerleader?

You could go around murdering pedophiles and do some good for the world. If they brought you to court pre trial and your lawyer asked the judge to pull up this topic he would be forced to let you go. You could be the short bus Punisher and clean up the streets with impunity. You can help this world in ways most of us could never get away with.

You’re wasting your powers. We have to get you a firearm and a competent handler to point you in the right direction immediately......
I won't lie, that part was funny, but still, **** you. Writing paragraphs about random shit on a basketball forum. I got you so hot and bothered because I have you staring down the barrel of a gun, forcing you to admit that Giannis is indeed better than Hakeem.

It's okay, just let it go, admit defeat. Maybe your wife will start to respect you again and will only cheat on you with the mailman on weekends, and not the usual 7 days straight :roll: :roll:

STFU, Giannis is my fav player, of course i watched it and i watched him get subjected to a level od defence than hakeem has never faced. I'm talking triple-team after triple team, quadruple teams too, constantl helping off shooters to build a fking wall and the shooters kept missing wide open 3 after wide open 3.

Good luck trying to score on a team with players that have as many defensive accolades like the 2018-2019 did, foh

No shit they're going to form a wall against a dude who can literally only drive the ball while having absolutely zero threat from 5+ feet out. WTF do you want them to do let him take it to the rim with his stiff arms and travels for free every single time? What do you think this is Fisher Price basketball? :roll: :roll:

If Giannis had any ounce of true basketball skill in terms of being able to generate a skillful shot on a consistent basis 5+ feet outside of the basket then he wouldn't have seen the defense he did. In fact if he had that skill then he could literally score every single possession down the court no matter what the defense threw at him. He doesn't have that skillset and he was visibly shook of the moment. He had no idea what to do.

Is this guy legit retarded or something WTF? :roll: :roll:

This statement proves that this dude dosnt know shit about basketball. Dream is a better defender, playoff scorer, and rebound. dream also has one of the best post game ever and can also hit a mid range. all greek can do is dribble better and that is actually a pointless advantage in the playoffs because Greek can't use that skill to score in the half court.

philly's size could be even formidable than toronto. They also have the best big for throwing at giannis in horford and other size in embiid, harris, and simmons. Mil also lost their best shooter in brogdon, wes is fine but eh thats a downgrade.

Ik bledsoe is good overall but for this team he's too much of an offensive liability. Even shooting 30% on catch and shoots like he does the regular season which was a lot better than his like 10% during the raps series is not good enough. Consider trying to get toronto to take back bledsoe+ersan for lowry if they're trading their guys at the deadline. Consider a trade for gallo too so you can play khris at the 2. With this current team, giannis will have to make a sizable jump as a passer or scorer to counter the wall.

I believe you hit the sweet spot. You’re a high functioning moron capable of all manner of destruction but impossible to convict of a crime. You might as well go around bare faced robbing people. There’s nothing society could do about it but get you counseling and a few months in a padded room. You’re free from the burden of expectations and you waste this gift being a fanatical cheerleader?

You could go around murdering pedophiles and do some good for the world. If they brought you to court pre trial and your lawyer asked the judge to pull up this topic he would be forced to let you go. You could be the short bus Punisher and clean up the streets with impunity. You can help this world in ways most of us could never get away with.

You’re wasting your powers. We have to get you a firearm and a competent handler to point you in the right direction immediately......

Geesus. That's enough. :bowdown:

Edit cause I like giannis and he is a fan and we should respect his fandom even if we find it silly

[Rudeboy3]

Look at the fear in Hakeems eyes, too scared too look at Giannis in his eyes because he knows he was unworthy to be in his presence. Even back when Giannis was a rookie, Hakeem knew Giannis>>>Hakeem, it was inevitable and now it's happened. Old heads still mad

This is the weirdest gimmick, of all players to target :lol

Gimmick? This isn't a gimmick it's fax. Old heads still upset till this day. It's a straight-up fact that old skool players can't stack up to the new generation of players. If Giannis played in the 80s-90s he would be considered the GOAT

I think you're an old guy pretending to be a Giannis fan because for some reason you try your hardest to get people to dislike the guy.

