[Episode 9] Red Nation Roundtable with Hakeem Olajuwon

Nice!!

Listening now. Best Centre of all time.

 

Great stuff RV6...Thank You!!!

 

Man that wasn't long enough, but still great to listen to.

I found what he said about the centre position really interesting. We all talk about the death of the elite center, but that era of great centers that Hakeem was in (and established himself as the best of) was really just a unique situation. Every position gets a turn to be deep in talent, like we're seeing with PG's now and PF's before that.

 

I feel like working with Hakeem in the post is something that should be the final stage of a big mans training. He's on that Pai Mei level.

 

Sign him up to a 10 day contract, let him play backup Center.

it aint april yet DD

 

I'm too young to be a fan during the championship years but I watched some of his amazing highlights since then. He seems like a genuinely good guy. He's a Houston Rockets through and through. He said coach McHale is a good coach hehe

Go Rockets!

 

Unfortunately, I was too young to live Hakeem's glory days (born in 1994) but I've watch numerous highlights and game footage and it's always so cool to hear stories from him.

Next week has to be James Harden, please!

put in headphones you'll be fine

 

Great interview only I disagree with is Dwight is the best big man and mchale is great coach

 

I feel bad for the Rockets fans that never got to see Dream play. I've never seen anything remotely resembling what he could do on the court since he retired. It sure was fun!

 

What a great man he is. Thx op.

 

Dream, soft spoken, insightful and modest. He had a championship calibre team in the mid-80's. It was a travesty, it did not come to fruition. Simply, the best.

 

I remember what a let down it was to watch the rockets without Hakeem. We got so used to watching great basketball. His beast mode was amazing to see.

 

wow, just wow!

I haven't listened to it but I saw the thread title and thought "wow." We are not worthy.

DMo (and the rest) should be happy. He has one of the greatest to ever play the game teaching him how to be great.

 

"Discipline", "life style".

Esplecially life style, how many players have emphasized these things now a days??!!

I sincerely hope all of our players take some note.

 

Thanks!
