Same thing they said about Bird

Never said he was better than Hakeem on D and I never mentioned Wilt, Kareem or Russell.

Go back and read your posts.

Ok, just read them again. Never said Ewing was better on D than Hakeem and I didn’t bring up the guys from the 60s.

You also responded to posts I made responding to people other than yourself.
A lot of people in this thread have mentioned a lot of big men.

But I haven’t and I’ve specifically named all the players I talked about.

Ewing could not guard Joker outside.

No need to go around Ewing when he can just go through him

You do realize Ewing and Hakeem guarded Shaq right?

You do realize Ewing and Hakeem guarded Shaq right?
Shaq 28.7 PTS / 12.0 REB / 2.6 AST / 3.1 BLK
Ewing 21.4 PTS / 10.8 REB / 1.8 AST / 2.0 BLK
Shaq 24.0 PTS / 12.1 REB / 4.0 AST / 2.2 BLK
Olajuwon 19.7 PTS / 9.2 REB / 2.9 AST / 2.1 BLK
And if they somehow stiffe Jokic on the scoring front, how many assists does he end up with nightly? They aren’t effectively guarding that versatility. It’s just not realistic

Joker is nowhere near as strong, quick or as explosive. At times Shaq would outweigh him by 100lbs. You’re also ignoring Hakeem sweeping Shaq in the finals and dominating that series. Hakeem and Ewing are 9 and 10 years older than Shaq, a lot of those matchups would’ve been long past Ewing and Hakeem’s prime vs Shaq’s peak so there’s obvious context missing. Also Ignoring that a 180lb guy has consistently guarded him in this series or that Zubak, a player with very little skill, dominated him on offense in their last series.

He is not quite on Kareem, Wilt, Hakeem, Shaq or Bill's level...but he is at least approaching them and is in that second five tier with Robinson, Moses, etc. and he is only climbing.
I could make a case he’s as good as Shaq or Hakeem if he ended his career today

Why is it ok to make fun of someone for being white on here? Seema like a double standard to me! Plus the joker is a foraner so not sure if that means he really is white or not.

Peoples favorite phrase to use in these conversations lately is “And it’s not even close” despite it actually being close. Just like “literally” when it’s not really literally.
American English in 2025 is sliding down and nobody is even calling people out on things they say.
