10 Hakeem Olajuwon Moments Fans Never Forget

Hakeem is the true GOAT and I'm tired of pretending that he's not. It's not always how many you win, it's how you win!

Easily my favorite center of all-time! Arguably the most skilled big in NBA history, played both ways masterfully, led by example and an incredible person on top of it all.

I'm with you on Hakeem being the best big of all time. Best footwork of any center hands down.

Hakeem Olajuwon is the greatest basketball player I've ever seen with my own eyes in my own time. He's the GOAT to me based on his extraordinary ability and impact on both ends of the court. Only Jordan had the impact on offense and defense that Olajuwon did. Olajuwon's defense was more impactful because he did it from the center position. He defended the entire court. For a long time, he was not only the all-time blocked shot leader, but he was also in top 10 in steals. Ask Michael Jordan about him.

David Robinson is my favorite center growing up, but I give much love to Hakeem for being unstoppable and the best center of the 90s. He beat Robinson, Ewing, O'Neal for his championships, gotta give credit for his dominance on defensive end the most, and embarrassing them with his trademark Dream Shake, one of the unstoppable moves of all time.

Kennyˋs quote of Hakeem „I‘m going to his house to get my MVP“ brought a big smile to my face… legendary….hahaha…. Hakeem is beside of MJ THE definition of Basketball…

Hakeem is the most underrated star of my time.

Hakeem The Dream Olájuwon Is the best center of all time.

Hakeem is the starting center of "my starting five"... Amazing player, loved to watch him play. The Dream, a well deserved nickname :)

Hakeem was truly legendary. I think he is underrated. Poor Robinson. He looked so miserable in the interview

I thought that only Reggie Lewis had blocked Michael Jordan's shot 4 times in a game! Thanks for letting me know that Hakeem did that feat as well! Hakeem GOAT of big men!

I always tell folks that Michael Jordan is a shorter version of Dream and Dream is a taller version of MJ. They had the same drive, mentality, leadership ability, fundamental base which allowed them to be as creative as possible and offensive and defensive dominance. The only difference is that MJ had Pip.....

Best Center in history for me 💪🖤

MJ is the goat but I've never thought Houston taking Hakeem #1 over Jordan in 84 was a bad move..... Portland on the other hand 🤦🏼‍♂️

THE DREAM!!!! My all time favorite player

The 🐐 at C, nobody was better!!!!!!!

Hakeem is far and away the best center of all time. I always laugh when people say Kareem or Russell or Wilt when none of them were anywhere close to both the offensive and defensive juggernaut Hakeem was. His game would also transition seamlessly to any era unlike the others. If he played today he'd make Joel Embiid look like Elden Campbell. It's a shame he didn't walk into a championship-ready organization and stay on one for basically his whole career like a Wilt and Kareem and Russell or he could have had way more than 2 rings, well and if MJ wasn't around lol. Hakeem is hugely undervalued in the all-time greats discussion. I get Russell and Wilt were important for the NBA in their time but Hakeem would absolutely smoke either of them regardless of when they played. His talent was so refined and polished. He was basically a 7 foot MJ.

Its been so many years gone by but i still miss Hakeem play. He was my favorite player in the 90s or All Time.. I got a heart for Centers.... Not these new school Centers but the old school Centers.

Most underrated Big Man of all time

My favourite Hakeem moment will always be the block on Starks. In one moment, he showed his superhuman foot quickness, blocked a guard who was literally running in the opposite direction (a GUARD) and won us our first championhip........ And because at the time my tv signal was so bad that I had to see Rudy T running with his arm raised to understand we had just forced a game 7. I will never forget that moment.
