Muslim faithIn Olajuwon's college career and early years in the NBA, he was often undisciplined, talking back to officials, getting in minor fights with other players and amassing technical fouls. Later, Olajuwon took an active interest in spirituality,[54] becoming a more devout Muslim. On March 9, 1991, he altered his name from Akeem to the proper Arabic spelling Hakeem, saying, "I'm not changing the spelling of my name, I'm correcting it". Wikipedia
I wouldn't say "minor". "Akeem" was looking to take folk's heads off with some of his swings. If it weren't for Earl Strom, Mitch Kupchak would be eating his meals through a straw. :grin:
