Hakeem Olajuwon: perfect blend of power and finesse.

My personal favorite player of all time. He made his first trip to the Finals in 1986 and if Ralph Sampson didn't get hurt they could've won more.

Olajuwon was the most complete Center of all time. The best foot work ever seen, the likes of the great Kobe Bryant, Lebron, D. Howard, Stoudemire all flew down to train and learn from him. Greatest defender of all time can truly guard 1-5. To this day he’s underrated, the era that the Dream played in was the toughest for centers. He dominated hall of fame centers and won back to back during that time. the true GOAT of centers🤌

Lots of great plays, but a missed opportunity to show more footage we haven't seen before or might have seen like the infamous dunk on Ewing in 1991 at the garden, the putback over Robinson in 92-93, the first quadruple double against the Warriors in 1990 before it was taken away etc etc.

This is why he was ranked a top 12 player via ESPN. People ask if the Rockets should have drafted Jordan instead and I disagree. 2 championships and a alltime great. Not to mention why he means to the city.

Yeah he was the most skilled big man of all time and also the best defensive player ever. There's no way you would draft anyone else back then. No one could've predicted Jordan killer instinct at that early an age.

Ranking Olajuwon 12 is criminal, Olajuwon dominated everybody including going 11-5 against Jordan for 9 seasons. Olajuwon is the goat
@noshowjoe65964 жыл бұрын
Placing Hakeem at #12 was a bit insulting I thought. It makes no sense. . ESPN should of took into account the fact that Hakeem became the best player in the NBA during MJ's short baseball career. Winning two rings,MVP and Finals MVP. One could argue that Hakeem was the 2nd best player in the NBA during the Jordan era. Most people consider MJ to be the undisputed GREATEST OF ALL TIME. If this is true. How can Hakeem be #12 of all time? He was the 2md best player during the MJ era. the guy should of been in the top 5. Definitely top 10
