    Dream seems to have a foggy memory about the way he acted and the things he did before he converted to Islam. He seems embarrassed to acknowledge his past. I don't remember how many fist fights he had back then but it sure seemed like a lot. That game in Denver during the playoffs is the one that stands out to me. If a player did that today he'd get crushed in the media.

    Yeah, he was great for like three years, but before '92 he was hothead for sure. Faking injuries, demanding trades is something he probably wants to forget.

    He was great for a lot longer than that. He was immature..but still a completely unique and dominant NBA talent.

    Great for 3 years?? Go back and look at the facts before spewing garbage like this. Yes, he was a hothead, but he was great for well over a decade.

    I guess I should stop posting facts then.

    Hakeem was a great passer before he was 30.

    Let's not be silly.

    Olajuwon was not GREAT over a decade...

    .... he was ALL-WORLD over a decade.
    Routinely pulling unprecedented feat type-ish

    I think fake Rockets fans that hate on Rockets legends like McGrady shouldn't post either.

    Late April Fools joke right? MJ selected Hakeem as the best center he'd want on his team of 5 best players

    hahaha...If another center I WON'T name had Dreams heart we'd be talking about a completely different kind of season for the Rockets. I'm not even talking talent comparisons...Just HEART. I liked Dreams attitude when he'd kick your ass on and off the court personally. You were gonna give him the ball and perform too pre-Islam and after it.