Either that, or you're a complete f'n idiot. Difficult to discern which as of yet.

[Mr Feeny]

Why is this even a thread?:oldlol: Of all the dumb threads in ISH, this is right up there. There is no way the OP even believes what he's saying.

i'm 22, why dafuq would i want to be an old head?

[sportjames23]

I thought the Bron stanleys disrespect of past greats was bad. This is on that same level of foolishness. :facepalm

[jayfan]

Clearly a troll thread.

And Hakeem is a poor choice as an "old school" target. Can you imagine him playing in this P&R-happy league today? He'd wreck it.

Wreck what? Dude couldn't shoot for crap, it's all about the face up game in the league, his fancy post work wouldn't mean shit. Embiid,Jokic and AD would all shit on him. Hakeem is lucky he played in the watered-down 80s and 90s

[superduper]

This guy says Hakeem has no face up game LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Kblaze8855]

I swear to God I

[imdaman99]

Lol imagine pretending you're not trolling when you talk smack about a legend that you never even saw play. You were not born when he was tearing everyone to pieces. Robinson, Ewing, Shaq. He lit these 3 guys up, they had no answer for him.

At least he wouldn't get locked up by Marc Gasol :lol

[SouBeachTalents]

But why would OP specifically call out Hakeem, a dude who neither played in Giannis' era or even played his position. That on its own as is retarded as anything else he's said in the thread

[Real Men Wear Green]

Appears that despite my incredibly low opinion of you I still gave you too much credit. I know you’re stupid. I didn’t think you were stupid enough to compare awards by age when the espys didn’t exist till Hakeem was 30. It’s like you’re trying to drive home my point that you’re too dim witted to be held accountable for your actions. You literally cannot be found guilty in a fair court because you’re incapable of contributing intelligently to your own defense.

Name the team Hakeem went up against that had 2 DPOYS, players with 10+ all NBA defensive team selections combined, one of them being a 2 time block leader and a young athletic PF. The raptors had the second greatest defence of all time in the playoffs.

Hakeem has never faced such a D. He would get locked up worse than Giannis. Stop it

[Kblaze8855]

The 1995 spurs front court was 2 DPOYs(3total wins) 16 all defensive teams combined, 2 time block leader and a combined 8 rebounding titles....Hakeem’s direct matchup being a 28/11 player and the mvp so he couldn’t rest on the other end.

Hakeem averaged 35/13/5 on 56% shooting and won.


Stop it

I couldn't agree more.

[Bigsmoke]

Kawhi > David Robinson

BUT DREAM> Giannis anyways

[Lebron23]

Hakeem Olajuwon much better playoffs performer.

[RRR3]

Yikes.

[ThatCoolKid]

Wow I never realized what an asshole Kblaze is.

That wasn't even funny, just completely over the line.

It was ****ing hilarious, lighten up, man :roll:

[ArbitraryWater]

OP seems pretty okay now, no idea why he was such an ignorant retard a year ago

[ImKobe]

Yikes.

How many times did Hakeem lose in the first round again?

[HoopsNY]

Giannis doesn't compare to Hakeem. This thread is an epic fail.

LOL

[Round Mound]

Big Men of today got no low post game whatsoever. The game is so perimeter oriented and defense has been so hand cuffed that big men wan't to play like perimeter players. Even the ones that got no skill to do so. Giannis is pretty talented but he would actually have it challenging to defend big men of the past who actually had a post game. Hakeem, Shaq and Robinson where better and even as athletes. Giannis is in the Ewing and Zo region, which is pretty good.

[FromDowntown]

How many times did Hakeem lose in the first round again?

8x

But still, OP = yikes
