So did David Robinson. I had always considered David Robinson the better athlete when I watched them in the 90's. Robinson was right with Hakeem as far as speed, quickness, leaping ability and strength. Hakeem had more agility and coordination, probably significantly so.

D ROb was more athletic than Hakeem. Not by much, but he still had more hops and was faster down the court.
