    Bill Worrell:"Olajuwon, he's got so many moves, the Bulls can't catch up with the double team"

    Hakeem's stats in that game may seem great because centers today have a hard time getting those numbers but honestly, that's Hakeem's average night. He usually have those type of games almost every night. That just shows you how great he is. Not only is he an amazing scorer, but he is one of the best shot blockers to ever play the game as well as a great passer for a big man. He does every thing so well.

    Just about every starter in that game had a pretty good stat line. Even Pip almost had a triple double.

    When I think of Hakeem I think of the best modern era center. There wasn't a top center that he played in his time that he didn't get the best of. I also can't envision seeing another big man come along with his versatility. Unmatched in the post with a great faceup jumper that he can hit with consistency to about 18 feet. Rebounding, blocking, passing, creating turnovers and running the court. He did all this and did it all at a top level.

    I don't think I'm making this up, but didn't Olajuwon record a quatruple double before? If I remember correctly it involved points, rebouonds, assists and blocks.

    Hakeem was trolling with the baseline fadeaway.

    There are 3 starters in the that game who played 40 minutes or more.
    Maxwell
    Hakeem
    and Michael Jordan

    you must not be use to starters playing full games;)

    I think right now, the Rockets would be ecstatic to have a guy who had Zero pts/13rbs/7asts/4stls/5blks

    So close to a 5/5/5/5/5 game! Hakeem the most complete center of all time!
