himself up from blocks. He is also stronger cause he uses his technique better. MJ was a walking tree out there his last few
years who was good at batting down balls cause of his height and he was a decent run stopper.
I see no reason Kareem could not be better than MJ except for who is in front of him. Dunlap, Hubbard, Lawson is a strong
front to break into but with Lawson's injury history and Dunlap getting up there in age it isn't impossible. What is great about
Hubbard is his versatility and the way he uses his hands. The strength of Kareem is how he uses his hands.
As I said, if he becomes more than a Ramondo Stallings-type player, it'll be gravy. But as you mentioned, with the guys in front of him for the next 3-5 years, I don't see how he'll become better than a poor-man's MJ, from a production standpoint; I've seen little tape on Kareem, so anything I project or talk about in terms of stats or team value, is solely based on production and not on tape (thus, I wasn't sure of his hands or bend, my apologies!).
