As a teenager it shifted a bit and I was completely on board with the Rockets solely because of Olajuwon. I loved going to school after the finals with the Magic when Hakeem dominated Shaq. Nothing like I told ya so. Shaq had so many nut huggers and it was refreshing seeing the pure skill and court iq of Olajuwon triumph over the size of Shaq. Ewing was a monster too with fantastic skills but not on the level of Olajuwon. I think Hakeem is one of the most underrated in the game. He gets his props from knowledgeable bball fans but I often see him left off starting 5 lists and I find that crazy.

He always accepts responsibility for his team's loss.

Incredible video. Hakeem is Top 5 of all time - he was truly a one man wrecking crew. If Michael Jordan never existed, think about how dominant he would have been throughout the 90's. I think we'd be talking about a Houston dynasty that rivals anything we've seen in basketball.

This was awesome! I was there due to the fact that my brother Tim Breaux played on those Championship teams. Great times is all I can say!

Yo Tim Breaux had crazy athleticism man. I thought he could've been a starter for most teams but he seemed to lack ball handling skills
@garrickbreaux2368 Жыл бұрын
@Hakeem Olajuwon I appreciate you remembering my brother, but he wasn't lacking ball handling skills. Ruddy Tom designed a play for Tim called Iso 15. That means he had to take an apponnent off the dribble to get to the cup. He was good at everything. he just was on the wrong team that had too many all stars

Wasn't he undrafted? I remember him getting caught up in the Pete Chillcut trade to Vancouver or something like that. Did he get a ring?

@R L Yes, sir, that's exactly what happened. Traded to Vancouver.

Going to UofH at that time you would be walking to class and Drexler, Young, Olajuwon, would be going somewhere on camus, (they were always together) and they were the most humble and just nice guys ever. Always said hi, how you doing. It was a special time.

He never gets mentioned with the all-time great players and he definitely should. After Kareem Olajuwon is the greatest center to play the game.

Hakeem Olajuwon was an amazing player. He was dominant on both sides of the ball. A legend in the game.

MJ better be lucky he didn't faced the dream in the Finals, or he gets beaten by him.

Dream was so cold Kobe, Bron, guards and forwards went to get better footwork and learn post moves from a center. That’s greatness. I remember the Rockets gave MJ Bulls hell. You can make an argument Houston had their number, I hate we never got that finals. I think Houston beats them in 7 games.
