Hakeem Olajuwon. One of the best centers in NBA history!

[@USMCTexan]

THE best, he led the league in so many categories, and embarrassed the MVP David Robinson

Most skilled center of all time. Imo the greatest center of all time. Could make his free throws, had mid range, great defender, great rebounder and the best footwork of any big man.

Hakeem Olajuwan is the big man version of Jordan. An unbelievable offensive weapon while being a nonpareil defensive player. And Clyde Drexler is the most underrated Superstar in NBA history IMO.

[@rodbenjamin9909]

Offensive & Defensively homie

[@TylerHingleton]

Both are some of the greatest two-way players regardless of position. Hakeem has the edge defensively, cuz it was also his duty to rebound while patrolling the painted area, and so rare that he could come out and defend one-on-one or help on the perimeter

[@johannesbauer7940]

And Hakeem was a far better player than LeBron and Shaq.. just watch the team he won with ..

[@loviebrownlow6983]

Clyde was the real deal !!!! He just didn't chase I bright lights

I don't remember the first championship Houston won but i remember this one vividly seeing my father ecstatic my mom and uncle's screaming neighbor's outside screaming as well it was a great night to be from Houston i will hold that memory for life

[@DUKEOFSOUNDS]

I also remember clearly. Shaq was my dude . I was 16 and was confident that Orlando would win . Was obsessed to the point my nickname became " SHAQ 😂 . You guys gave us a whooping and will " also" never forget 😂😆🤨😪. Memories hey 😂

[@deathminder9206]

I remember because I was watching game 7 from my bed while dealing with a sever case of food poisoning. I could only make it so far, I passed out when Kenny banked in his 3, I knew we were going to win after that.

[@Ozzy1322]

The 1993-1994 and 1994-1995 Houston Rockets are on the most inspirational teams in sports history. You've got probably one of the best Center ever with Hakeem and bunch of great role players who have stepped up in bigger occasions constantly. Also, Rudy Tomjanovich is one of the greatest figures and coaching characters in NBA history, so underrated 💯

[@tomswill9189]

Ppl don't give Coach Rudy enough credit. But he was a great Coach. That his players respected.

[@iznal]

Especially compared to the Magic coach during those time outs. Guy said absolutely nothing of substance. Rudy giving Braveheart speeches and shit.

[@StayAKTV]

Born & raised in Houston, and no disrespect to Rudy, he was a great motivating coach and he knew how to rile the team up. But as a coaching mind and creating offensive opportunities?? compared to other coaches (phil jackson), he was LIGHT YEARS behind. The Rockets only strategy even after Drexler arrived was to throw it down to Hakeem and let him work or kick it out for a 3 when double teamed. This strategy definitely WORE OUT Hakeem during the championship runs, all while Jordan got 2 years of rest. You can tell by the significant decline in Hakeem’s production from the 95 season to 96 season.

this entire decade and era was both amazing and painful and frustrating for fans of other strong teams that were contenders and mainstays in the playoffs like the knicks, the pacers and the utah jazz with stockton and malone. all of these teams pretty much could have been dominant and won repeating back to back championships or 2 in 4 or 3 in 5 or anything like that if jordan and the bulls werent like a supernatural entity during that time that just would not let go and lose. i was a kid and i wasnt even super in love with Mike but it was like watching a fuckin alien play ball. he did NOT miss clutch shots and did things that i still just cannot comprehend like having the flu in a particular shitty year to have the flu and dropping triple doubles and 40 or 50 points and shit. karl malone would be dominant in any era and i feel like both them and the knicks would have multiple trophies if the bulls werent a thing. its fun to theorize but ultimately this era was so fun to watch.

[@user-qu9ng8tu1u]

Watching this brings back so many memories, this was my childhood. I grew up with the Rockets, Hakeem Olajuwon is my favorite player of all time. That summer I attended and met Kenny Smith's basketball camp. I was upset when the Rockets had traded Horry, Smith, Elie and Cassel for Charles Barkely. The team wasn't the same after that. Of course when the Rockets had picked up free agent Scottie Pippen during the 98 season, the shorten season, what looked like a winning team. Barkely and Pippen never saw eye to eye and it was the last season that Hakeem played for Rockets.

[@StayAKTV]

People forget that Jordan got 2 years of REST during those ultra competitive 90s. While Hakeem battled every night as the #1 option on offense AND defense. He did EVERYTHING on the court and deferred to no one. Imagine being the #1 option and getting 30 touches MINIMUM in the post every game and still be the anchor on defense and challenging everything that comes into the paint.

Jordan is the GOAT no doubt about that. But man, watching those Rockets 1995 mentally tough team it would have been a difficult match up for the Bulls. How could they have been able to confront that version of Hakeem. Even if they double team Hakeem somebody else would have been free to make the damage

[@granvillewalkerjr.8394]

Agreed. Even Jordan himself stated in an interview that his Bulls had no answer for the big man. With Grant gone to Orlando and no solid replacement to create an effective double team on Olajuwon, the Rockets would be a hard team to stop.

[@SignalCorps1]

As a Texan and a UH grad this was awesome, but they wouldn’t have beaten the Bulls had Jordan not stepped away from the game when he did. Hakeem would have had great games against the Bulls, but not enough to overcome Jordan.
