Cedric Maxwell: "I say the best player I ever played with wasn't Larry. But I played my last year, I played with Hakeem Olajuwon. I think Hakeem Olajuwon was maybe the greatest player of all-time that nobody talks about, because he dominated the floor better than anybody on both ends as ever.

One of the best all around big man ever if not the best.He is probably a more rare talent at Center than Bird at SF/PF. Not sure rarity makes you better.

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
Maxwell already took an undeserved FMVP over Bird, why does he have to go and say something like this? Nobody has Hakeem over Bird on their all time lists, so this just seems like he is being an instigator. We know he didn't like being traded for Walton, was Bird partially to blame for this or something?
