The Workout: Hakeem Olajuwon x Alperen Sengun | Houston Rockets

[@localgames1]

We are so lucky to have Sengun on our team.

[@damonsmith7661]

Lol the fact that he dropped to 16th is insane!...he was mocked top 10 on most boards some top 5

[@Admiralcwells]

Thanks to stone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@ultraslan0043]

Tbh, he was drafted by the wrong team for his development. A Rookie like him could get much more minute somewhere else. He had ROTY potential.

[@johnmcguire1734]

@@ultraslan0043 nope he’s just where he needs to be . Hakeem lives in Houston and helps the guys out regularly. Dream will get his skill set to the next level. Next year Sengun will be monster

[@andrewcruz5725]

So lucky to have Hakeem on your franchise lol

[@mancavesportstv]

Hakeem "THE DREAM" Olajuwon still got it.

[@WHITEPERSUAS1ON]

What it dew! the Cream Dream looks good too

[@javiersilva1577]

He legit was quicker on that move then the young gun. Hope the kid soaks it in, he has a lot of potential

[@reddcloak4567]

In a Turkish podcast Alperen said Hakeem did the same workout he did when he was training Alpi. Hakeem is such a great athelete, he can still compete at the age of 60.

[@ismailcift]

Came here to write this 🙂

[@dsuttajit]

Hakeem coached Sengun at age 60 and he’s enjoying it

[@alexmid1129]

When one of the greatest centers says you’re a complete player, that’s how you know you’re special! 🚀

[@elnardowebster2842]

Hakeem telling another guy to replicate his quickness is like Superman telling a human to imitate his flight.

[@feisalabbasi9265]

Quickness maybe so but the moves sengun looks to them right and with hoe defenders can't guard the post.mvoes cause they don't teach them he should still have great success

[@eddielesmana3383]

Lol...this comment just my day

[@roboliver84]

Lol...that dude danced on the basketball court ... his footwork is outstanding.

[@knuts2]

hahaha well done

[@vaudou_]

Next to Kobe, Sengun will probably end up being Dream's best student. Everything he'll teach will be soaked up because his skill and basketball IQ are both off the charts. Can't wait to see where he goes.

[@thehectonator9677]

I have to agree. Good point about Kobe and Sengun being best beneficiaries of Hakeem's work. I wonder if Sengun is only goimg to work with him this one time or will they be meeting say twice a week. Hopefully they get get lots of work together!

[@emanon2208]

LeBron was also a pupil of The Dream’s. I saw a video where he had LeBron doing the same spin drills. I’ve seen him use the Dream Shake and other moves learned from Olajuwon.

[@vaudou_]

@@emanon2208 Yeah and so was Dwight. The thing about Lebron is that it took him years to get everything down to the point where what he learned looked smooth. I think Sengun will soak up things much quicker. Almost as quick as Kobe.

[@emanon2208]

@@vaudou_ I agree. This kid already has the skill set and is only gonna get better with time. He’s the centerpiece I’d build around.

[@cydrobinson7565]

Definitely needs to teach him how to be a smarter defender… that said, I think Sengun will be the franchise player for the Rockets over Jalen.

[@dr.wongburger2947]

So cool to see a legend passing on his knowledge to a young guy that is one of the foundations for the franchise to build on. Also, I could watch The Dream doing moves and explaining them all day.

[@whathappenedwhen7456]

Wow! How lucky are these young Rockets to have Olajuwon as a tutor to help shorten the learning curve.

[@Raphmatic5000]

I didn't start watching basketball until I was 10 in 1994... Hakeem made me a Rockets fan for the first few years before I settled on a more local team. Hakeem is my GOAT.

[@nyx5613]

Sengun is going to be a star

[@dsuttajit]

Hopefully next season he’ll be an All-Star

[@shafiabbasi340]

Anyone notice the shot at 3:03 when Hakeem is explaining post-footwork, and as he says "the defense will come" the camera focuses on his HOF banner? Such a cool shot!

[@Lobogrey2]

That was a sick shot fr

[@ATLienForLife]

Nice catch! I didn't even notice that little nuance of the scene.

[@budtsmh872]

Nice eyes bro, the camera man did it, hoping we’ll notice it, I didn’t notice it until I saw ya comment, I was busy listening to Hakeem, and it’s alot of great looks, such as the back to back titles banners etc,…..u have an eye on a artist, and I’m a artist myself but, totally was distracted listening to the legend

[@EnzoPepsiCola]

@@budtsmh872 it was pretty obvious 😂 you don't have to have the eye of the artist to recognise "in your face" cinematography. Just saying

[@onurgozcu5020]

[@johnbsouth1]

Love to see him and a few of our other young guys grow 1-4 inches more too. But at 6'9" -6'10" I would see him at the 4 PF not 5 Center position. But I hope he keeps getting better and he earns starting role. He may be slower on defense, but he is solid and can weak side block and block often after being beaten off dribble. But the Bigs are pushing him around too much right now imo.

