Facts they all talk about Sam Bowie being picked second and Jordan picked 3rd. Back then it was a big man's game that was their logic. No one really saw Jordan being Jordan. I mean how could you see what he became..
@@SoloQ1 yea the blazers were going to give the rockets Clyde Drexler and the 2nd Pick for Ralph Sampson cause Portland needed a center and the Rockets declined
@@lexandrecodm7707 Literally, and thatâs why what he and Charles say is so important. Life isnât over after the NBA, and even if you keep doing a lot of NBA stuff and/or things that earn insane amounts of money, you should understand how to work with it
I think 3ple crown should be winning the 3 MVP's (season, allstar & finals). Meaning you are the most valuable during that whole year during the season, in the allstar game and in the finals. I think MJ did it not only once but twice, in 96 & 98 maybe
Definitely the best and most skilled, though not the most decorated cause he didnât have the luxury of playing with guys like magic or Kobe the way shaq and Kareem did
Man Hakeem was a stud in the 90's. An era when there was a lot of good centers too. He swept young shaq in the finals. He took out my suns a couple of times in mid 90's. His game and footwork was so smooth. Seemed like a good guy as well.
Hakeem is GOAT center .Even Shaq admitted that he was the only big man he couldn't intimidate.He was a great defender, he can dominate in the paint as well as in the perimeter.
One of my first jobs, I was a Host at Denny's in The Woodlands. I'm proud to say that it was owned by none other than yours truly, Hakeem Olajuwon. #Htown đ€đ
Hakeem Olajuwon was one of the greatest centers ever. He came to the NBA when, in my opinion, the NBA was the most competitive 80's and 90's. The 80's great teams the showtime Lakers were MFers, Celtics, Pistons, 76ers. Bulls ruled the 90's. Hakeem and the Rockets won the NBA championship finals 94 and 95.
He can still play/move well. I've seen it! Not saying he could suit and dominate now, but still can teach his techniques and all. The Man is a Dream....Unabeatable
Best Center of all time in my opinion. He could do a little bit of everything and there was just no weakness to his game. If you think someone else is better then thatâs cool... But The Dream never backed down from anyone and dominated during arguably the best era for big men. Just ask Ewing, Robinson or Shaq. Even MJ knew he was one of the only players that could give him trouble.
@@TJ_Reactz Timmy was great, but far from underrated, and Hakeem probably gets talked about more than Admiral. Both Hakeem and Admiral are underrated af though.
The most skilled and most complete center to ever play the game. My all time favourite player of all time alongside with Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.
You Go, Man!!!!!!đđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđż
The man himself. The Dream, look at every big in the late 80's to the 90's this man dominated. MJ had a lot of highlights, but not against this man in the paint.
People forgets or don't know The dream scrimmaged against Moses Malone all the time when he was at college ( Houston Cougars) and Moses was a MVP with the Houston Rockets. Wonder why he was so good coming in the NBA?.
One of my all time favourites NBA players and humans. Had the pleasure of meeting him and he left an amazing and positive impression on me. A total class act!
This man was drafted ahead of MJ and no one gives them crap for that, thatâs how good he was
Facts they all talk about Sam Bowie being picked second and Jordan picked 3rd. Back then it was a big man's game that was their logic. No one really saw Jordan being Jordan. I mean how could you see what he became..
We still botched that draft. We couldâve had Hakeem, Drexler, and Jordan for Ralph Sampson đ©
@@antwoinephillipsjr9409 Can you elaborate further on this please. Was there a deal for this that just got botched?
@@SoloQ1 yea the blazers were going to give the rockets Clyde Drexler and the 2nd Pick for Ralph Sampson cause Portland needed a center and the Rockets declined
Yep. Pretty much
Probably the best center in the history of the NBA.âïž
I hope giannis gets to work with hakeem. He'd learn so much.
Yea he just needs to work on his footwork overall, already an all time great but he still travels sometimes or just gets caught up down low.
Mannnn imagine if Giannis gets even a quarter, never mind half, of Dreamâs footwork and arsenal of moves?
@@FirashAdryan Dawg you might as well give the bucks the championship next season
To be honest Giannis has little to no real skills
His abilityâs are 99% due to his great fysicxs đ€·đŸââïžđ€·đŸââïžđ€·đŸââïž

