Hakeem won two rings in the weakest era of basketball (90s without Jordan) and would likely be ringless if Jordan never retired.
Plus he won a ring as a 6 seed (which people see as a good thing for some reason) making his championship team one of the worst in history (again, in the weakest era of basketball).

Paint chips aren’t edible.
yes
This might be the dumbest post I’ve seen all off-season.
Congrats 👍
Lol have you seen the posts that have been on here? This doesn’t even crack the top 25
This is the reason the phrase “There’s no such thing as a stupid question” isn’t accurate.
The amount of legacy and comparison posts lately is crazy.
No he is not even close in any category other than rings and winning a 2nd is no guarantee.
You are aware that hakeem went to finals in mid 80’s and lost to one of the greatest teams ever in the ‘86 Celtics?
He’s not a by product of a weak era. He peaked at right time but plays great in any era. ‘95 Orlando was pretty good too.
Who tf thinks the mid 90s was weak?
Bulls, Rockets, Jazz, Blazers, Sonics, Knicks, Suns, Magic and Pacers were all stacked as shit teams.
All those who said no did not watch Hakeem. He’s like Kevon Looney with Brook Lopez offense.
Giannis is Better.
Best team giannis has beaten in his playoff career are the kyrie celtics lol. Hakeem has beaten like 15 to 25 teams better than that.
Hell no.
Giannis is allowed to do things Hakeem wasn’t and still isn’t better. Not from a post, rebounding, or footwork, or passing perspective.
huge giannis fan. no.
Put the accolades and numbers aside (which all favor Dream anyway), Hakeem dominated an era full of HoF big men: Ewing, Admiral, Shaq etc while Giannis hasn’t even separated himself from Jokic
No
With that logic does that mean MJ also played against the weakest era in basketball?
No. Giannis needs another ring to be in the convo. Even then I would still rank Hakeem above.
Hakeem was better on both sides of the court come playoff time, giannis stans are nuts
