it's crazy to me how a 50 year old man looks so much more smooth and fluid then a guy half his age. hakeem really is one-of-a-kind
years of practise and perfecting a craft+ natural charisma(talent)
@@biraria stretching and flexibility drills, a dietitian early in his career and heeding the advice of a HOF'er, Moses Malone also helped.
Not really. Soccer helped tremendously. Footwork doesn't mean just where to place your feet. It weight distribution from the heel to the toes and vice versa. Dwight's is all upper body
@JK 2134 lol he said dietian what do you think they do? 😂
Yes he is but let’s not forget Dwight is the stiffest superstar ever
hakeem: 'you know jumphook. you got any jump hook?'
dwight: 'eh, um. um. hm...'
Dwight's a bum
Dwight shows him his jump hook....
Hakeem: ?????
Lmao
@@ivorianking6942 he likes it up the bum
Lol
Nothing is more beautiful than the sounds of a basketball court. The dribbling echo, the net swish, the shoes squeaking, the sound of the catch.
Yeah true
I also really like the squash court sound along with the basketball court
Yup and those one of tha absolute tingz about how we love tha game of basketball 🏀 still and even how kobe bryant described it tho so yeah.😊❤
Fr tho. I love hearing all those sounds on the basketball court😊
AMEN to that🏀🏀🏀🏀
I mean... It's insane to me that Hakeem can move the way that he's moving at his age. I'd be impressed by a 5'10" guy moving that well at 50 but he's got a lifetime and an NBA career of an almost 7 foot body taking a pounding. What a legend.
He is 7, 1😂 not almost 7 foot
@@Miningtime549 7'1 is almost 7 feet
@@Miningtime549 hakeem was closer to 6"10 than 7"0 when was hakeem ever as tall as shaq
when hakeem was filming this he was probably thinking 'i can smoke this fool right now, never mind when I was in my prime.'
Gary Li well after destroying Shaq in the finals I see no reason why he’d think otherwise
Facts
Damn right
Facts
Yall got dwight fucked up😂😂😂
The Dream look like he can still give 90% of NBA players the business in the post
the lost art of the nba, only few bigmens do post moves today
Blake Griffin and ???
j k Joel embiid
His is better than Dwight Howard and Kanter.
@@yaboykongming164 Pau Gasol is the most skillful among big men. Still ages away from the Dream.
The elbow placement on the spin move at 1:31 is fantastic stuff.
It's a normal move used by Shaq, Kemp, Barkley, Malone in the 90's
@@pwimetime6687 No it's not a normal move, it's small nuggets like that that Hakeem used in merit of moves all together. That's why everyone you named won how many titles in the 90s? It took Hakeem to slow down by the time Utah finally got to the finals. 😒 Hakeem is a top 3 All-Time center an the man is solidified top 7 all-time at best.
As is the little "hop" before catching the ball. An interesting detail.
@@pureshooter7477Yes, the jump stop, waiting for the ball to come down
2:38 "To be out here 5 hours and not learn nothing"
- Dwight Howard after practicing with Hakeem Olajuwon
🤣🤣
That's a double negative , freakin Dwight. Lol, if he did not learn nothing means that he had learned something. He probably didn't learn anything.
That's a compliment. Not a diss
@MUFC ???
@MUFC Ohh it won't be the most popular in 2070 B.C.? Good to know that.
It is amazing how much smoother his moves are and prettier his shot and release are than any body else on the court. He's still got it.
Dude is 50+ years old and 7 foot tall and still moves better then most of the big men in the NBA today.
Too bad there will not be another Olajuwon ever :(
Howard is so clumsy compared to Hakeem. O'Neal was as clumsy as Howard is. Dunkan? Pffhhh...
Maybe Davis is closer to Hakeem. Who else?.. Nobody else I guess.
Shpinga let Embiid
Shpinga let Embiid is actually the closest guy to Hakeem. But there's only one Dream
Serendipitous Bliss dude he next to howard look shorter, he aint no 7 footer.
The funny thing is, out of all the NBA players that went to Hakeem for lessons, Kobe learned his moves the quickest and was the smoothest, but Kobe was a SG.
I believe that. Kobe was a true student of the game and probably wanted to know what The Dream did more than anyone else so he could have that little edge. Kobe would post up here and there in games too. Kobe had no problem using other people's moves and habits.
Kobe was a student of the game. That's why. I'm not even a huge Kobe fan, but dude worked his ass off and learned as much as possible
@@MikeBrown-go1pc that's a slight. Kobe is great. Played both ends of the floor. I'm assuming you're a bronsexual
@@dzzyvilanova560 I'm having trouble finding where @Mike Brown comments were a slight to KB.
