    How forgot how physical Nique was. I wish Harden had that type of motor. He would be unstoppable.

    a couple of things

    two things stand out about that team, and that era. first, everyone is much leaner, not as bulked up as today's players, which may relate to the 2nd point.

    Olajuwon's quickness really impresses- not just how fast he is within his moves, but how quickly he starts his move. as soon as he gets the ball, and occasionally while the entry pass is still arriving, he's already in motion. he doesn't hold the ball, and try to bang/back down his man.

    so fluid and graceful, and wonderful to behold. there's never been a player like him, with that combination of speed, quickness, power and grace.

    Man, Olajuwon's scoring looked easy.

    Watching Olajuwon play is always a treat, his footwork is unmatched compared to that of any big man in NBA history.
