    I know shaq gives off the persona of the "big happy fella", but Kobe wasn't the first superstar he couldn't get along with.....I remember him having trouble with Penny and Brian Hill when he was in Orlando.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">and wilt is a selfish person by your facts, not basketball player. shaq isnt even better, on or off the court.</div>Wilt is the only player in NBA history to brag on sleep with over 100,000 women. Shaq has NEVER been caught up in anything off the court, and is going to be a cop when he retires so he can help the law. Shaq sacrificed his stats for the team, which ultimatley lead to a 4th ring. Wilt argued with the stats guy in between a game at halftime because he thought he had more points. Selfish? Do ur homework first before makin blanket statements[​IMG]

    Actually Shaq bragged about having sex with Cindy Crawford, Aalyiah, and couple of other females on a Los Angeles radio show a few years back.

    I've seen Hakeem play in person and he doesn't have the egotism that shaq has or even the goofy attitude taht everyone loves, but he has that respectful humbleness that Dwayne Wade is beloved over. The definition of the next MJ is someone who changes the way the game is played and impacts the game like no other. We are still searching? We might have found him in 2003 in Wade or Lebron, but we have yet to find the next Hakeem. Hakeem impacted the Center position in the league like no other big man has. Where is the next Hakeem? Closest versatile centers to hakeem reside in Phoenix and Houston. (Amare and Yao)

    To others maybe, but Wilt said this on national t.v., and it was 100,000. What a great role model[​IMG]

    Shaq is speculated to have said this, among friends. Wilt bragged on sleeping with 100,000 women, and actually CONFIRMED it. No comparison. Advantage Diesel

    <font color=""Red"">Edited- Stop going off topic. This thread is related to Hakeem, do not bring irrevelant comments into this about Kobe, Wade, Lebron, etc. [AznxBaller]</font>

    How the heck do you manage to fit kobe into an Hakeem thread? Lets stick to Hakeem. And for the guy who said something about wade, post it in 1 of the "Wade is good but Kobe is the Best threads."

    Nothin makes sense when ur in denial


    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheDream:</div><div class="quote_post">To be honest I think is a case where the veteran could actually learn something from the younger players.</div>
    Kobe has 3rings and is the best of the best.....what can any of the these young fellas possible teach him. Even Lebron said Kobe is the best. Atleast, me & Lebron agree on that.

    ....... hahaha We gonna go thru this again? Yall get shut out on the offical threads where we talk about that topic, but rather than admit defeat you come on to a different thread and try to slip in a quick plug.

    haha in denial?? The next Kobe?? Wade and Lebron in their 3rd year are already better than Kobe-- what are you referring to ? <u> You convince us how they're not.</u>.

    Kobe has 3 championships? He also played with Shaq for 8 years in his prime opposed to Dwyane Wade for 2 in his declining years.

    The next Jordan? The next Kobe? .. Here's Kobe at a slow crawl on a pace to need around 20 years just to break even with Jordan's 11 year Bull's numbers let alone his impact; and you're telling us that Wade and Lebron need to focus on being the next Kobe right? -- So they must be at a way slower career pace them Kobe himself?? Forget about Wade winning the ship and Finals' MVP in his 3rd year, and Lebron setting records and having an all around game Kobe will never have. huh forget all that stuff--- they'll probably need at least 15 years to come even close to catching up to Kobe; and thats being lucky huh Rock?

    ^^^lol, I have to agree....I mean D-Wade won with an over the hill Shaq, imagine what he would've accomplished on those Laker teams.....and Lebron at this stage does a lot of things better than kobe (rebounding, passing the ball, trusting teammates,etc.)

    How? He led his team to the finals in Orlando, and along with Kobe took the Lakers to 3 rings. Selfish players don't win 3 rings.

    Wilt has 2 rings!!! since selfish players dont win 3 rings, and you say that wilt was very selfish and shaq wasnt at all. 1 ring difference is pretty much not even a factor.