@@dzzyvilanova560 actually his comments look rather complimentary.
Hakeem revolutionized back to the basket play. His footwork and ingenuity are mind blowing. He really goes backwards as good as any great guard went forward. It was amazing to watch.
Dwight clearly had all the physical tools, and even had a lot of touch on his shot....while practicing. Once the game hit, he just tried to pound, pound, pound. He got tunnel vision once tip-off happened.
This video should have six million views. Every kid who has ever picked up a basketball should know how to post up. There is always someone smaller than you and if not, there is always someone slower than you. You will have some type of advantage down there. Even guards can benefit from this.
austin78993 exactly
austin78993 couldn't agree more. However we live in an time where even analysts are preaching everyone to shoot 3's, and how post ups are inefficient. Such a nonsense but unfortunately people believe it.
which is why Kobe was so deadly
austin78993 I'm slow as hell and only 170lb. I live in the post.
RahulPresentsKobe Kobe revolutionized the dream shake
Hakeem Olajuwon is still in perfect shape! Did you guys realize he didn't miss a shot in all the jump/hook shots he took? This guy can still play in NBA. BRAVO!
The Dream is all business these days.
Hell nah!
That’s pushing it out yeah he’s still really good
He could he will just have the speed of Jared Dudley
@@Davi-ex4be he is too old to play more than a few minutes. Injuries and fatigue
Kobe gets mentioned a lot as one of the few who really took The Dreams’ lessons to heart and integrated it in his game. I wonder if the soccer/football connection helped.
That’s a good point. Hakeem did grow up playing soccer/football, and footwork is very important to stay balanced while doing the moves.
You can bet it did
Lebron's fadeaway in the post def came from his training w Hakeem
Kobe practiced harder.
@@Fordance100 Bricked harder too.
Hakeem’s balance is insane, the way he spins and how quick that shit is, just try to do that instant spinmove off the catch as a fake, so just the spin step without dribbeling after, like a jab step. That shit is so hard
He seems to move without any startup acceleration. It doesn't look natural.
He was actually a ballet professiona before he was a baller
Smoothest big man to ever do it
Weekend Warrior Hakeem dreams shake
I say..t duncan
Kool Byy what ?? Watch your mouth
@@izzmo9254 Timmy is better..nd he showed why
Kool Byy
He was a power forward, NOT a center.
Hakeem still looks smooth. Moves like a 7 foot guard.
Centre with a guard soul.
Hakeem was never 7 feet tall though.
@@googlemyself4091 Hakeem is 6'10 in shoes
6’11 in shoes Dwight is 6’10 in shoes.
As a 42 year old who still loves this Game and Like Most Ppl my Age or Older Watching The DREAM 😴 Work on the Court Is a Masterpiece 🎨.
Basketball 🏀 Now a 7’0 center is Taking Stepback 3s and Hitting His Defender with Hezi’s watching This Old Mans Footwork Would Blow These Kids Minds 🤯
Wow thanks for sharing this. In an Era of just JACKING UP 3's , the nuances of footwork and post play is so refreshing!
“ we can be out here for 5 hours and not learn nothing “ - Dwight 😂😂 2:38
🤦🏿♂️
Dwight is such an dumbass
I know right...EVERYONE watching this video learned something-EVERYONE. Dwight's so silly. Pay him no mind.
If you can separate the realness from the rhetoric and not take everything literally or at face value, you can obviously see the wisdom in what Dwight said. He was saying he can be out on the court and bang and slash and dunk and do whatever for hours on end, and still learn nothing. Yet it only takes nothing more than a single motion for Hakeem to analyze and show them the smallest most slightest thing to adjust like what pivot foot to use at a given moment and that changes and elevates their post game up to another level! Hakeem the dream shaker!!!
@@TheDarkphx the knock on Dwight as stated from GMs and beat writers who covered him at his many stops:
1. Bad locker room presence
2. Doesnt work hard
3. Doesnt play hard
4. Stubborn
That is realness. I want him to succeed, but I won't, can't, ignore his actions and past. We can all agree at minimum it was a poorly worded sentence.
I got to see Hakeem play live twice, I had court side seats, I"m a Sonics fan and when the Rockets and Sonics played back in the day it was really good basketball, Hakeem was amazing to watch, so smooth for a big man....
