Dream
Shaq
Wilt


no particular order, IMHO. All 3 were so great it's tough to differentiate.

I automatically assume they will include the Rockets titles, so I don't think i will read it cause I don't want to get pissed off

Entertaining read, but my favorite part of it was him linking this YouTube highlight clip of all of Hakeem's scoring moves, which I'd never seen before:

Ri-dick-u-lus.

Everyone likes to talk about Kobe's footwork, but Hakeem's might have been better IMO.

This is Simmons at his best. He knows the NBA very well.

My bad bro....just getting back to this :

Hard to rank centers that didn't play head to head but I'd say : Wilt
Russell
Hakeem
Shaq
Kareem

but you could swap 'em around based on different criteria

'94 & '95

Jordan wasn't in the league



1994 yes but I think the Bulls would have fallen short in '95 even with an in-form Jordan. They badly missed Horace Grant's interior presence that year. I just don't see how they would have been able to contain Hakeem without a great defensive big on their team.

Its a shame that Kings team never won anything, they were VERY good.



yep. they were so much fun to watch and they had the loudest fans in the NBA during that time. i went up there a few times for some games and those fans were freaking awesome.

I felt bad for them in 03. If webber doesn't get injured they win the title that year

That was similar to Roses ACL.

That was honestly the hardest injury I have ever had to watch with my eyes. I was and still am an avid kings fan. I remember being in 8th grade seeing that and literally almost being reduced to tears. We had one robbed from us the year before and we were going to take it back the next year. That one still stings.

And I think the kings knew it at that moment. 2 championships that should have been one.

I'd love to see an NBA tv show like the NFL has about SB winners. They had one called the lost rings..I'd love to see that one for the NBA.

'87 Celtics
'02-'03 Kings
'09-'10 Celtics
All of Ewings Knicks teams
'04 Lakers
all of Nash' suns teams
'82 Celtics
'86 lakers

Could go on and on
