Anyone that doesn't think Luka would do this to Hakeem doesn't know basketball:
Since rim-protecting bigs can be brought away from the rim and nullified, they're often obsolete in today's format,.. With bigs out of the equation, MJ is the greatest defender ever by virtue of transferring over eras better.
Btw, there's a drop-step poster on Hakeem from 89' or 90' that I can't find but it's the coldest one yet.. Will post when I come across it

Re: MJ dunks over Hakeem
Hakeem foot quickness was that of someone 6'5
Rudy has the foot quickness of a 40 year old Tim Duncan.
Quite a difference. I'm sure Luka would score on Hakeem, it's an offensive game afterall. But he wouldn't embarrass Hakeem.

Yes and the reduction of Hakeem from being away from the rim and getting embarrassed by Luka, Lillard, MJ, Kobe, McGrady, Lebron and company would significantly reduce Hakeem's impact in the current era vs prior eras... this is intuitive.. accordingly, with bigs out of the "best defender ever" argument, that leaves MJ as the best candidate for goat defender.

Not at all. It wouldn't surprise me if he was a Draymond Green type switch defender. Considering Draymond is the best defender of this era in my opinion, Hakeem would still be in the running for best defender.

Re: MJ dunks over Hakeem
Yeah he was freaky. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he were just a 6'10 or whatever he was version of Draymond on defense. That's like a 5x DPOY in today's league.
Like Rudy if you added an elite ability to switch into guards.

You obviously never played, so you have no clue what you're talking about.. Hakeem never guarded anyone on the perimeter but it would be considered a big mismatch like anyone else if he ever did... Even guys like KG and AD are considered at a disadvantage on the perimeter against pretty much anyone, let alone a bigger and less springier body-type like Hakeem... He's like molasses on the perimeter tbh

Hakeem’s 2 titles were the most impressive of the 1990’s.

hakeem's THIRD option did this:
FINALS
95' Horry...... 19.0 gamescore... 18/10/4/3/2 on 57 TS
92' Pippen.... 18.1 gamescore.... 21/8/7/2/1 on 56 TS
91' Pippen.... 17.5 gamescore.... 21/9/7/2/1 on 53 TS
93' Pippen.... 15.6 gamescore.... 20/9/8/2/1 on 46 TS
97' Pippen.... 15.1 gamescore.... 20/8/3/2/2 on 54 TS
96' Pippen.... 13.4 gamescore.... 16/7/5/2/1 on 43 TS
98' Pippen.... 13.0 gamescore.... 16/8/5/2/1 on 50 TS
So no
And based on PER, WS/48, VORP and BPM, the gap between Hakeem and his 2nd option in 1994 was much smaller than the gap between MJ and his 2nd option in 1993 Playoffs and Finals...
The 94' Rockets had rich man's version of all the Bulls' players... Kenny Smith, Maxwell and Thorpe were Jeff Bezos' version of Paxson, BJ and Horace, while Sam Cassell and Horry had equal or greater ceiling on the offensive end as Pippen.. They had a better roster top to bottom, which is why Hakeem didn't have to produce like MJ to win.

I feel like we’ve in live time just been through the process of a dude who has just jerked off.
This is odd.
