That's almost like saying, had he shot, only, 55% from the field, he'd have been less dominant.

No matter what, he couldn't have been more dominant in the '90s.

He might be the most prolific scorer, other than Jordan, to play in the '90s. 

He might have been the most prolific player, other than Jordan, to play in the '90s.

Only if he would have shot 70% from the free throw line, though!  (sarcasm)

2. HAKEEM OLAJUWON

He was unstoppable.

That turnaround jumpshot he developed was unstoppable.

That spin move he incorporated into his game, along the baseline, was unstoppable.

When he was on defense, everyone else was stoppable.

He was the cleaner.

He cleaned up everyone else's mess.

He's the all time career leader in blocked shots.

He's 11th all time in rebounds.

And, he's 7th all time in points scored.

When talking about ultimate game changers of the 1990s, Hakeem Olajuwon should be one of the first names spoken out of your mouth.

It's that simple.

Numbers are nice, but the fact that you can change a game before you even step foot on the court is the ultimate test as to how good of a player you are.

With that being said, we all know who number 1 is.

1. MICHAEL JORDAN

The best.  Ever.  And ever.