Itâs hard for them not ti

Im almost 40 and i can say without a doubt that Hakeem is the best center ive watched play .... by far.
I live in Houston and very consistently see him at my mosque, I have pictures with him and signed items from him too, great guy!
Ma Shaa Allah, when he was in Toronto, he would consistently be at the mosque, I love and respect the brother!
Masha'Allah wa Allahu Akbar
What mosque bro I wanna see him while praying to allah
same ive seen him before too at a mosque
Seeing him in a Raptors jersey is the weirdest thingđ
I like to act like that never happened.
Shaq at Boston jersey too
@@noob-nw8ld nah shaq in a Suns or Cavs jersey weirder
I know it was đ Imagine Shaq wearing a Cavs jersey too and put it beside Hakeem wearing a raptors one đ
Ewing in a magic and sonics Jersey.
The only player to win the NBA's triple crown... season MVP, DPoTY, and FINALS' MVP.
You meant in 1 season ?? Cuz Giannis and Jordan also achieved those in seperated seasons ofc
@@cuongquoc5877 Yeah in one season.
@@cuongquoc5877 yeah in one season

One of the best to ever touch a basketball.
He's mostly a private citizen these days. Prays at Houston mosque every so often
Hakeem and Jordan and Kobe and their generation make us love basketball and enjoy it god bless Hakeem all respect and love
My favorite player all time. I feel heâs the best center ever. The fact active players still seek him out speaks what skills he had.
Definitely the best and most skilled, though not the most decorated cause he didnât have the luxury of playing with guys like magic or Kobe the way shaq and Kareem did
Best center of the 90's era
Arguable ever.
@@mrt094 no
Alex name someone with more skill?

He won a ring while fasting during the month of Ramadan.

My favourite former NBA player of all time. So happy he's doing well and lives a private life. Top 5 players imo.
Punting Hakeem in a Raptors jersey in the title card is disrespectful lol
Lol
Facts. He's an H-town legend.
Iâm so sad he didnât retire a rocket
Itâs what makes u click

Fact: Kobe Bryant got his legendary footwork by training with Hakeem in the off seasons
That first move was so tough đ„đ„đ„đ„
Itâs nice to see a âwhere are they nowâ video that actually tells you what theyâre actually up to in detail.
A great player and an even greater human being!
Heavily underrated
This makes me happy, makes me smile
Olajuwon was a real deal in college and every club in NBA were looking for him. he's first draft. but no one expected Michael Jordan would be a goat
What a career! In the best centers of all time conversation.
If he played these days I couldnât even imagine what his points per game would be. Total legend
Heâs in my mind as one of the best players ever. Heâs in my heart if one of Houstonâs greatest. From college to the hall of fame
I miss that kind of NBA
He can still play/move well. I've seen it! Not saying he could suit and dominate now, but still can teach his techniques and all.
The Man is a Dream....Unabeatable
Hakeeeeeeeeeeeemmmm The Dreeeeeaaaammm! ... Salute The Hall Of Famer đ
You can definetly see some of Hakeem's coaching in SengĂŒn.
Great basketball player. Great business man. Great philanthropist. Great man.
One of my favorite Centers
He is top 6 centers of all time
Hakeem is my Favorite player of all time
He also tutors Rockets Centers and is one of the reason Seguin is soo good.
One of the best players of all time.. most underrated player ⊠my bro
Picked before Michael Jordan and no one calls it a bad pick...that will always be insane to me
Much respect,he took care of business,no show boating
Drafted above Jordan and no one says it was a bad pick
He's just as brilliant in his business ventures post retirement and it's so good to see.
Come on DR34M is such a perfect name for his own Apparel Company. 34 His jersey number, The Dream his Nickname it's just Perfect!
Happy to know he's doing well. One of the greatest baller of our time.

