    Very cool. Dream might have been my favorite non-Laker. As time goes on I appreciate his skill level more and more. The footwork, the creativity, the effectiveness. Just brilliant. I think his block was somewhat faked, but I think the shake he put on Vucevic was mostly real. Vucevic isn't much of a defender anyway.

    They were showing some retro games on NBA TV this week. I watched a bit of Rockets vs Clippers 1st round 1993. My GOD did I forget that Hakeem WAS A BEAST.

    The way he moved around the court for a big man......:eek:

    That touch, that strength, the footwork. I was drooling. What a body of work. I remember why I had him in my top 12 GOAT list. He really put together quite the package for a big man.

    I watched this yesterday, it was highly entertaining. Made me think about how much I miss the great big men play of the 90's.