Man here in Houston we hated the Sonics! Those were some great games. Kemp and Horry with monster dunks. Payton was a killer and would get in everyones head. I went to the games in Houston against your Sonics. Those teams matched up great and yall knew how to beat us. Good times!
Pete the Pirate my dad would always tell me the Jazz were hated the most, especially here in Houston. Stockton was one of those crafty/dirty guards who did everything in the book to get his game going, or get you off yours. My dad would tel me stories of Karl Malone’s big ass flopping whenever Sam Cassell would run into him, even tho Karl has easily 100lbs on Cassell
I go back even further. The sonics team with Chambers, Dale Ellis, and the X-Man used to give us fits!! I hated them muthfkrs!!😆
"The Dream" doesn't telecast his move... He's so balanced that he can still decide after the initial move. His footwork is much more compact and he's already exploding to the basket. He plays like a quick PG.
Smoothest footwork for a big man I've ever seen in the NBA. Dream was simply amazing.
Then gets in the game and forgets everything 😂😂😂
SuckaFree 2017 he said he could be out there 5 hours and dont learn a thing...he saying just being tgere and working with him he will total recall what they worked on and at times he will benifit in long run....but i agree😂
lmaooooo
Bill Clinton
Howard's a fucking clown
😂😂
Dream has never wasted more time in his life...
He would have got paid.All he can do is impart his wisdom, if people don t listen,well.
... Flatlined ... lmmfao ...
@@elrickpenn Me too!!!! Dead!!!
@@njambizzy ... ikr ... lol ... A complete and utter waste of time !!!! ...
I just died!!!
shows the level to which some of the greats from the 1990s mastered the fundamentals...a lot of players from the 2000s and the 10s are athletic and talented, but haven’t taken time to master and hone the basic, common sense fundamentals...the kind of shit that gives you that 1% advantage in moments that matter.
cool to watch that knowledge passed down.
Disagree the 2000s was the best era imo .. guys who grew up on 80s basketball and hone their skills in the 90s . Have almost the same athleticism of today but more skilled than decade before them.. with MJ & Hakeem being the exceptions
Hakeem has excellent teaching skills...informative as he demonstates, encouraging, reinforcing, corrects instantly without chiding...
I absolutely loved Shaq but if I had to have a center I’m choosing this man . His foot work is insane .
Alex Kiriman yeah wilt is horribly underrated
I agree with you. On several occasions even Shaq has said that Hakeem was the better player. Dream was dominant on both sides of the floor. And Shaq said Hakeem is the one player he couldn't get into his head. Shaq could never rattle Hakeem mentally.
@@ATLienForLife True, shaq himself has said that the dream is his favorite centre, he always choose him in his top five
@Mark Grace True. Shaq's past twitch muscle and excess power is what made him dominant. He can't even shoot for shit ffs.
Pretty quick for an aged Hakeem.
I love these instructional vids with Hakeem. He analyses every move an detail.
The moves of Hakeem are smooth and with great esthetics. Incredible.
Just look at their feet and you'll see why Dwight will never be Hakeem. On nearly every spin move Dwight shifts his pivot foot, which technically is traveling. I believe the next guy was Amare, he was worse than Dwight. Lebron had great footwork. Hakeem's footwork is next level.
And then there's JaVale McGee
That's how the players are taught now. Shifting your pivot foot will give you advantage and is too small to be called a traveling. Players are taught to win, not taught to follow the rules.
@@matrixin1999 more like refs are taught not to call travels 🤭
You’re right!
thank you, I was watching the move at 2:17 and had to run it frame by frame trying to see how he did that in one dribble. lol
Damn this guy is a perfect teacher
Piotr C but he is not correcting some of Dwight’s mistakes.
@@mackcab200 not mistakes just different forms and flow playstyle
He taught Yao LeBron Dwight and Kobe

HOW DO YOU TAG A PARTICULAR TIME IN THE VIDEO PLEASE?
BEEN ASKING THIS GOT A WHILE.
You just type in number. No special.
Did u make some progress with this practice
3:25 travel , take off the base foot
@andrijamiranovic2663 a Lot . But detail, though, needs to be added a lot
I swear to god even at this point Hakeem does all these moves with more fluidity. The guy is so incredibly gifted.
I still watch this at least once a month. "You're waiting for me to come down." Jumping to receive the pass sets up so many post options and is easily my favorite post up advice. You can feel the slight separation and then the hasty re-application of contact from the defender on the jump, meaning he has moved his base. Better still is the overly aggressive push while you're in the air, which destabilizes/extends their stance/base, and allows for a cleaner spin.
