'Hakeem giveth and Hakeem taketh away!' I love that line! hahaha
There will never be a player like him, ever. Best center of all time easily, and second best all around after Jordan I think, for all his accomplishments.
i still wonder about the amazing finals we never had - Bulls vs Rockets in 94-95 'cause MJ ventured into baseball. That would have been an awesome series...It would have been the 1st finals MJ & the Bulls have had against a genuine big man
@dakingwill768 I know your comment was a year ago, but you're still out of your mind. Hakeem was "easily top 3 for all-time?" Ever heard of a group of guys named Abdul-Jabar, Chamberlain, and Russell? How about Shaq? Olajuwon resides on that second tier of all-time great centers with Ewing and David Robinson.
@hogie1525 I AGREE ABOUT WILT,JABBAR AND MAYBE RUSSELL BUT I THINK HAKEEM WAS BETTER THAN SHAQ,EWING AND ROBINSON.THERE ARE ALSO OTHER GREAT CENTERS(M.MALONE,REED,BELLAMY,COWENS,GILMORE,THURMOND,LANIER,WALTON) THAT ARE ΑLMOST IN THE SAME LEVEL.
Not only sick moves. But doing them against the (other) best defenders in the world. He probably would have dominated even more in today's NBA, with the lack of great centers.
i'm glad i was born in 1982 and i grow up with Hakeem, Patrick Ewing, MJ, Scottie, Kemp, Magic, and many others great NBA players

Hakeem is better than Ewing of course. But check out Patrick Ewing top 13 plays. Like them better that hakeems . Although Olajuwon is better

Probably one of the most underrated centers in NBA history. He's easily in the top 3 for all-time.

Been following the NBA since 1972 and have seen alot of big men but this guy is by far the best, #2 in my opinion would be Moses Malone.

The best center since Wilt. The Rockets have never been the same since Hakeem left. There have been a lot of good centers but only one Olajuwon.
