The Dream has spoken! http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/int...houston-rockets-hakeem-olajuwon-dwight-howard
I knew since last year that this group of guys had something special. I can't wait to dominate the NBA for years to come. We're coming for you Lebron!
this ? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/hakeem-olajuwon-sell-sneakers-145412182--nba.html would you buy these?
Feel so surreal that we finally have a contending team!! Can't wait for the start of the season!! Let's go Rockets!!!!;-D
Now that Dream is officially part of the staff, will he do more media stuff and become more involved? It would be interesting to hear his take as the season progresses.
Why? Cause he finally was able to sign a big time FA. I put the Howard signing more on the Lakers (Kobe, FO) sucking, and Harden/Parsons recruiting. Morey had very little to do with him coming here, other than having the cap space. I know we had to have cap space to get him here, but that didn't make him come here, the Lakers and Harden/Parsons are the main reasons. Maybe now he can stop all the willing an dealing so we can know who we have on the team year in and year out.
He's probably done more "media stuff" in the past three weeks than he has in the past 13 years combined. Beyond the occasional court-side appearance, Hakeem has been very private in past years since retiring. Anything the fans get should be taken as a rare blessing for the longtime Houston sports fans.