My brain : Ok I got it
My foot & hands : ??
This happens to me so often it’s why I’ve never been able to excel in sports my brain knows exactly what to do but my hands and feet aren’t on the same page 😂
The prerequisite that Olajuwon never mentioned to his students was that you should first master the 10-15 foot midrange shot. You can do all those spectacular spin moves but if you can't nail the midrange, all those moves are useless. That's why Dwight and Javale could not apply Olajuwon's moves.
Dwight's offensive game was always his weakness. Hakeem at 52yo+ still looked more offensively fluid than a younger Dwight. Hakeem was the real Dream for Houston and true bb fans.
Patented unstoppable moves:
Olajuwon's Dream Shake
Jordan's Turnaround Jumpshot
Iverson's/Hardaway's Crossover Dribble
Abdul-Jabbar's Skyhook
O'Neal's Drop Step
McHale's Up-And-Under Post Up
Ginobili's Euro-Step
Ewing's Across The Lane Dribble
Curry's Quick Release
this is showing IQ like a true player...solving problem on their unique way....and where is Lebron on the list -selling shoes unstoppably?
James Harden 18-second dribble shot
Iverson didn't invent crossover...even variation he does is bite, Jordan fadeaway jump shot is from his brother Larry, O'Neal is bulshit, Mchale respect, Hakeem respect, Ginobili's eurostep is actually made in Yugoslavia - normal basic move there, Curry' s quick release is for kids, watch Reggie or Petrović..you forgot Shamgod crossover- also bite from croatian player Danko Kićanović
@Alex Kiriman Jordan is the one who started that turnaround fadeaway jumpshot. Kobe pretty much patterned his game after Jordan. Notwitski copied that move from Jordan also. Harden uses it now, but he step back dribble first then fadeaway.
@@ceegun O'Neal drop step was a move he used to overpower opponents in the paint. He used his 300 pound frame to unleash that move. And that move usually results with a ferocious tomahawk dunk. Shaq was an unstoppable 300 pound monster in the paint, but that was his go-to move for the dunk or jump-hook.
Move still smooth as hell, unlike most NBA playee who put on another 150 lb after retirement😂
An Sung so true 😂
True XD
Chuck
This is gold! Used to model my game in high school from Dream's moves. The master holding court here.
Olajuwon, a nba legend. I still remember those days, going from home to my best buddy home, their parents had a big screen tv. We watched a lot of nba games eating pizza and drinking coke. Greetings from Venezuela.
I hope ad calls hakeem for some lessons. He’s already got guard skills, imagine him with hakeem post moves. I actually think he can emulate him because of his flexibility and agility
I feel ad is stiff and does quick power moves hakeem is more of a smooth player
@@abhishekahirrao4271 Hakeem just one of a kind man. Like when you see those old highlights against David Robinson in the playoffs, I don't think you can teach that. That's just complete mastery of the post game.
It shows how incredible hakeem is when we are excited to see someone emulate him
Kobe really perfected these moves. Probably Haleem's greatest student. From post up to one dribble to spin fade away to footwork.
That is why he is my favorite of all time. The dream is an icon. He's 20 years older And he still got it. Hakeem, there will never be another Like him.
Olajuwon’s moves, and his Progression through the combination are still just so smooth here. This especially stands out in the side by side comparison here.
Bruce Lee once said: be water..

ReW aND nah fr
That would make him half as good as Dream....not bad.
@@pickzkickz If Giannis was half as good as Dream in the post, he would have been hoisting the trophy instead of Kawhi.
Facts
Lol giannis won't be goat
I have only seen this video 63 times, but it still amazes me how perfect the movements are.
Hakeem trained with Amare, LeBron, Javale, Dwight and with Kobe.
Only Kobe can match The Dream!
Yet, Kobe is the only one who made it part of his game, especially late in his career when he posted up more often.
LeBron uses those moves every game. Especially the post step fade move
Man this guy... in simple drills shows the difference in how good he was. The speed of play is huge. Howard still plays and did have a great career. Hakeem - his footwork, fundamental work, dedication to honing simple skills... why he was MVP.
So quick at 50. Imagine guarding that when he was 25
Legendary... Hakeem is so smooth and Dwight is so stiff... it's a pretty hilarious contrast. Hakeem would have eaten him alive back in the day. Also, I wish Amar'e stayed healthy and Melo never came to the Knicks.
@T. York Dwight would have been a beast if he had of started learning this at a younger age.
