    Another foot is still, it does not look like a travelling to me

    Many thanks to Hakeem, hope Yao can gring back the glory as Hakeem did many many years ago to the Rocket team

    Sorry if someone has already posted this...

    nba.com has someother part of the video, here is the link

    All Access: Yao and Hakeem Work Out

    This is out of topic, I try to find this from wikipedia but could not get an answer, why Dream changed his name from Akeem to Hakeem?

    I can not get enough of this video...it's like crack...

    Hakeem is a good teacher!

    Les and management should pay him as a player consultant!

    Let us innovate a new position...

    How do you know that it's his right foot that is his pivot foot. Maybe it's the left foot.

    From what I remember, Dream's religious belief dosen't allow it.

    It's a shame IMO, even Karla has a statue...

    I remember in an interwiew Dream said he changed it because Hakeem with a "H" is the proper way to pronounce his name.

    Hakeem's name had always been spelt "Hakeem" when he came over here he changed it to "Akeem" because that is how you pronounce it and he didn't want people pronouncing it wrong (if you say "Ha Keem" then you are doing it wrong). The "H" is silent.

    All he did was go back to the correct spelling.

    again... you do not pronounce the "H" ... just say it "Akeem."

    Yeah. I don't think this is right. I think he added the H because it is pronounced "Hakeem".

    I am not a fan of either one and I have no hard feeling about either one. But I have to say almost every people agrees that the dream is better than Robison, who cannot get the title without TD.
