Hakeem and LBJ outside of 3 of his 4 years in Miami.
However LBJ had a great team for 3 of the 4 years and Hakeem had a great team in the 80's. He did however have jack sh*t for most of the 90's although the lack of name talent during his championships did produce for him. Its not always about names, but more about production.

Are you talking about just the championship years? Hakeem started his career on a pretty stacked team that made the finals right away. Later in his career, he played with Drexler, Barkley, and Pippen.

GOAT candidates?
Then Kareem had the most help. Imagine playing with another top 5 player.

Stop mentioning bran and kobe. Those 2 aren't goat material.

Don't agree with Duncan being way down there, he's generally had a weaker 2-3rd option - which is what most people use I guess - but he's been on great teams basically his whole career. Originally Posted by OldSchoolBBall
