Aziz Olajuwon

I wonder what his real height is. The clip has him listed at 6-3 but googling him has him listed also from 6-5 to 6-7. If he's more the latter, I think he has a good shot at making it in the NBA.

 

That clip looks like it's almost a year old, he could've grown in that time.

 

Dang. He's tiny. I wonder how tall Hakeem's wife is. Olajuwon was like 6'10, 6'11 no?

Bringin the ghetto gospel to every hood possible.

 

6'10" ... and he married a small normal sized woman.

 

That makes sense then. I mean it's just highlight clips, but if he's around 6-6 and has those skills, at the very least he looks more draftable than Bronny James.

 

Any Olajuwon that comes into this league must be in Houston. Olajuwon and Houston are two names that only belong together (to hell with that last year in Toronto - that never should have happened in my opinion!)

 

Like Afis and Taju?

 

Half Nigerian / Half Iraqi

 

Shout-out to Marian Christian HS alumni there! The old Houston Sports celebrity offspring (and siblings) nursery... R.I.P

 

Never played against them other than pickup games, but good God did we hate Marion

 

Hakeem has two more sons playing basketball in junior college in northeast Texas. Abdullah Olajuwon is playing at Kilgore JC and Rahman Olajuwon in playing at Tyler JC. No info on height or stats but they did not appear to be as big as Hakeem in the video I watched. It would be nice to have at least one of them at UH. Maybe not as front line player but we do need someone to fill the Ryan Elvin role.

You know you're getting old when you remember old Al Horford's dad, Tito, was supposed to be "the next Olajuwon" coming out of Marian Christian.

 

Somehow I had never put this together until right now. Huh. I absolutely remember Tito
