If this has already been posted, sorry. I found this article by Jim Huber about Hakeem that came out about 5 days ago. http://www.cnnsi.com/turnersports/nba/news/2000/05/16/turner_olajuwon/ With the retirements of the Michael Jordans, the Charles Barkley's and others, there's aren't many players left from his era. "You know, I can't look at Jordan, I can't look at Barkley. They are making individual decisions. I can't be praised by people who say I should retire now. If I should choose to retire, that's my choice. And I live with it comfortably and happy with my decision." Gotta respect the guy even if you think he should've retired... I sure do. ------------------ ?
