When ESPN recently announced its top 74 players of all-time, Hakeem Olajuwon was ranked 12th. Paul Pierce believes that placement is too low.

With the NBA now officially in its ninth week of not having live games, debates on the merits and rankings of players have never been louder. ESPN recently weighed in on the top 74 players of all time in honor of the league’s 74th year of existence. In the list, they ranked Houston Rockets legend Hakeem Olajuwon 12th, just behind Oscar Robertson and Shaquille O’Neal.
