give me kobe and hakeem


why?

because theyre the only 2 guys who had top 20 all time great careers and managed to win a title without a second hall of famer and not even a top 100 player all time as their best side kick


kobe did it twice in 09 and 10. hakeem did it in 94


compare cassell and gasol to the running mates guys like jordan, wilt, shaq, oscar, kareem, magic, bird all had


that means kobe and hakeem are the 2 best at their best

which of the two is your pick then?

[kennethgriffin]

which of the two is your pick then?

hakeem i guess... only cause i know me voting for kobe would be a waste of time with the clowns on ISH.. would be like throwing my vote away lol

Kobe is at 1 and Hakeem is at 2 without your vote, they're tied at 2 each with your vote (if you vote Hakeem it's 1 vs 3)

if you want to vote for Kobe you should pick him, since for these threads votes carry over, so a guy can't lose votes

[KOBE143]

hakeem i guess... only cause i know me voting for kobe would be a waste of time with the clowns on ISH.. would be like throwing my vote away lol

this

I also want to vote Kobe but too many Kobe haters here and I know he will not get into the top 5 becoz of them.. So I vote Hakeem instead..

[AK47DR91]

Larry Bird, '84 to '88

[IGotACoolStory]

Wilt

[ScalabrineStan]

Hakeem

if you guys want Kobe, let me know and I'll put you down for him

all votes carry over from previous polls for guys not voted in, so you won't be throwing your votes away

Larry Bird, '84 to '88

I put down Bird from 84 to 87 since that was the time span people went with in the 1st thread

are you fine with that, or do you think 88 was part of his peak? if so, hopefully someone from the other thread can chime in for the purpose of this discussion
