He missed the playoffs in '92, lost to old *** Magic in the first round winning only one game across two series in '91 & '90. From '88 to '92, he lost in the first round every year...He had early success getting to the finals in '86 but once Sampson got injured, the Rockets really were a very mediocre team (that wasn't his fault).
If you want to compare the fast pace 80's where the skill level of guards can't really compare to the skill level of guards today, that's fine. I never said Dream couldn't play lol, I said the idea he's head-and-shoulders above Jokic just isn't true.
His peaks were as high as any big ever, but he had a lot of down moments in his career, it's okay to acknowledge that.
He is a two-way MVP Level player. He dominated on BOTH sides of the ball.
To ME, he is clearly better than Jokic.
Offensively, Jokic is a Wizard.
The same can be said about Dream on BOTH ends of the court.
Olajuwon is the only player in NBA history to record more than 200 blocks and 200 steals in the same season. I think that says a LOT about his talent level.
