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.

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.
@@Mario-w1i3e 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
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.
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 😳
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 💚💛🖤
@@emjay2045 Hakeem was better than Shaq in every basketball category. Name something, Hakeem was better at it. Shooting, dribbling, blocking, posting up, rebounding, passing, free throws, perimeter defense... the only thing Shaq was better at was dunking.
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.
I only wished Hakeem was introduced to basketball earlier in life. His natural talent allowed him to be a defensive force early in his NBA career. He started peeking on offensive once he hit the age of 30, he went on a 5-6 year run where he was unstoppable. I felt even after retirement he kept learning the art of basketball as he truly developed the love of the sport.
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.
one of many reasons i respect and hold Kobe in high regards as he had the sense and humility most should have at a young age to engage this man for help with his game.
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……
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.
Maaaaannnn lissen....I remember Olajuwon when he was drafted into the league and even though we were stone cold 76ers's fans we knew a good player when we saw one and Olajuwon was one of the best.
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.
A lot of today's C's can really shoot. they shoot jumpers, 3 ptr's..but Hakeem had a nasty game in the paint--he was rarely denied, his footwork was so amazing. Maybe today's Big C's don't really wan't to risk injury too much. A knocked knee can put a guy out for som time today. Another thing with Hakeem, his anatomy--he was a strong man, had strong knees and legs-he could dance in the paint and bang and jump with the best of them back in his day.
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.
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.
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.
What an awesome athlet at 61, his teachings are so smart, the footwork, amazing and what impressed me most is the calm and focussed aura in the hall... It's all Hakeem "the dream"... Skilled center ever!
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.
I was lucky enough to go to the Trailblazers summer camp in 93 when I was in high school and back when they had a great team. The Blazers head coach at the time Rick Adleman ran the camp and they brought in several of the players. Because my team won the camp tournament and my coach told coach Adleman that I was the reason we won, I got to run some drills with Drazen Petrovic one to one just me and him in front of the whole camp. The highlight of my playing career to be sure. That man was unreal.
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
