Good ol 1980s - Olajuwon fights Kupchak

damn, olajuwon got owned

 

By who? The ref tackling him from below and the Lakers player pulling him back by his neck simultaneously?

Its a good thing Jeff Kersey (ref) and the Lakers player pulled Hakeem away and then the entire Lakers team kept him at bay or it would have been a Rudy II.

This was a young and hot-headed Hakeem and was going for the kill with his punches.

 

Nice left hook by Hakeem there dropped him like a bad habit.

 

They don't make em like they used to.


The huge Marlboro ad on the scoreboard, I mean.

 

Mitch was an underrated player. I only seen him play four ball times though.

 

A funny scene that gets lost in all this is James Worthy making it his mission to push the **** out of every white Rockets' player lmao

 

I miss this stuff. NBA gone soft.

 

That would be Craig Ehlo.

He's made it his mission to get punked in the NBA.

 

That referee made it worse actually by pushing him towards the Lakers bench where he could risk getting choked / hit. Olajuwon was a hot-headed guy coming in, it's good he became a man of faith or he would've never have lead us to back-to-back championships.

 

Lol wrong.

Didnt you look at the 2nd angle? Olajuwon wacked him and he hit the deck covering his head lol

Youre looking at the entire arena that tackled Hakeem. That, young man, is respect, everyones' attention was squarely on containing The Dream.

 

So what you are saying is Islam got Houston its only pro championships that matter:grin:

 

It is interesting that young Dream was set off so easily by some pushing or an elbow, but by the time Shaq came across him and would throw a 'bow at him, he'd just laugh it off and not let anything bother him. Complete difference in mentality.

 

and thats why he had the heart of a champion.

 

evolution of a human being... i'm still at akeem level... i'm trying to get to hakeem's level.. i don't know if i can ever get there

 

I would call that maturity or growing up..
