Bear with me, Kareem was obviously the better all around player, but a writer in the Dallas Morning News brought these two up today and a discussion I had with a few friends this morning at the gym got me thinking...In their primes, whose shot would you take?

Edit- Or would you take the Dream Shake?

I feel like they're similar in several ways, but they're obviously different. Both shots seem to be unguardable.

The Dream Shake, no question. Although Dirk's series of fakes and fades is a close second.

Hakeem wasn't an option. Just Kareem. However, the dream shake's a good one to look at, too.

I totally misread that. Either way I still take Hakeem.

I gotcha covered.

Give me the Kareem sky hook.

Can we stop constantly comparing Dirk to the top 10 greatest players of all-time? How about Dirk's high post game vs Gervin's finger roll? How about Dirk's fadeaway vs Chris Bosh's 20 foot wide open jumper? Yeah Dirk is so much ****ing better than Bosh

How about Dirk's fadeaway vs. Karl Malone knee to the defender's nuts shot or elbow to face shot?

I'll take Jordan's dunk. 80% of the time, it works every time.

InternetFan, I'm only comparing Dirk's shot to antoher shot. I think it's a fair point. As I said, I'm not comparing Dirk's all around game to Kareems. That'd be stupid.

Wilt's 20,000 or A.C. Green's 0?

Michael Jordan fade away
