      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

You did have a point about people being around that height having health problems, once they're a senior citizen.

    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.
