I totally agree. Also if you using the 87 Lakers this was Kareem's 2nd to his last year before retiring in 88. In 87, Kareem averaged 17.5 points per game. He was obliviously on his way down and not in his prime anymore but still a force to be reckoned with . However, if you are using Kareem on the 71 Bucks, Kareem averaged 31 points per game and was playing some of his best basketball then.

Hakeem was in his prime during the 94 and 95 seasons. Hakeem averaged 27 points per game during those two seasons. Granted Hakeem had to do more since he was the lone superstar on his team in 94 but Drexler did come along in 95, but still.

Kareem IMO was better in his prime than Hakeem was in his prime. I think Hakeem would be more fun to play with than Kareem but I think the 87 Lakers may be more fun to use than the 94 Rockets, but would rather use the 94 Rockets than the 71 Bucks(if that makes any sense).
