Hakeem doesn't taste his first NBA championship without Otis stepping in for Ralph Sampson who was already gone from the Rockets by that time, FACT. One of the most underrated PFs of his era and yet another shining gem taken in that legendary 1984 Draft. Has some of the biggest hands in pro-basketball history as well, made him a dangerous finisher around the rim. Too bad most people only know him as the centerpiece of the trade package that got Clyde Drexler out of Portland and onto another title-winning Rockets team during that 1994-'95 season.
no disrespect AT ALL but otis thorpe didn't equal star clyde drexler so the better part of that 95 trade went to the rockets who wouldn't have won those 2 titles if they didn't have legend hakeem olajuwon
OT just did his job and had a great career.
No load management at that time...500 consecutive games...power forward in the most physical era..thumbs up for the guy
