He took him to school. I think Hakeem loved to play the best centers. Like he would step his game to another level. I remember Robinson looked defeated like there's nothing I can do.
I was 11 years old and watched that live on TV, I was already a fan of his because he was so good, but that was one of the games I thought he might be the greatest center of all time.
Excuse Jordan do fouls, has a dirty style. Hakeem never push or charge. There Is no comparison. I'm not saying he Is better than Jordan. For me Bill Russell is better than him.
Man, this man moved like water! So smooth and QUICK! He also never admired what he did, he would just do it and then he is gone to get back on defense! The ULTIMATE professional!
No era of fans or players disrespects the dream. His game was pure his athleticism underrated he would also fit right into 2024 as a playmaking big who can stretch the floor with his wet shot and defend guards. Textbook greatness build good hands can tip the ball, nobody ever said hes a bust and he was drafted above MJ and everyones coll with that
This guy is just unbelievable. I hope he got to teach Wemby some moves. Miss seeing him play. He was my fave center, and I was fortunate to see him play in the 80s.
The year that the Rockets beat the prime Magic’s Lakers to get to the finals was unbelievable… it was tough to lose to the Celtics in the finals… it was impossible to go thru TWO dynasties in the same playoffs to win the chip.
People from Chicago try to get Houstonians, saying "I bet you wish you'd chosen Jordan." Nope, Jordan didn't win two championships with NO OTHER ALL-STARS on the team. By the time we got Drexler, he was still plenty good, but no longer an all-star. He was our U of H star and we were more than happy to keep him in town.
Larry Bird and the Celtics took down Hakeem in the 86 finals. Larry Bird is top 5 all time. I remember watching the 86 finals. I was 15, and wasn’t a fan of either team. I was a Jordan fan. But I was rooting for the Rockets in that series. It was then I realized how great Bird was.
Most people don't realize the celtics (during Bird era) don't have a winning record against Lakers, 76ers, and Pistons in the playoffs. Hey remember when Magic said the piston champ was weak because they didn't beat a healthy celtics team. Hahaha keep in mind rockets didn't have their entire starting line for the entire 1986 playoff run. Hakeem beat the 86 Lakers in a gentleman sweep without their starting PG. While the Lakers had Magic Johnson at pg. Funny Magic couldn't take advantage of this. The 1986 Celtics had to resort to dirty play to get past Hakeem. Let that sink in for a second. Bird had the ref (yes the refs were clearing helping the celtics), home court advantage, and the superteam. Yet still had to resort to dirty plays against Ralph to take him out of the game in order to "beat Hakeem". Funny people give LeBron a hard time for a 8 pt finals game. When Bird has two 8 pt finals game. There's a reason bird didn't win every FMVP. Hahaha!!!
My all time Nigerian Lineup among Past and current Players C Hakeem PF Giannis SF Iggy SG Dinwiddie PG Oladipo Second Team C Bam PF Precious SF OG SG Okorro PG Gabe Vincent 💯💯💯🏀
No. Hakeem wouldn’t have any rings if Jordan didn’t retire. Chicago’s record vs the Rockets tell you everything you need to know. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Lol Hakeem is the most skilled center ever. Facts, my favourite center too. However, Michael was the best player and the blueprint for every guard (and sports brand) since he came into the league. I don’t see anyone queuing up for the Dream 7s 😂
That beat down of Robinson was the craziest performance I ever saw
😤😤
He took him to school. I think Hakeem loved to play the best centers. Like he would step his game to another level. I remember Robinson looked defeated like there's nothing I can do.
And robinson is no joke
I was 11 years old and watched that live on TV, I was already a fan of his because he was so good, but that was one of the games I thought he might be the greatest center of all time.
What a perfect footwork the man had in the basketball court. He did miracles in the court that nobody would do.
😤😤
Guess who reached out to learn foot work? Kobe bryant!
till this day, theres no Big man who moved like Hakeem. Legend.
😤😤
Jokic is the closest to Hakeem, unfortunately the Joker had maybe an ounce of The Dream’s athleticism
Jokic does and he probably will drop 50 on him
The 7 foot version of MJ.
🐐🔥
Jordan is the 6'6 version of Olajuwon.
Excuse Jordan do fouls, has a dirty style. Hakeem never push or charge. There Is no comparison. I'm not saying he Is better than Jordan. For me Bill Russell is better than him.
@@simonemiglioli1165 Lol. There were 12 teams when Russell played.
And he wasn't even 7ft
All I gotta say is THE DREAM💯 and he was giving out work to all the legends and I mean all of em😂😂😂😂
these are not highlights. It's 10 minutes of multiple crimes and assaults being carried out against helpless victims...
Hakeem was a beast. Best foot work in the game
All Time Great⭐️
Man, this man moved like water! So smooth and QUICK! He also never admired what he did, he would just do it and then he is gone to get back on defense! The ULTIMATE professional!
Hakeem was able to achieve this while fasting during Ramadan.
Probably what made him better
He ate & drank, just kept it on the down low. Also got permission from local Imam. Ramadan fasting isn't healthy or Biblical anyway
Best big man ever.
One of the best.. But yeah 1 A..
Hakeem olajuwon was a beast he can do it all
You know he's good when he gets drafted ahead of MJ and no one says they screwed up. Sam Bowie on the other hand....
here in france he was a legend in 90's !! very strong very very strong all the way...

