    I know that a lot of people have nominated that their greatest memory of Hakeem was the showing against the Admiral and that dreamshake when Hakeem toyed with David and made him look very ordinary.

    To all the BBS users, what other Dreamshakes has Hakeem done that is comparable or better than the one above?

    For mine, I think the Dreamshake, Hakeem pulled on Shaq late in the fourth quarter of game 4, 95 finals is the closest to the sinking of the Admiral.

    Hakeem gathered the pass from some Rock. He dribbled the rock as if to tease Shaq to try take it from him. Dream then backed to the corner followed by Shaq. Then he launches himself into a drive with a helpless Shaq watching. Hakeem as if to say, "Shaq, try to block this" pivots and spins off him and delivers a fadeaway so deep that showed that Hakeem was on another level. Nothing but net!!!

    Walton then has the gall to call it a bad shot! What a low-life! This the same SOB that Hakeem destroyed in the 86 finals.

    Another great Dream Shake came last year believe it or not. It happend in the game in which the Rockets beat Portland in The Comapq Center. Dream put the Dream Shake on Brian Grant and the crowd went nuts and the next time down court Francis dunked on Sabonis and the the arena really went nuts.

    I can't remember the exact games but when Shawn Bradley came into the league Hakeem had Shawn spinning in circles.

    Thats only because the fundamentals tells the center not to fade away from the basket, but to go right at it. Thats what made Olajuwon such an awesome player, he created his own way to play the game.

    I dont know what night it was, but it was 2 years ago at the Compaq Center against Boston. There was a Celtic center named Anderw Declerq. I dont exactly recall what happened because it was so fast, but Declerq was standing under the basket while Hakeem posted him up. Suddenly Hakeem turned and faced him up took a couple of dribbles, did an array of spin moves and faded towards the free throw line. Although I didnt fully comprehend Hakeems move, I only saw Declerqs knees buckle and his body shiver like his brain was saying go left but his body went right. After seeing this move, my roomate and I then coined the phrase Hakeem just "Declerqed" somebody. I strongly suggest you go to the tape on that one!