So many of the comments saying that Hakeem would of destroyed Dwight in their primes is no debate however to your other random comment; Amar’e was never the same outside from being with Steve Nash. If he was healthy, he would of done good if he played with Jeremy Lin when he had his spotlight.
@@RiruKrypto_ Jeremy Lin is that rare point guard who made others around him look bad. He constantly over penetrates and gets you the ball in bad spots. He has improved since the Linsanity days though.
Never mind back then NOW !!!!
Man, thank you to do this compilation of Hakeem's moves. I was looking for this compilation for a long time...
Hakeem’s balance is amazing. His ability to keep his core stable during all of those moves enables him to finish so effectively.
Hakeem was one of the greatest ever.THANKS Hakeem I enjoyed many hours watching you.
I watched the rockets play when Akeem was In his prime. It is amazing how fast and agile he is for such a large man. He truly deserves all the respect he has earned. God bless.
I'm a 31 year old , 5'5", Filipino basketball enthusiast/player i studied these moves and i was actually able to score off them in actual games. i really learned a lot from the great olajawon. thanks for the video man. hope to see more of these. #FilipinoHooper greetings from the Philippines. :) •

I'm from Houston & we love Hakeem
I watch this every training day💪🏻
by far one of the best videos on these here internets
I'm a 18 year old 5'8 forward in our team and this drill helps me a lot thanks for the video with the Hof Hakeem greetings from philippines.
That's why he is one of the greatest. I thought the same thing, how smooth he looks compared to those younger guys at his age.
what i like about hakeems moves is that none of it relies on strength and size and rely a lot more on mind tricks and footwork
I watched this great player in the 90’s. I’m 5’9 and did these moves on big men cause I was too quick, I did hook shots first before anything else lol. I luv this.
Hakeem is the best center ever.
LekzShowtime no wilts better
Not a shot Kareem
potlimit2002 Olajuwon beat Kareem and the defending champ showtime Lakers in 4 straight games as a 22yr old kid who has just learned basketball! Kareem couldn't stop Dream with young Magic, young worthy, young Rambis, young Micheal Cooper, and Pat Riley as a coach! Olajuwon is easily the greatest center of all time and arguably the greatest player of all time. He's either #1 or #2 greatest defensive player of all time, only Russell comes close, and he's easily a top 5 offensive player in history!
I seen them both live in their prime. No way on God's green earth was Olajuwon a better basketball player than Kareem, period end of story! You're judging older, late 30's Kareem vs prime Olajuwon. If you want to talk about defense and shot blocking the fact is the NBA didn't score block shots as a official stat until Kareem's 5th year in the NBA. If you do the math you will find that Kareem averaged 200 block shots season multiply 200 by the 4 full seasons of Blocks shots, that comes to 800 total (atleast)! Add that to Kareem's total and he blocked more shots than Olajuwon. Another fact is Kareem lead the NBA in block shots 4 times to Olajuwon's 2. Kareem averaged more points, rebounds and assists per game for his career than Olajuwon.. When it comes to NBA titles Kareem won 6 to Olajuwon's 2. Kareem also won 3 College NCAA titles to Olajuwon's 0. Kareem won a NBA title with a 2nd year expansion team. Kareem also shot a higher FG and FT percentage that Olajuwon. Olajuwon never averaged 30 points a game for a season, Kareem did 4 times. Olajuwon never won a NBA scoring title Kareem won 2. Olajuwon's best rebounding season was 14.0 per game, Kareem best year tops that at 16.9 per game. I saw Olajuwon play in person his SR in college when he played at Rupp arena in Lexington KY and he lost that day and was out played by Sam Bowie. Armando there is no stat that backs up your point of view Kareem dominates Olajuwon stat wise. Personally I think prime Moses Malone was also better. Moses is the man that taught Olajuwon his post up game.