[@-Yu_Tsugami]

@@danielnolasco8018 no defense? Compare his defensive stat with woods and you'll be sorry.

[@lolalbu4168]

you can see Sengun using the spin alot just goes to show how Hakeems teachings are influencing his Growth as a player.

[@breadstick4443]

Workout more interesting than the entire reg season

[@CanBenal11]

Wow man this was like that Masterclass stuff when you learn from the Master.This is a huge opportunity for Alpi.

[@TuanTran-qp9cp]

one thing I am excited with about Sengun is the fact that he already has amazing vision for passing a la Jokic and even a decent 3 ball. Dream had to learn with time to pass out to teammates with the double team. If he can absorb everything he learned from Dream and be just a fraction of his post game greatness, Sengun is going to be a central core piece for years to come!!

[@ihavenocommonsensebut2008]

He could be the next dream but replace the elite defense with elite playmaking

[@andysauro1500]

0:35 to 0:55 watch the start when they practice the spin and compare it to 3:10. Sengun's wide base tightened to a faster and more balanced spin like Hakeem demonstrated.

[@jamesmartin9401]

I'm glad you said that. It's natural to think you have to make a really wide base to take up room and stabilize, but then you're limited in further movement. Hakeem mastered the medium base that still let him maneuver. Excellent observation.

[@-Plot-]

Sengun the Magnificent

[@TandemKnights]

The spin will open up everything. -- Dream

[@brandongrant4205]

Man Sengun is blessed to have that kind of knowledge his disposal. I meet Dream when I was 9 years old and I was able to demonstrate the dream shake. Too bad that I only topped out at 5'11. I send his old games to my young big men to watch his footwork

[@higherheights3105]

Let me tell it Hakeem is the greatest center ever hands down the reason I'm a Rockets fan the reason I watch NBA basketball 🏀🚀

[@nickpagano7134]

kareem was better

[@benyah3390]

@@nickpagano7134 no he wasn't. He had better teams. You swap Dream for Kareem in those repeat championship years, Houston doesn't win those titles. Moses Malone showed how to defend Kareem with physicality. That New York front court would've punished Kareem, and Kareem wasn't the defender Dream was. The following year, Shaq would've steamrolled Kareem. The only center that "possibly" could've done what Dream did was Chamberlain and Shaq, but of course that would've been Shaq vs. Shaq. But what we'll never know is if Shaq could've defended a player like himself.

[@woo_shynen8805]

@@nickpagano7134 kareem had the bettet accolades of course and was in the spotlight more, but Hakeem arguably was the all around way better player and defender than Kareem.

[@hawkwinkler6070]

[@marcustheking7510]

Always nice to see a great young talent in Sengun working with my favourite player of all time in Hakeem the dream Olajuwon and by the way I never got to see Hakeem play because I was born in 2002 but watching videos of him playing is just amazing.

[@darkprofile]

In the video I saw as a retired oldie hakeem still do the spin moves faster than Alpi😂 quickness is a talent cant be taught. But at least Alpi can improve his quickness and add new skill sets from hakeem to become better. Smart people use his own experience, smarter people use experience of others.

[@GalacticCoast]

My favorite all-time player and the player I'm most excited about moving forward and looking forward to watching for years to come.

[@kivancersoz2203]

[@kurtkauffman6254]

It’s incredible that as a teaching authority for NBA talent, there really is no great like Hakeem. If you go see him and work on your footwork, he will bring out the best version of yourself. Kobe, LeBron... the list goes on. What a well of wisdom, and the humility to teach it to the new generation.

[@pianoman5781]

I freaking love those hakeem teaching videos

[@trueliberty4537]

Everything Dream did offensively was based off the jump hook to the middle. Then it was the spin to the baseline. Then it was the baseline fadeaway, which made him unstoppable. Then he added a face up jumper, crossover and drive to the post where it all started all over in the post. This made him a freaking ALIEN.

Hakeem was such a threat nobody ever questions why he was taken before MJ. The rockets woulda killed the bulls in the finals by the way

[@00soysauce]

And even MJ said that himself. He said good thing we didn’t ever have to face the Rockets because we don’t have anything to stop that monster

[@WeCube1898]

Hakeem and MJ could have played together at Houston, rumour has it that the Bulls where interested in Ralph Sampson. Besides Hakeem went to the finals first. MJ had picked Hakeem to be a teammate in his fantasy pick-up team along with Worthy, Magic and Pipp. They had mutual respect for each other.

[@geirthieussbimkravahl]

Hakeem lost a lot of weight recently. It's so nice to see him working with the young uns. I know I'll be doing a lot of spins next time I'm at the park 😁. Sengun is looking better than I thought.
