    The best players in our game today like Dwight and Kobe wanted to meet Dream and learn from him. What if you had an opportunity to meet him?
    What would you ask him? Would it make you happy?

    I got his autographed at a game when I was a kid.

    You can thank Bill Cartwright for elbowing him in the eye for that cause he was in street clothes that season.

    I never got a chance to meet Hakeem in person. Ever. :(
    Clyde was the only one from back then I ever got to meet.

    Clyde has his jersey retired by two different teams.

    How many nba players can say that?

    His jersey retirement for Houston was not warranted imo, he was only on the squad for like three seasons. Lol.

    One thing I wouldn't ask him:

    "Hakeem did you ever use HGH or steroids?"
    :eek:

    Met him at Kirby and 59

    I met Dream once at a Texaco at 59 and Kirby (think it's a different station now).

    It was 1990 and I was 21 or 22 and was inspecting cars there (also was stabbed four times there...lol).

    Anyway, I'm inside and look up and there's Dream, out at the pump, motioning to my manager (who was about 5'4" at the most, by the way - and also stuttered when he talked) to turn the pump on.

    My Manager was yelling back outside "You have to pay first" and I am telling him "Man, that's Hakeem!!!" Needless to say he wasn't a sports fan and goes "I don't care who it is... he's got to pay first".....

    Dream lumbers into the office, and looks at me and says "What's wrong with him?" or something like that. I was speechless...lol. I was just shaking my head like "I don't know, man"....

    He's looking down at my manager now, who's looking up at Dream and they're going back and forth about turning the pump on and paying first. Dream : "Turn the pump on, man", with his thick accent and my manager : "S...s...s...say man, y...y..you got to pay first"). It was funny but I was blown away he was right there in front of me (and I have played on the old Summit floor and been in the locker room with them in San Antonio - met Clyde and Rudy). But, it was DREAM...lol.

    sorry double post, but I just saw the poll, and how can I vote for the options 1 and 2.

    because that would be my answer: Im a huge rockets fan, and he is a legend and a great person.
