    Hey guys on don't post much today but I met Hakeem Olajuwon today at Dissami on Richmond. He was having lunch with his brothers and friends. Ask him a few question about how he was doing and why did he teach Kobe his moves. Told me he admires Kobe and how he strives to be better and said he would never teach the enemy his secrets if he was still playing.

    I saw him last night at Lifetime fitness. He was tutoring these two young guys. It was surreal to stand on a basketball court with the Dream.

    The Legends truly love and respect the game and continue to spread their knowledge from their heart.

    No need to taint an Olajuwon thread with yet another TMac fest.

    I just wanted to preempt other people from starting something.

    Anyways, I'm proud that this is an encounter thread that actually includes a pic. Nice.

    I bet it was Sugar land. My nephews see him there all the time. I haven't been lucky enough to se him there yet. I did get to play against Tierre Brown on one occasion.

    His comments about Tracy get old, but many people still get pretty riled up.

    I'm surprised that Hakeem eats at Dimassi's. Someone needs to tell the man what's up :p

    I played against Kenny "the Jet" Smith. :p

    His brother Vincent has some kind of basketball academy, and he came to the gym.
