LOL at that idiot shaq saying dont compare me to any of the lakers centers and how Hakeem was the greatest, to listing him at 5 in the next clip.
This entire entity called CLUTCHFANS was created because Hakeem Olajuwon led the Rockets to 2 PURE CHAMPIONSHIPS
In a time of MJ, Hakeem was still able to shine. In any other era he would have easily been on a list with MJ to the normal none sports fan.
My only problem is they keep saying 'One of the best shot blockers'.. Come on now, Hakeem was the best shot blocker hands down that the league has ever seen. Hakeem has 3,830 career blocks, second place doesn't even have 3,300... No one is even close to Hakeem in that category. As great as Kobe was defensively.. Hakeem got more steals
Before Olajuwon was drafted the Rockets had finished with losing records in 12 out of 17 seasons. After being drafted, Olajuwon's Rockets had 15-straight seasons at .500 or better. In its first season after trading Hakeem, Houston finished 28-54.
The cheap ass owner didn't want to overpay Dream for one season, for all he's done. Yet, the cheap ass owner paid Othella Harrington and Kelvin Cato
Since 1984, the Rockets have only had four seasons below .500. Since 2014, the Lakers have had five seasons below .500!
