Something that doesn’t get enough coverage in regards to NBA history, is a match-up between two of the relatively under appreciated superstars, Tim Duncan & Hakeem Olajuwon.
Both won their titles in amongst the era’s cultural superstars of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Both play with the some of the best fundamentals in NBA history and both operated with a rare combination of intellect and zen.
Their primes were so close, yet so far from one another. Olajuwon’s best years were the mid 90’s and Duncan’s, the mid 00’s.
In your opinion, who’s coming out on top?
