Isn't this almost the same scenario the Rockets were in regarding Hakeem before the 92-93 season? This time, the Rockets were the one who put Hakeem on the IR, as opposed to Olajuwon faking his injury (during the 91-92 season)... I don't see why he's so mad about that because he seemed to enjoy his "injury" stint in 92 but now he seems to be miffed... Back then, Rockets fans crucified him for being selfish... I didn't find anything wrong with that at all because for the most part it is 100% correct... But now, after 2 titles, some Rockets fans are more apt to putting up with his crap... I feel that what he is doing now is just as bad as what he did 9 years ago... If you believe that Olajuwon really cares about the good for the team, he would have retired a year ago... He wants to be traded to feed his ego, not to "help improve the team" like he mentions... No wonder Houston is considered a crappy sports town, we have fans who let players like Olajuwon walk all over us... ------------------ Check out my homepage!
