When I got to see Kareem play he was towards the latter part of his career. He was still very effective as an older player but it's incredible to see how quick and active he was in his prime. I love Kareem, it's sad that many people don't recognize how great he was.

I also love Jabbar . You mentioned this game when he was in his prime . He was in his prime at this time of his career but after the dispensing with the Warriors here , they move on to the Western Conference Finals . In the only time of his career that I've ever seen , Bill Walton absolutely destroyed Kareem in that series. Walton basically scored at will and Jabbar was unable to stop him . Walton also racked up assists like crazy , like he was on top of the building ,or he was in the attic with a glass ceiling and just popped the ball to the hottest on their way to the basket. On the other end of the court , Walton boxed Jabbar out , and cleaned glass all game long and blocked several of Kareem's shot including a few sky hooks ( remember those ? ) Jabbar later said that he felt so bad that he went to work as soon as their season was over , and worked like a dog every off season vowing never to be dominated like that again by anyone and he was never out played thru a series like that ever again . Waltons condition never allowed him to return to that level of play again , robbing all of us of that rematch that never material used , but it's safe to say no Center ever kicked Jabbar ass like that before or since. The Big Captain . The Lakers had a play that Pat Riley would just show the back of his hand to the court , double up his hand into a fist , and pull it downward. That simply meant , get the ball inside to Jabbar and let him do the rest. And he always did !

I wish there was more footage of Kareem as a Laker from the mid to late 70s, especially complete regular season games (if any still exist). I only got to see the gradually balding 80s Kareem with the Showtime-era Lakers, not the single dominant force that helped get the Lakers back into the playoff picture during the latter half of the 70s. It's also kinda sad that management didn't hold onto Gail Goodrich for one more season because him and Kareem could've given Bill Walton's Trailblazers a much tougher battle in the postseason back in '77. Then again, they most likely wouldn't have ended up getting Magic Johnson had they done that (hah). Btw, Rick Barry is 100% BADASS!!! Best white boy player in the NBA at that time until Larry Bird finally came on the scene the following decade. Even to this day, I always think of him as the true face of the Warriors franchise. Oh, and that Parish kid ain't too shabby either. Probably would look even better in green and white, lol... XD

I agree that Kareem was the greatest, most dominant, and most skilled center of them all. Wilt was stronger and more dominant defensively and as a rebounder, but he lacked Kareem´s hand-eye coordination (watch him shoot free throws, to the detriment of his team!) and court vision; Kareem was also superior in terms of variety of shots and passing. That said, Wilt, like Russell, would simply crush someone like Dwight Howard. I´d have to put Hakeem ahead of Shaq--a far more skilled player.

But .... Kareem lacked Russell's and Wilt's desire to take of the boards and thus, allow his teammates to concentrate on what wing players usually excelled at (scoring, passing, defense). Kareem's lack of rebounding lowers him, in my mind, behind Russell and Chamberlain. Few complaints otherwise, though.

Actually, Ford was flipped for what would turn out to be the top pick in the 1982 draft (James Worthy, woo-hoo!). Cavs management was never that bright even then, lol. And you can thank the late Dr. Buss for landing Magic because West was originally going to settle for Sidney Moncrief with that No. 1 pick before finally being overruled by the owner himself at the last minute. I would've been fine with either one, truth be told. Moncrief would go on to become one of the finest two-way players in NBA history and probably would've kept Nixon in Laker colors for the long haul had he been drafted instead. Still, when one has a chance to net a once-in-a-lifetime talent like Magic for instance well...YOU JUST GOTTA GO FOR IT!!! ;-D

Kareem was a Black Belt in Kenpo trained by his close friend, Bruce Lee. Kareem's other martial arts included the disciplines such as jujitsu, escrima, and silat. The man was always double-teamed. He would adapt, but today's teams would have to adapt to him also. The 3pt average in the NBA is around 35%. Kareem lifetime shooting ave was 55.9% however in his prime he had years of hitting 57/58/59/60%. (21 Triple Doubles)...and you think he couldn't play today? In today's NBA game, a teammate would get the ball to him, two players would drop down, and Kareem, a talented passer, would hit the open man...or just toss a 12-16 foot Sky-Hook or hit a jump-shot. I could go on...but start researching by hearing what his peers say...

@@vlssk857 Old enough to see him play, when he was playing. And my comment stands!!!! His Black Belt would likely not have had him hitting 40% of 3's. His 55.9% would not be as important because Kareem would only have about 10 shots of the 14 foot sky hook. Cooper or Scott would be launching more 3s in today's game. I loved the post up game, that was basketball over the 3 and D stuff today. Kareem wouldn't be the only great player to have their game nerfed if the center didn't shoot 3's. Ewing, Parrish, Hakeem, Robinson, and the like would need to shoot 3's to be 30 point scorers. And....that is the bottom line.

I agree with that, but I feel like if Shaq or Wilt had went up against a good defender with there strength, they could get locked down, because they wouldn't be able to outmuscle there way to the rim, Hakeem on the other hand could score on anybody, Shaq even said he was his toughest opponent. I agree though, their dominance makes it hard to out rank them. Especially seeing as Shaq was such a great offensive rebounder, his second chance points are a huge contribution to any team

I say Hakeem because He's the most offensively talented out of the 3, Shaq & Wilt were mainly power & dominance but Hakeem had some of the most scoring skill we've seen in a C probably of all time. And could stripe the mid range J. And he was a great defender too, could defend the post & also 3s out on the perimeter if he needed too & his all time blocks record speaks for his shot blocking ability, he was also a great rebounder. He had the full package. Wilt & Shaq were too 1 dimensional

Continued: Shaq himself said he was playing football out there--just a 350 pound bull with relatively quick feet--dominant, yes, but no shots other than power jams and little dink shots close to the basket. An absolute disaster shooting free throws. Russell, if playing today, would have a lot of Amare Stoudamire´s offensive game, and who in today´s game could hang with him? David Robinson did not have the will to win that all the great ones have. Or is it simply a measure of Hakeem´s greatness

I guess. And I have read the same height listings as you mentioned. Looks like Jordan's "official" listing is with shoes on. That would make him about 6'6 (w/shoes). I read the Oscar listing, too. West said he was 6'4 and 1/4. Pete Maravich listed usually at 6'5, said on a clip here somewhere, he was 6'5 and 1/4, making him at least 6'6 in shoes. I read in the combine (collegiate draft), a few years back, Ben Gordon was measured at 6'1 and 1/2. He was often listed at 6'3. So, it seems that players years ago, were listed at their true height w/o shoes and more recently, they're listed at a height w/shoes included.