Hakeem Olajuwon was one of a kind who can play basketball with some passion. He was the most versatility centers in the league.🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
😤😤
Oh yeah
I said it before and I will say it to the end of days: if Hakeem would have been the Bulls Center, they would have won all Finals in the 90s...
💯💯
You don't have to say that, that's a no brainer
Or Rockets trade Ralph Sampson to the Blazers for their 1st round pick and draft Hakeem and Michael 1 and 2. Missed opportunities
Do you have more Rockets Jazz footage featuring Olajuwon matching up against Eaton ?@@UnderTheClip1
Might be the dumbest most obvious statement I’ve ever heard lmao
"Olajuwon bullying everybody"
90 seconds in, he is still on David Robinson
Maybe you missed the one right after where he straight up two hand jams right in Kareem's face?
So underated! To me he is the best center of all time
For me, he’s the best center. Best shot blocker. He not 7 footer. He’s just around 6’11 but he’s a monster
LOW POST BEAST.........!!!!!!!
🐐📪
This was my best big man of all time before Shaq developed and dominated. This brother here is the best skilled big man of all time
I’d pick Hakeem over any center all time
This guy is just unbelievable. I hope he got to teach Wemby some moves. Miss seeing him play. He was my fave center, and I was fortunate to see him play in the 80s.
🐐🐐
Notice in over 90% of the videos No restriction circle!
The Dream and Jordan Changed the game in the same draft class
One word: UNSTOPPABLE!
Dont forget his defense!
Just imagine Hakeem and MJ. Both play all out on both ends of the floor
Deadly Combination🐐
The most exciting center I’ve ever seen! He would be my starting center. My backup would be Kareem.
The year that the Rockets beat the prime Magic’s Lakers to get to the finals was unbelievable… it was tough to lose to the Celtics in the finals… it was impossible to go thru TWO dynasties in the same playoffs to win the chip.
Prime Lakers? No. The '85 and '87 Lakers were better than the '86 Lakers who lost to the Rockets. The '86 Lakers were lacking in power forward.
Hakeem olajuwon low post 📫 scientists
An Absolute Monster! 📪
Jogava muito

That was Hakeem’s second year
@@TurdFerguson-jb6qt true, but his squad was good enough to beat The lakers with Magic and Kareem to make the finals so no excuses.
Bird is not better than Hakeem

Hey at least we'll know what Stephen Curry fans will look like in a few decades thanks to Bird fans.
Sorry guys u mean 6ft10 super quick the best
Just imagine if he played like this today era with social media around
Hakeem used to COOK Shaq
Good compilation but I found the visual effects you added to be obnoxious.
🗣️THANK Y👤U , MAN . HAKEEM OLAJUWON IS THEE BEST CENTER EVER . THEE # 2 BEST OVERALL PLAYER▶️ EVER . ONLY AFTER THEE G.🐐.A.T. MICHAEL JORDAN .>🎤 🏀🗑️
What.all.thesr.praise.for.akeeem.now.when.he.was.playing.and.domnating.there.wete.no.praise.for.this.man.funny.uh
Huh, akeem was always a problem. Do you mean how mainstream do?
I wish he had a prime wade, Kobe, Oscar, magic or pippen beside him
A prime Drexler or Sampson would've been just fine.
Pippen 😂😂😂😂
young cats have a hard time guarding jokic today, how they gon guard dream?
you know he’s the only center that could guard Jokic well?
Oooo almost
Nice try
Maybe next time
My all time Nigerian Lineup among Past and current Players
C Hakeem PF Giannis SF Iggy SG Dinwiddie PG Oladipo
Second Team
C Bam PF Precious SF OG SG Okorro PG Gabe Vincent 💯💯💯🏀
You can pick him before MJ and that is never a big problem about it. He was more better than Jordan.
He was more better than your grammar
No. Hakeem wouldn’t have any rings if Jordan didn’t retire. Chicago’s record vs the Rockets tell you everything you need to know.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Lol
Hakeem is the most skilled center ever. Facts, my favourite center too.
However, Michael was the best player and the blueprint for every guard (and sports brand) since he came into the league.
I don’t see anyone queuing up for the Dream 7s 😂
Are you playing mind games or something? What does more better even mean?
2 different positions
Just taller imagine if Jordan was his ht too
Reminds me of Giannis
🔥
You mean Giannis reminds you of Hakeem. 😉
2 best centers ever in the NBA Hakeem and David
monster
There was no checking this dude, he always found a way to break ya down..
