[@jimmycharlotin7050]

Look at that my point exactly every body had their top 5 list

[@jarodjohnson4357]

[@nukeystik]

Shaq n Hakeem were not better den Wilt. Shaq for all his dominance was a dunker n shot blocker. No real footwork or jump shot. All these guys could easily outplay him

[@franagustin3094]

And jokic? He deserved 4 mvps

[@jimmiechambers425]

Hakeem is without question #1, that's my story.

[@ITZJUSTJZ]

Hakeem over wilt?

[@musgrove95037]

Mostly well-reasoned, but you at least have to talk about Joker taking over Hakeem's #5 spot on this list. What else he gotta do for ya first?

[@docholiday1463]

Win

[@ruyi6971]

Why should Jokic take the number 5 spot? Hakeem is a way better player then Joker. Hakeem was overshadowed and many people didn’t even know that he was the 1st pick in 1984

[@musgrove95037]

@@ruyi6971 You make a good argument. Hakeem was ill-served being on the Rockets (and Raptors). But please note that I didn't say *necessarily* that Jokic should take his spot -- I said he should be in the *conversation.* And I stand by that. I think the main argument would be how you define "better player". For example, if it includes making ridiculous eyes-in-the-back-of-his-head passes and making everyone around you better, I think J has an edge on that. But H was way more athletic and was like Shaq-before-Shaq -- a wonder to behold. So, interesting debate. Let's see what Joker does to wind out his career, then revisit. ;)

Hakeem made Ewing look like a scrub in the finals. Hakeem was the reason Houston beat the Knicks
