It's criminal of how overlooked he was. Destroyed MVP Robinson and a young, quick and agile Shaq. I think he was largely overlooked due to the Houston runs being sandwiched between the Chicago runs and the media circus that came with the Chicago runs.
Ewing certainly didn't shoot very well during the '94 Finals, which certainly had something to do with Hakeem, but he was a rebounding and shot-blocking monster that series. Too bad he didn't get a ring.
What an intense duel, two of the best defenders ever!
This was the best game Ewing played in the series. Too bad they had to go back to Houston
90’s was the last era of dominant Bigs
And center
@@Sultan-mq8oh Bigs are centers.
Shaq?
Great defense, miss the days of these real big men in the NBA
My god that move by hakeem at 4:20 shows why hes a top 7 player ever
Top 3

The two BIG nba basketball GIANTS- HAKEEM vs PATRICK
The golden era of basketball

That's why the series went the full 7 despite him struggling offensively his interior defense gets overlooked.
It didn’t help starts went 2/18 shooting in game 7.
that steal by hakeem happened so fast it almost didn’t look real. he knew exactly what ewing was gonna do. pure greatness
I miss the dominant low post mid range dominant bigs...
I miss these kinds of players that made the sport of basketball so fun.
Basketball is definitely a team sport.
OK Captain Obvious
This is more badass than today's NBA which is trash.
The OJ chase game. That's why they stop commenting on the game
Pat was giving him some good work
I wish The knicks would have won this one..
Olajuwon said, No, the knicks aren't gonna get this one.
4:16
The Dream all day.
and without an all-star joining him.
Between 3:40 and 5:07, Marv Albert took a nap and mumbled in his sleep
He was either eating or having a mild stroke lol
Because of OJ Simpson?????
@@pull-upjumper6190 oh yeah they did cut in the game to show him fleeing the cops. Good memory
@@pull-upjumper6190 Very possibly!!
Broadcast was interrupted by the oj high speed chase
3:58 lol
Broadcast interrupted by the oj high speed chase
Olajuwon can also dominate the Knicks in MSG.
[00:02:23]: three seconds my ass. That should’ve been a foul!
Hakeem won in the end but he didn’t pull that shit against Ewing like he did Robinson Ewing was too strong and he gave it back
Ewing had more help overall from Oakley, Mason and (Charles) Smith he wasn't the primary defender half of the time.
Robinson was double and even triple teamed while Olajuwon went mostly one-on-one and yet shot much better than Ewing.
