Re: Hakeem Olajuwon vs. Kobe Bryant
I'd honestly prefer The Dream, not only was he one of the best post players of all time. Arguably the greatest. But also a defensive anchor that you could build your team around.

I'm not sure but one thing I am sure of is that I would take both of those two over LeBron.

Kobe's replaceable...you'd be hard-pressed replacing Olajuwon.

1994 and 1995 Hakeem >>> 2009 and 2010 Kobe. Hakeem won an NBA title with a weak supporting casts in 1994.

I would too, but was it even necessary to bring up LeBron? Originally Posted by StateOfMind12

Re: Hakeem Olajuwon vs. Kobe Bryant
Plus a franchise center in today's league is very rare. Dwight and maybe Bynum are the only centers you can build around.

Re: Hakeem Olajuwon vs. Kobe Bryant
Prime Hakeem is also a top 5 best defender in NBA history. He's one of the league leaders in steals and blocks per game.

Re: Hakeem Olajuwon vs. Kobe Bryant
I think something that's forgotten about Hakeem is how ball dominant he was. He completely controlled the offense on his championship teams, and didn't play that well with other all stars other then Drexler.
That doesn't mean he was better then Kobe, I don't really think he was (Peak vs Peak, Kobe might be, but not career wise) but it's something that people forget about Hakeem. He isn't exactly the ideal player to build a dominant offense around.