potlimit2002 oh OK, so you're telling me if they recorded blocks in the 70's Kareem would have more than Olajuwon! Well what if Olajuwon played during the weak 70's where there were 28 more shot attempts a game? Do you think Olajuwon would have more or less blocks than he does now? More of course! You can sit there and list every stat that Kareem ever accomplished, but without context they're just numbers! When you consider Kareem was getting those stats in the 70's when athleticism was scarce, he didn't even lead his team to the playoffs twice in that weak era! Yet they still gave him an MVP somehow! If it hadn't been for Robertson, Magic, and Worthy, Kareem would have zero rings! You put Olajuwon up against 6'7 Wes Unseld, (the only guy Kareem could beat for a ring back then) and Olajuwon would've made easy work out of him! Hell, Olajuwon would've made easy work out of all Kareem's competition thru the 70's, which were beating Kareem already! You know guys who aren't really that great like 6'9 Dave Cowens or 6'9 Willis Reed, and Olajuwon gave Bill Walton the business in the finals the same year he beat Kareem in 86'! The closest player to Olajuwon's skill set in Kareem's era, at least defensively, was Nate Thurmond, and Nate Thurmond would hold Kareem well below his point avg and fg%! So imagine if Thurmond could score the way Olajuwon could! It would be advantage Olajuwon! Answer me this, could Kareem have taken the 94' Rockets to a championship?! Of course not, and that's the year Olajuwon won a ring with no other all stars and they only player to ever get MVP, Finals MVP, and DPOY in the same season! You can discuss how Olajuwon did in college and even how he did in the 86' playoffs and finals, but you can't ignore that he hadn't even developed his full offensive game yet, and he still lead the entire playoffs in points, rebounds, and blocks while being triple teamed by Kareem, Lucas, Worthy, Magic, Kupchek, Rambis, Parish, McHale, Bird, and Walton!
Hakeem played beautiful basketball in his day. It's funny how he looks the same. He could kill guys in the old man leagues.
Hakeem is moving so strong and so fast. Unbelievable that he's over 50 years old in this video.
Hakeem was my favorite Center of all time. I was born in 1976 so I watched alot of Hall of Famers play, from the 80's & 90's. The Dream could play like a guard quick like a Cheetah. Hak played with his back to the basket & faced his opponent.
Hakeem mastered the art of being a center and post man
Hakeems post moves are incredible, great footwork and basketball IQ, my idol
the touch and muscle memory runs deep in this man... wow
This vid has really helped get better on my post game
Great teacher, Couldn't-Care-Less student.
I just realize how good hakeem was compared to modern center, I believe he will have same achievement if he still play in the modern day nba, respect to the legend
One of the most underrated big men !!!!!!
All the small dets that make a great game. Incredible!
My boy i played center in highschool! Watched since he played for the cougars! The best all around big man of all time!
Greatest post player I have ever seen,...footwork is fantastic
I had a season ticket back in the day, saw all the best big men of that era, on a regular basis...The Dream will always be my favourite!
Footwork is and always has been incredible…Hakeem and Kevin Mc Hale were the best to ever do it in the low post
Dwight's career would've been much different if he'd spent more time practicing in big man camp and less time sliding into 17 year olds' DMs.

I don't think Dwight could and had to master this footwork.
He even stated he'd spend 5 hours practicing learning nothing.
Either it was familiar or he couldn't master it and just learned it.
Best damn center ever - The Dream!!!
Hakeem was so fluid and was an algorithm with his defenders. Read, find vulnerability, exploit. It became effortless for him because he really was seeing things from a superior perspective and processing things with ridiculous speed.
One thing's for sure, Dwight ain't a sponge. 😂
There's always that guy who hears but never listens. 😂
One of my favorite big man of all 💪💪💪 Hakeem Olajuwon
I think Hakeem in his prime would be the best player in NBA today lol
He was the best player in his prime...

Today's players would dominate past eras:

James, Howard and McGee are all teammates now 😂
And none of them use these moves😂😂😂😂
Lebron do but I think it's because the game changed so much they don't really get the ball in tha post
@@antoniodicaprio7792 None of them are getting that many passes in the post. Because today's offense places a lot of emphasis on transition, Dwight and McGee usually get their buckets off a single pass (due to good positioning) so they don't have to use their post moves as often as Hakeem would have had to. Besides, both of them are primarily used for defense, while AD is the Lakers' offensive big.
Wished I learnt myself these kind of moves as a teenager. Now 35 and reentering the game I love. Dunking again in a year.
Thanks for the vid!
When you get taught by a legend that is worth more than gold itself. Unbeatable!!!😉.
Hakeem...as a baller you've got to be in awe with such a great player and personality. Even Shaq admitted: Hakeem was the only one I couldn't break.'..couldn't get into his head.'
The good old touch,so smooth!!!
God bless the vid is awesome
Thank you! I wish I knew all of them when I was in the usa
Hakeem dropping knowledge in this Masterclass to guys half his age who were already stars. Which of the Forwards or Centers he worked with used those skills in games? His ability was so far beyond even high level Forwards and Centers they didn't get it.
I could watch videos like this all...day...

This guy had the Best Footwork I've EVER SEEN for a Center.......
