    Hakeem on TBS

    Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon will be a guest on tonight's TBS broadcast of the
    Knicks-Pacers game.

    Olajuwon will be on with Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith, a former teammate of Olajuwon's
    with the Rockets.

    "It will be fun," Olajuwon said. "I've done a couple of shows (Up Close and Late Night With
    David Letterman.) This is different. But with Kenny Smith there, I'll be comfortable."

    What about Barkley?

    Thanks cson.

    I think Barkley is on 'Inside the NBA' show on TNT wednesday and thursday. So he might not be there today

    Dream will be on at halftime, the same time all the player interviews are done.

    Barkley doesn't do Tuesday's cause he hates Peter Vescey (who only does Tuesdays).

    I think they switched coverage to the Raps-Kings game, so the interview hasn't aired yet.

    It's over now. It was a very good interview, and the demonstration of the "Dreamshake" was pretty cool. That and the repeated showing of a piece of footage with Hakeem making David Robinson look the fool.

    They didn't use the best clip from that series -- the one with the triple fake. Jaw-dropping.

    Kenny saying over and over, "he made me famous" was sweet.

    Great interview. I am so glad this guy is still a Rocket.

    Yeah it was great. I think Hakeem took it easy on Ernie with the Dream Shake so as not to make him look as foolish as Robinson, O'Neal, and countless others.

    I love that Hakeem is getting a little bit more respect lately! (or that he's back actually) It was nice to see him and Kenny side by side there again!

    It was fantastic to see Hakeem's dreamshakes from the championship days on TBS.He gave a lot of credit to Kenny Smith for making seven 3 pointers in a game which helped us to win.Hakeem is a great team player despite his brilliant individual skills.Ernie Johnson pointed out that Hakeem led the Rockets to two NBA championships.It was awesome.I was happy but at the same time a liitle sad because this might be the last time that we are seeing Hakeem on TV.He is truly a living legend,so humble and yet so great.It made me proud to be a Rocket fan.

    Yes, Dream showing his class tonight was great. I'm gonna miss seeing the big guy. I could have watched that move on The Admiral over and over. Man, that brought back some sweet memories.

    Great interview, and even better footage.
    Hakeem has allowed us to all live the dream.
