The fluidity of Hakeem is unmatched. Even at almost 50 years old here, his moves are so much snappier and sluid than a young LeBron. Just goes to show Hakeem's speed of thought. He already had his move and counters thought out before the ball even touched his hand, so as soon as he gets the ball, he's already putting you in the blender.

I have said that since they played against each other. Everyone always puts shaq over hakeem in all time rankings, but every time they played against each other he would take it to shaq. I mean he would absolutely dominate shaq at times, even in the finals. Who honestly thinks that shaq could have taken that rockets team to back to back titles? I mean for real. If shaq hadn't had so much help from the refs, played with penny, kobe, and d-wade, he wouldnt have near the titles or numbers. Hakeem didn't have to have an all time great wing to win a title. He did it with a bunch of role players
@josephjohnroe36785 жыл бұрын
He didn't "own" Shaq lol. Their numbers were almost identical in the 95 finals. 32&11 to 28&13. Tue difference was the supporting cast. Houston's showed up, Orlando's didn't. People like to remember 94 & 95, but forget all the years he came up short. He did win a title without another all star, but they were also playing the Knicks, who had one star as well. And please don't give me Charles Oakley was an All Star that year. He put 11 points a night and was only on the All Star team because the East was absolutely dreadful at PF.

His style is basic gamesmanship. He is hitting you with a 50/50 is he going to fake or no. Then with his finesse he can throw in multiple pivots and hit you with that same 50/50 three times. If you bite in one of them he will score. That's why I love Hakeem, he is a pure skill player and dominated his contemporaries (who were the best centers ever) with the talent he had between his ears rather than in his legs

I remember hearing about this in the offseason after Miami got embarrassed in the Finals Vs. The Mavs. I thought this spoke volumes about how serious Lebron was about winning titles. No ego, just seeking out an all-time great to add another dimension to his game. Just had this feeling he was about to take it to another level and start winning rings. Sure enough, 3 of the next 5 NBA titles. Had Kyrie and Kevin Love not gotten hurt in 2015, it would have been 4 out of 5.

if u watch carefully, lebron is actually paying a lot of attention to what hakeem is telling him. compare this training session to dwight's and you'll see how dwight wasn't really listening and didn't humble himself like lebron is doing here. thats the difference between the goods and the greats. the greats are always willing to put aside their pride and learn.

At this very moment I am watching the Lakers @ Boston on TNT. It's only the first quarter and I've seen Lebron use Hakeem's post up baseline move two times. The first time he kept the ball and scored on a reverse layup. The 2nd time he recognized the defense and made a pass along the baseline to the coffin corner which resulted in an assist on a made 3-point shot. Lebron, one of the greatest students of the game, continues to utilize lessons he learned from the Master, Hakeem Olajuwon!
@ATLienForLife4 жыл бұрын
Just got through watching Lakers at New Orleans, Sunday March 1st. Once again I could see LBJ using the "signature" moves that he learned from Hakeem. Of course, he didn't do it EVERYTIME he posted up. But there were specific times down the court where I could easily say "That's one that he learned from Hakeem." It's a signature flow of motion that is clearly visible. And in this game LBJ was killing people. I saw him use a couple of moves AND some of the counter moves that Hakeem was demonstrating in the video. And while his footwork was no match, he was extremely effective! He even did it a couple against Zion, one on the baseline and another one in the paint. The young man couldn't do anything about it. At least not on those occasions. As a huge fan of Hakeem, it was a beautiful thing to see.
