    Dream is one of the most gifted sports athlete of all time. Followed by being such a great human.

    You'd think someone would be able to find a better clip of that. I mean that looks like someone did an 8 track of a TV.

    Media doesn’t want to see Dream destroying Bulls
    Bad for their narrative

    Thats what gets me when they talk about top ten lists and dream gets slighted, he was a terrific defender of his own man and his help defense, unreal.

    I'm so grateful to have witnessed his greatness, truly an honor.

    Because the Rockets have always been a trash organization.

    It was rumored that the term centering fell out of use in the early 90's with the formation of PSA's corporate basketball team. But sometimes, you will still hear it said in some forgotten dark alleys in the Bronx, "Bro, stop fronting, Dem the Facts, Olajuwon was centering all of the Knicks in the series back in the day."

    This was shared to me so I thought it was appropriate.

    You can see more examples of his rim protection and perimeter defense, like what he did to John Starks later on.

    Would love to get this guy in the draft. Looks like the next Evan Mobley.

    KG was a lesser Olajuwon.

    Mobley is a lesser KG.

    There will NEVER be another Olajuwon, he was THAT transcendental.
