Michael Jordan, Kevin Johnson, etc. have bronze statues of themselves in famous poses (Michael the split legs, dunk and Kevin Johnson the dunk over Hakeem ) I was wondering what would be Hakeem's best pose or famous moment in his career that would make the best bronze statue? There are just too many for me to pick just one but maybe everyone in here can help. ------------------ Arkansas' Biggest Rocket Fan!
It would obviously be the Dream Shake ------------------ Haha.. you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: Never get involved in a land war in Asia. Only slightly less well know is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
Maybe we should put the statue of hakeem stuffing KJ. did that happen in the same series? If phoenix puts up Kj dunking over hakeem then we need to show hakeem stuffing kj lol. By the way.. anyone else think that phoenix basically showed hakeem some respect.. i mean hakeem should be honored that they put that up.. that basically shows that out of KJ's career the most impressive thing he did was dunk on hakeem. kinda shows that hakeem is the greatest ..and dunking on him is a career highlight ------------------ Shane "Save Our Rockets" "Life without basketball in Houston........without an arena that is what it will be"
If I were to put up a statue outside the stadium it would be of Clyde and Dream giving a high five after the championship was sealed. ------------------ humble, but hungry.
How the h*ll would you make a statue of him doing the dream shake??? The dream shake is a MOVE not a pose or moment. The dream shake is one of the greatest moves in NBA history but you can't make a statue of it. ------------------ Arkansas' Biggest Rocket Fan!
I don't think Hakeem would like a statue of himself to be erected. He doesn't have any statues in his house because of his strict Islamic beliefs, and the association of statues to idols. ------------------ "Oh No..." -Bill Walton in 97 just before Stockton's buzzer beater
Ive been saying this for years! It was an offensive foul. Look at any highlight, he shoved Hakeem away.. TEAR DOWN KJ's statue, he doesnt even have a ring for crying out loud! ------------------ BILL KENNEDY SUCKS!
He did!!!!!????? I have to take a closer look when I see it again. ------------------ Arkansas' Biggest Rocket Fan!
It would be easy. Just use your imagination ------------------ Haha.. you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: Never get involved in a land war in Asia. Only slightly less well know is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
Re: The Dream Shake... Just have a statue of him fading away on a shot... Not that complicated... ------------------ "Awesome baby!" Dick Vitale
That is true. He also would not have anything to do with the bobblehead doll but does not have a problem with them being handed out. Old School ------------------ I voted YES!
YES!!!!!!! BOBBLE HEAD HAKEEM BRONZE STATUE!!!! i love it i love it i love it rH check my updated website: http://houstonrocketsfan.tripod.com
the best idea for a hakeem statue whould be for the rocks to use their cap room to make a life size statue of Dream made out of gold... However that wouldnt work, so they should make a statue of Hakeem stuffing starks to seal the first championship for the rockets ------------------
Maybe we can make a statue with some movable parts so that it shakes left, then right, then left, then right.... I don't think Dream would appreciate a statue of himself. It is exactly the sort of iconograghy that Islam prohibits. I'm surprised he allowed them to make the bobble-heads -- but then, there's the millions of posters, cards, etc of him already. ------------------ RealGM Gafford Art Artisan Cakes
I don't know, but how long till that statue of Rocky falls and is replaced by the Answer? ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
I think that the Statue should be a series of Statutes. . . . like in the cartoons when you show him in one post then another and then finally the fadaway Also I would like some PERMENANT Brown dance steps like shoes there So that little kids could step in them imitating the Dream Shake Rocket River ------------------
Forget the statue and just name the new arena after him. ------------------ Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon is the greatest player in the history of basketball. If you disagree, you are not a Rocket fan.
