Magic/Hakeem. Magic is going to make everyone else better, and Dream is no slouch as a C.

Magic>Bird and Hakeem totally smashes Russell, Magic/Hakeem easily. You're getting the GOAT offensive player, Magic, and the GOAT defender, Hakeem, who's no slouch on offense himself.

Bird/Russell.

Don't bet against the GOAT.

Magic , Hakeem. Hakeem played very much like kareem in his prime.

I'd go Magic/Hakeem, personally, though either way you come up Milhouse.

This is one of those moments when you can just get a laugh and enjoy the pure humor. Don't spoil it.

Peak Hakeem was an efficient 26/12/3.5 player who played dominant defense. I don't think it's terribly outlandish to say that he played in a way that was similar to Kareem's impact at all. In style, of course, they couldn't be much MORE different, but in terms of how they impacted a game?

But yeah, aesthetically speaking, they were TOTALLY different.

Magic/Hakeem.

I meant in impact as you can have them being thier defensive anchor and 1st scoring option if need be. Nothing else though , I thought that would be a unsaid given.. Guess not.
