whats remarkable though was the Knicks getting to the 94 finals w their best players being Ewing and John Starks...i credit Riley with that run |

Date: October 4th, 2014 9:14 PM Author: Olive sadistic boltzmann idea he suggested comparing their career stats is interesting.
Hakeem blocked more shots. but Shaq's field goal percentage is what truly set him apart. looking at their respective peaks, Shaq averaged more points per game while shooting a significantly higher fg%.
Shaq averaged > 25 ppg 10 times, all consecutively. Hakeem averaged > 25 ppg 4 times, all consecutively.
Shaq averaged over 8 foul shots a game or more 14 times, all consecutively. Hakeem averaged 8 foul shots a game 1 time.
opposition simply had no answer for Shaq and opposing front courts were simply destroyed. |

Date: October 4th, 2014 9:33 PM Author: Stirring walnut mood parlour The series went 7.
Edit: Oh shit. Just dbl checked. I was wrong. It was only 6. |
|
Date: October 4th, 2014 9:24 PM Author: puce corner You can say that, but Hakeem punked them all when it came down to it. Sabonis instead of Kevin Duckworth in Portland for those early 90s runs would have been amazing though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2691994&forum_id=2#26457587) |

Date: October 5th, 2014 12:23 AM Author: excitant background story People are citing field goal percentage? Is this 1995? Google "True Shooting Percentage", my friend. Prime Shaq had a very slight edge in TS% over prime Hakeem. Hakeem was a superior passer and defender.
And if you rank Robinson over Hakeem, you didn't watch basketball in the early/mid-90s. |

|
Date: October 4th, 2014 9:36 PM Author: Stirring walnut mood parlour LOLOL the Rockets were never stacked. They had Vernon Maxwell, Cassell and Thorpe the one year they won. The next they traded Thorpe for Drexler.
There were no dominant teams in those in b/t years w/o MJ. Any team the Bulls beat in the Finals from '92-'98 would have curbstomped the Rockets. |
|
Date: October 4th, 2014 9:49 PM Author: vivacious address dopamine The west as a whole was pretty stacked in those days though.
its crazy to think that Nick Van Exel was the best thing the lake show had going back in the mid-90s. |
