i too never heard about any rift between deke and dream... everytime deke speak of dream he always refer to him as "my brother"
I'm sure he gets really nice court side seats too. I wonder if any of the other heroes can get that? Otis, Kenny, Mario, etc
Olajuwon also convinced Mutombo not to retire... http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/4835142.html
Thanks for all the info, links and great stories. All every interesting stuff, thank you Z-boy for knowing the real story about the African heritage comments between Deke and Olajuwon. I knew they couldn't be less than friends, Deke and Dream my 2 fav players ever !! Will be sad to see both retired, hopefully Deke will keep supporting the Rockets and attend games. I am still pissed at RA for not playing Deke more, look at that Warriors game, the guy can still play 20-30 min occasionally. Deke should have played 10-15 mins per game, like Olajuwon said before the 07-08 season. Really disrespectful by RA and the Rockets organisation this year. By the way, how come you guys know all this ? If Hakeem really works with Josh Smith he should convince the guy to play here !!
Josh Smith went to Dream cause he knows Dream is the greatest. All the stuff here is published, the Dream/Deke stuff, Josh Smith etc. Just read your "rockets news' section.
