[Episode 9] Red Nation Roundtable with Hakeem Olajuwon

What if Morey pulled a trade for Jose Calderon, who shoots +.400 for 3? Would people like to see him start over Beverly?

 

WTF wrong thread

 

"I loved it when Chicago comes to Houston with a winning streak. We know we're going to break that."

 

Funny. All the work he's put in with Dwight, and D-Mo's the one who's benefited the most working with Dream. Damn you Dwight smh

 

I hate to say this. But when I saw the video of Dwight working with Dream I knew it's not going to be effective for Dwight. Dwight looked like a hyperactive kid who cannot focus his attention.

 

Ahh, man, I was about 10 around championship time, and while I still have my championship shirts and hat, it does seem a little dreamlike in memory. I would love to be able to watch just about every game in Hakeem's career; I would gladly pay the NBA for a classic games streaming package.

Hakeem was the best center ever. There were so many good ones over the years, but let's not forget that this man played Hall-of-Fame-caliber basketball while fasting during Ramadan. I also distinctly remember him being one of the most humble professional athletes ever every time he'd speak. Quiet yet ferocious. There will NEVER be another one of him.

 

This was awesome. It's crazy how humble he is.

 

I lol'd at The 10 day contract part Hakeem could probably put up 10 and 10and Dwight better be careful with those knees or he will be putting up 2 and 5

 

Really wish I was born before 1990 sometimes to somewhat see Olajuwon in my own eyes in his prime. The way my dad talks about those days man...what I would do.

 

What always puzzled me about the workout videos with Dwight and Dream was that Dream had Dwight working his moves against...no one.

Hell, even I'm unstoppable when no one is defending me. Dwight needs a defender working against him in there. Then he needs to work up to double teams, then passing out of double teams.

 

You can buy the 94 championship on DVD, give you a good does of Hakeem

 

after watching this interview i decided to watch double clutch (it's on youtube) and wow, those rocket teams had an unbelievable amount of trust. i'm not sure our current group has reach that level of chemistry. anyone and everyone on those teams was able to hit a clutch shot and they did. olajuwan, drexler, horry, ellie, smith, cassell, maxwell all of them were not afraid to take the big shot and most of the time they made them.

 

im surprised they didnt ask hakeem if dwight will ever get it in the post