He had some crazy footwork!
greatest center of all time. i dont want to hear anything else
Best center of all times!
FACTS!!
He doesn't get talked about the way Shaq and David Robinson gets talk about
Easily the most underrated center/of all time and up there with Tim Duncan for most underrated player
@@TJ_Reactz Timmy was great, but far from underrated, and Hakeem probably gets talked about more than Admiral. Both Hakeem and Admiral are underrated af though.
Great work !!! Way to smash in an INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF INFO in an extremely brief video !!! Thank you for this content !!!
Proud of you dream.Great man turning his money Into making more period.đȘ
The best big man in my life time
My favorite player Hakeem Olajuwon and Mike Jordan
Hakeem still living the dreamđ
ONE OF THE GREATEST CENTERS EVER.......!!!!!!
THE GOAT IN HIS POSITION!!!!đđ
The most skilled and most complete center to ever play the game. My all time favourite player of all time alongside with Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.
Olajuwon is the man he was the best everybody was trying to do his moves back in school. Much love!
My favorite Center.
Wish we got to see clutch city against Jordan's bulls
One of the very best the elite of the elite phenomenal talent
Hakeem Olajuwon is a Top 10 player all-time, this aint a debate. Proof is in the pudding
I didn't even know he played for the Raptors. I just thought he retired with The Rockets. đ€·đŸââ
As a Rockets fan it hurt me to see him in that Raptors Jersey the dream a legend
Sorry Shaq..... best centre of all time. Possibly most underrated player of all time
Houston shouldn't have ever traded him , he should definitely be apart of the coaching staff or even management
My favorite center of all time
I met him but heâs old retired đą I see him often
This guy is still my hero from my era!!
Big up youself Hakeem!!
Dudes been balling his entire life. Mad respect
Jordan being out the league helped a lot
It was tough seeing him in that Raptors jersey
Seeing Hakeem in an astros jersey was not something I thought I wanted
My favorite hometown Rocket. Best Center I ever saw.
The best ever to watch
My favourite player ever
Same
And by all accounts, he is a seriously good guy.
The dream shake that no one could stop him the goat.đđđâ€
You Go, Man!!!!!!đđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđżđđż
Greatest rocket of all time love you Hakeem
The Admiral is my favorite player of all time. It pains me to admit this but the dream had Davidâs number. Those were great battles of 2 HOFers.
The man himself. The Dream, look at every big in the late 80's to the 90's this man dominated. MJ had a lot of highlights, but not against this man in the paint.
1984 also drafted MJ
People forgets or don't know The dream scrimmaged against Moses Malone all the time when he was at college ( Houston Cougars) and Moses was a MVP with the Houston Rockets. Wonder why he was so good coming in the NBA?.
One of my all time favourites NBA players and humans. Had the pleasure of meeting him and he left an amazing and positive impression on me. A total class act!
Best center of all time.
The dream!!! đȘđœ
Hakeem is the most skilled big man of all time imo (not best)
Respect. I loved Hakeem
The Best Center EVER
What a name.. And then add the nickname the Dream.. Damm that just fit him like an expensive suit..đđ„
He used to be Akeem he changed it to Hakeem in 1994.
My 3rd Favorite Player of all time.......Mj, Iverson, Hakeem, LeBron, Kobe then Paul Pierce.....
Wow he is living his life đ°
Man, I'm happy to see he's healthy and doing well. King status
He was a total MONSTER there isnât a center in any era that could stop him
After wilt, Kareem and Russell,, he's the best! No questions asked!!
They couldn't guard Hakeem
This is the guy that everyone wants in they're team
