David Robinson was a great player and a classy person. Hakeem was at the top of his game and not just David but Ewing and O’Neal were also outmatched by him.
Dream never stopped working on his game. Remember he was a late comer to basketball from soccer hence footwork. Favorite quote "stay humble, stay hungry"
Announcer- He is running a clinic right now. He is doing everything offensively you could ever teach a big man, and it's all with tremendous footwork..............
There was NO WAY Hakeem was going to be denied in 95. Put some respect on his name!!! Greatest playoff run ever led by a player. 6th seed. No home court advantage. Played against the league MVP. Faced 5 elimination games. Humbled and denied a young prime Shaq his first ring all while being the first option on offense. Hakeem was worn out by 96 (big men don’t last as long in the league as guards especially during a low-post dominated era) and bad management broke up the championship core. With Hakeem being a humble, foreign-born player, the NBA didn’t hype him up the way that he deserved. He is arguably the greatest Center of all time playing in the era of the greatest shooting guard of all time and we we never got to see that match up.
Seen the interview where, I think, Kenny Smith says that Dream didn't talk crap, but after David Robinson won MVP, Hakeem said, " he's just borrowing the trophy". He knew it was gonna get real.
It's more likely that Kenny is just being a hype-man and looking for attention. I don't think Hakeem is that type of person. Any logical person knew Robinson deserved it in 95 given that the Spurs finished with the best record and the Rockets only had 47 wins, so you are really never gonna give a MVP to a 6th seed team that underachieved in the regular season
You could tell how smooth a player is by watching how their opponents move if you see them flail everywhere, you know the player is smooth. Hakeem is the only center that could ever achieve this, especially when it comes to the highest level. Most skilled center of all time.
@@joebasketballhighlights What exactly has Capela done for the rockets in the playoffs? I was not a fan of the trade, but when I thought about, I asked the same question...... My answer was not much
Overrated defender. Should've never been awarded a DPOY over Olajuwon. None of his "mind games", baiting guys into getting T'ed up and taking cheap shots had any affect on Dream. And Horry torched him from 3 this series.
That face up crossover, pull up and step back J by a center is nasty unfair hahah DR34M a 7ft MJ man lol ain't no big ever wit them skillz dawg..Kareem wilt and shaq may be more dominant but they ain't got them skillz son lol and he the defensive goat as well!! Ga damn
Still hate how the commentary did not bring any excitement aside from 1 or 2 plays...Doug freaking Collins with his overanalysing dry ass! We need the Worrell commentary here, it's a Rockets channel so they should have access to it.
to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and will really really HATE david robinson and please tell me how you all about him ever having jeff van gundy lenny wilkens don nelson pat riley or phil jackson as his head coach i did do and/or probably will SOMEWHAT like the spurs and rockets as a whole and i did do and/or probably will really LOVE moses malone and hakeem olajuwon and please tell me how you all feel about jeff van gundy lenny wilkens larry brown don nelson pat riley or phil jackson as the head coach of the legendary hakeem olajuwon
Alot of friends liked mj but to me Olajuwon was the greatest of all time
Yes he is the greatest basketball player ever... Olajuwon I mean
Greatest center of all time
The GREATEST Rocket of all time
No GOAT
Pat Riley is
@@sschevmale24 Michael Jordan is
@@flelite3994 who?
@@williamg7138 Pat Riley lol
Hakeem was a different breed....Go Rockets!
It’s very hard to find Olajuwon games in high quality, would appreciate if you did more videos of his matches.

Olajuwon was 11-5 against Jordan from 84'-93'
i miss houston rockets

legendary described hakeem olajuwon but he never ever equaled kareem abdul-jabbar let alone the goats being wilt chamberlain and bill russell
Hakeem the Dream.... but to David Robinson is Hakeem the nightmare
current Rockets need someone like Olajuwon
That ain't gonna happen.
The one person who thumbed this down, must be David Robinson
Imagine Capela have at least 20% of Dream talent
It was still stupid to trade Capela
@@joebasketballhighlights What exactly has Capela done for the rockets in the playoffs? I was not a fan of the trade, but when I thought about, I asked the same question...... My answer was not much
Joey FL but when season resumes pj tucker will be playing center for the rest of his career
GROAT
Greatest basketball player to ever live
Rodman not paying attention during the timeout just like in game 1

Note, Hakeem was in Ramadan with this performance.
nba3d ya. makes it absolutely insane that one of his best playoff performances ever he was fasting.
Not eating or drinking water
we want a cut of the 17/18 season (merecíamos el anillo)
I'm sorry....which one of these guys was the MVP?😬
It will be dumb to say Robinson

Olajuwon dusted Kareem and Shaq in tee WCF and Finals and Wilt played bums, Olajuwon is the most dominant player in history
