Yeah the kids are going too fast. They should slow the movement down slightly because you have more control that way and it allows you to read the defense better.
@@tamsui-fn5zn it’s literally soccer. Search up soccer and you’ll see a black and white ball with players with shorts and shirts on. Search up football and you’ll see players with pads and helmets on.
Yeah these young centers need to go to him and Ewing on how to play the centers position today's centers are to soft and don't won't to rebound or posts up
Hakeem taught me these moves in The Summit in Houston in 1988. As a result I won the Bronze (3rd place) Texas State Championship in 1991, and the Gold (1st Place) Texas State Championship in 1992. I was chosen and played in the McDonalds All Star and Optimist Coaches Association All Star game. I was also chosen 1st Team All Tournament and 1st Team All State. I then watched him win back to back World Championships in 1994 and 1995. The moral of the story is, there are Trophies ALL OVER THE PLACE because of #34 Hakeem the Dream Olajuwon. That's what makes him the Greatest Center of All Time.
Despite what people like to claim, classic fundamentals will never age out of relevance, only those who truly know how to use them. Rule changes and analytics often push newer players to prioritize the whistle over scoring with a whistle as a bonus.
He was 6’10”. He was the smallest out of all the bigs back then and still busted their asses. Like Barry Sanders on the court, they didn’t know which way he was going.
The control, authority, strength, grace and refined skill of the Dream. He would kick the shit out of the best guys at your local rec league. At age 61.
This is why ladies and gentlemen... is why Hakeem Olajuwon is #4 on my nba mt. rushmore. And not just teaching these youngins but Kobe and Bron too. One if not THE best center of all time. Mans had stellar footwork, shimmies (the dream shake too), mid-range, blocking leader, and we don't even have to speak about the 93-94 season. Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon a.k.a The Nigerian Nightmare... We'll never forget you man. Much love 💚💛🖤
It's crazy that more people don't recognize him as such, any other center you think he's worse than he's beaten, Shaq, Kareem, the admiral, Ewing, the only one he never went up against was wilt 😳
I used to study this man moves in the 90s and it made my spin move so unstoppable aswell as defensive was beast because of this man. "Thanks dream" One of my top 5 favorite players all time.
Yes, The Dream. I started watching him in high school, newly uprooted to Texas, then going to TSU for college, I was all about this guy. Clearly in the top 5 greatest Centers of all time. Seeing him then and seeing the same thing now at his age just shows that natural talent he has. The best times of my life was watching those Rockets in the playoffs. Back to Back, whew take me back to the 90’s……
You caught that too. On one of the jump hook moves he shows him the lil shoulder nudge. Those small moments of impact and physicality is all you need to get your shot off. The whole roll the defender off your shoulder or hip to create space concept. MJ and Kobe used similar bumps on their turnarounds and fadeaways, Dirk too. Even the pioneer of the modern stepback jumper, Paul Pierce was adept and using his ‘heft’ to create space.
Top 10 player of all time. Its unbeliavable how a guy that big could have that footwork/coordination in the post, he would break Center's ankles 24-7 by simply these moves.
@@jamesmartin9401 I know right, he’s smart enough to get to his spots but would be injury prone, probably defense liability,and time limited all due to his age.
Nah Shaq was in his 3rd year when dream cooked him lol. Hakeem also COOKED Kareem in his second year. So he schooled 2 generations of Lakers greats lol Schooled HIS og AND schooled the youngin
I still see the same thing I saw when I was a little kid. He's so smooth with it. I remember not caring about big men back then, but Hakeem Olajuwon was just different. I could tell he would be great regardless of height. He also always had that "Sensei" aura.
Hakeem has been doing those moves for so long, he doesn't even realize they're damn near magic. Just another day at the job for him. Those kids, whether or not they use any of those moves, have had their basketball minds exploded and their court awareness extended.
This is the way it works people and it does my heart good to see when someone who was successful shares and teaches the younger generation how to do something then you are passing on a gift that keeps on giving into the future.
A livin legend indeed: Mr Hakeem Da Dream Olajuwon... A beautiful great mind teaches other younger mines hiw to become it... One of da all time best Centers ever...📢 Congrats 👏🎉💐
Among centers, his footwork was the best in history. It was so beautiful to watch him dance around his opponents. No centers do anything like this nowadays.
Bro, your Tripping Hakeem definitely was the Most Skilled Big ever actually one of the most skilled players ever period but Shaq was DEFINITELY and extremely skilled Big.
@TylerHingleton Before Shaq put on all the weight he was as athletic as there ever was a center.. most skilled big man meh … soft hands and great touch for his size
Not to sound sus but i'd think a lot of bball player would benefit from taking a dancing class to give them a sense of footwork and mobility. Dudes be moving like refrigerators out there.
the kids travel on every move, hand is holding the ball from under modern nba is nothing but travelling, the appearance of more flashy athletic moves to make it more marketable
Why is the youngster with the mop top trying to do it so fast? What's up with young kids and thinking everything has to be done fast? He looks ridiculous
@@RRRRRRRRR33 It actually started with MJ, when he was on top. His influence carried over to the new millennium for the worse, when it comes to uncalled traveling violations. There is a compilation of it on TH-cam
Hakeem was a rare breed. He dominates the center position with skills more than with physical strength. His footwork, agility, fakes working together was such a fun thing to watch.
Tim Duncan would have something to say about that. Arvydas Sabonis would have something to say about that. Hell, Nikola Jokic would have something to say about that. Even Victor Wembanyama would have something to say about that. I would even throw-in Kevin McHale; His Footwork was on a Level of The Dream.
Hakeem developed his great footwork playing soccer growing up. He had the best footwork of any center ever. He is at the very least a top 4 center. I can't believe most lists have Shaq rated higher than him. That is absurd.
If you think about it, a 7'0" regular person would be already having trouble standing up at 61. Elite pro sports can cause a lot of health problems long term. But if you're naturally gifted physically, smart, focused in getting your craft to technical perfection and remain active, you'll be balling through your 70s and up. Hakeem is a legend.
@TylerHingleton thanks for investing your time, that was very helpful for the topic in hand. Anyway, if all you care about is precision, then notice I said "a 7'0" regular person", not "Hakeem Olajuwon, who is 7'0"" -- exactly because the comment is meant to be general (no statistically relevant difference between 7'0", 6'10", or even 6'6", as the contrasting subject is mobility issues and aging in non-athletes).
