Hakeem’s the man! Down to earth too. I used to watch him train Emeka Okafor and other centers at the Lifetime Fitness in Sugarland, TX. This was early in the morning. He’d tell the small group of us fans that we could watch if we stayed quiet and respectful. And we did. Other times he played pick up basketball with us. He always teamed up with the least talented and we would still lose to his team. Thanks for the memories, Dream!
@@NJTDoverpretty ridiculous comment. He won back to back championships and he sustained greatness for over a decade. He wasn’t an attention seeker, didn’t give a sh-- about fame, but any1 who knows anything about the game knows that he was one of the greats.
There is a reason why Jordan had greatest respect for Hakeem. Now people can see why. They were both in their primes here. Hakeem's agility, quickness and timing for a center were out of this world.
Jordan had a game where he blocked Dream about 4 times!! Dream is as skilled and fundamentally sound on offense and defense as anyone who ever played!!
@@eastbee103 true, but never toe to toe. Hakeem hadn't seen him. That doesn't change the fact, that he got blocked 4 times by Jordan. Imo Hakeem and Jordan are the best 2way players ever ( followed by Wilt, who was very dominant due to his height and athletism, but didn't have the skills of them)
@@michalismichalis4286 Jordan got Dream back and there were games where Jordan made Hakeem look goofy out there!! Hakeem had his good moments on Jordan too!!
Olajuwon always proved why he was 1st picked overall ahead of Jordan..if I was a Rockets fan I wouldn't complain even if they passed up chance to get MJ.
This was at the peak of the NBA in my opinion. Early 90’s. And if Jordan doesn’t retire we could possibly of had this as a matchup in the NBA Finals. Fantastic!
I always laugh when people say Houston would not have won 2 championships if Jordan was around! Well he was around in 95! and games like this were common between the 2 teams, with Houston actually leading the series between the two!
@@thouxanbanli2000Over dribbling isn't "evolving" and neither is it entertaining. That ish is extremely frustrating to watch.😅 Not saying that all players do it but you see lots more of it today. It looks like "And 1" and not NBA ball.
The Dream made Jordan look normal. I counted 4 clean blocks against MJ. I never forget going to see the Houston Rockets play against the Bulls in 1984. Jordan and the Dream were rookies. The Rockets had the twin towers Dream and Ralph Sampson.
Hakeem was so dominant on defense. His positioning, timing, anticipation, quickness, tenacity and motor were all very impressive. Jordan always went into his moves so quickly, exquisite footwork and balance. Mad Max looked like MJ with that finish lol. All these guys were so athletic and competitive. Mad Max, Hakeem, MJ and Pippen were some of the best pure athletes in the NBA at this time. And would still be top tier athletes in todays game.
thanks for sharing! Jordan, Olajuwon, Pippen - so smooth, so competitive. three pointers stretch the court - yet, skill level of a distant three pointer are max at four (out of ten) when compared to these guys' footwork, movements, passing, layups, mid-jumpers. i guess that's why we are not no longer glued to a game like we were.
Jordan blocked Hakeem a couple of times too,.. this one went down to the wire with a nice walk off block by The Dream..yes its just one game, and its amazing that Michael Jordan won 6 NBA titles in an era of big men while NEVER HAVING AN ALL STAR BIG MAN on his team.. and having a tough road just to get to the Finals through a beast Eastern Conference.

My favorite SG and Center. Amazing talent not just all athleticism like today's game. Hate seeing all those 3's. Miss REAL POST MOVES AND FOOTWORK. Today's game has NONE of that because of LeBron he NEVER developed ANY of it. Which is why he shall NEVER be called the Greatest of all time. These young kids are watching him when they should be watching old clips or Jordan Kobe and Hakeem
Yes! Lebron has degraded the game with his lower the shoulder, drive his defender back, put up ugly shot, cry foul, rinse & repeat. Nowhere near MJ's skill, footwork, and artistry. He would have made a great tight end and defensive end or outside linebacker in the NFL, playing both ways as they do in high school football. Instead, he plays football in the NBA.
No way the Bulls would have beat the 94 and 95 Rockets. They had Kenny Smith and Vernon on this team. But you add Sam Cassell and Big Shot Rob. That front court of Olajuwon and Thorpe was just too tough. Nothing against Avery Johnson, but he wasn't the deep ball threat Cassell was.
In this game, Olajuwon got the upper hand. Jordan was also one of the few to repeatedly block Hakeem in games too. There’s a game from the year before with Jordan blocking Hakeem 2-3 times on the same play. They loved going at one another. You could tell how pumped Hakeem was to play the Bulls.
There’s another game from earlier in this season or the year before where Jordan blocks Hakeem a bunch of times in the same game, with authority. You can tell Hakeem Is pumped up for revenge here.
The new era isn't more skilled at all. I think it's because point guards in this new era are score firt mentality. Moreover, the ball handlers do excessive dribbling and everyone shoots threes. I'm not even gonna use Iverson, Magic, White chocolate, magic, Tmac, Webber, etc. Remember how skilled Pistol Pete was😮
Houston drafted Hakeem over Jordan and nobody ever gives them sh*t for it. That’s how good Hakeem was.
They drafted Olajuwon because he was very talented, and they needed a great center. The big E retired, and Caldwell Jones left after 83-84 season. They didn't need a guard like Mike! They drafted Olajuwon (C) to pair him with Ralph Sampson (PF)!

Vernon Maxwell was NICE!!! Olajuwon was a phenomenom!!! MJ still the GOAT!
People never talk about how Jordan got creamed and showed up by Olajuwon here!
In this game, Olajuwon got the upper hand. Jordan was also one of the few to repeatedly block Hakeem in games too. There’s a game from the year before with Jordan blocking Hakeem 2-3 times on the same play. They loved going at one another. You could tell how pumped Hakeem was to play the Bulls.
Mad Max was killing them..
Hakeem shut down Micheal like he was in Rookie season jeez
There’s another game from earlier in this season or the year before where Jordan blocks Hakeem a bunch of times in the same game, with authority. You can tell Hakeem
Is pumped up for revenge here.
Vernon maxwell dismantling the bulls.
The new era isn't more skilled at all. I think it's because point guards in this new era are score firt mentality. Moreover, the ball handlers do excessive dribbling and everyone shoots threes.
I'm not even gonna use Iverson, Magic, White chocolate, magic, Tmac, Webber, etc.
Remember how skilled Pistol Pete was😮
Don't you miss this kind of game?
90s hardball games real..despite of todays mix with flops😂😅
ROCKETS ALL THE WAY!!!!
Hakeem The Dream
