    A few truly amazing blocks by Akeem in this vid. Couple semi-decent dunks by Clyde and the boys, too. ;)

    I know this is completely random, but why the hell did they take out Hakeem's segment in that new "Amazing is the Dream" video they've been playing. He used to be after Robinson and before Michael Jordan, but they took him out =(

    Jordan's inside and midrange game is useless against Olajuwon. With today's rules Olajuwon would increase his blocks by 30%. In those days you had illegal defense calls when a player was roaming around.

    I think Rudy T said it best after Olajuwon career in Houston was done. Olajuwon played with pride. I believe it is the same fuel Jordan played with. They were horses that played both sides of the court the WHOLE game.

    Had no doubt in my mind if the rockets were to meet the bulls in the finals during the Olajuwon era they would have done fantastically well.
