I can't believe the day is half over and I haven't seen a shout out to the the big man yet. Everyone must still be lapping up Laker tears.

The legend of Hakeem the Dream Olajuwon grows day by day. Happy Birthday to you from all of us Hakeem.
SO to one of the most skillful, greatest and most humble players to ever do it, we love you Hakeem, HBD
Happy Birthday to a stranger who made my life better. Not just by winning, but the examples he set thru his dedication to to his craft, work ethic and how he treated others. Taught me a whole new level of understanding. Thank you Big Fella.
Underrated. He's as good as good or better than anyone not Jordan who ever played the game. He should be considered inarguably top 5 and arguably top 3 ever. But he's not a SG/SF so he isn't credited. Really pisses me off.
The Greatest Team That Never Was Dunks, drugs, and disappointment: an oral history of the 1980s Houston Rockets http://grantland.com/features/an-oral-history-hakeem-olajuwon-ralph-sampson-1980s-houston-rockets/ They got rid of Grantland, too much about the Rockets history that was true
If you weren't old enough to watch Rockets vs Bulls in the 90s, aka, you weren't an embryo or a twinkle in your parents eye, you can't make any analogies or reference Jordan, you don't know . you only know what the media lets you know, kinda like now.
I'm predicting that in honor of Dream's 56th birthday Harden will score a total of 56 points, with 34 coming in the first half.
