How Good Was Hakeem Olajuwon?

[Mr. Ryan]

And he was as good as he was while starving himself to death for a month for his religion.

Yeah, he played during Ramadan and still owned.

My mum was talking to me earlier about him and how they went to the same school and were friends blah blah. I know **** all about NBA, so i'm interested in what knowledgeable NBA fans think of him.

One of the greatest centers and players of all time. All time leader in block shots, by far the most athletic center ever. 2 time NBa champ, no one could stop him one on one.

Olajuwon is a legend at the center position. He wasn't the strongest center but he was very quick and agile for his size. He is the all-time leading block leader because of his timing, and he almost always tipped the ball to himself after getting the swat. He is also one of the all-time steals leaders as well. You have to rank him as the best center of his time ahead of Robinson and Ewing because he was the total package with rebounds, blocks and offense.

He had a good mid-range jumper but he had some of the best low post moves I'd ever seen. He had a move called the dream shake where he he fakes to one side, then moves the other way and makes his move to the hoop. He was awesome.

I'm saying this as a Rockets hater (I grew up a Magic fan).

He took Shaquille O'Neal to school in that finals. The master teaching the apprentice.
Flat out hooped on his ass.

I think he's the second greatest Center of all time behind Shaq.

Better than Wilt.

And the greatest pure low post player of all time.

No big man could ever stop the shake.

I was only fortunate to see Wilt play the last year of his career so I can't evaluate his greatness.
And I was a little kid then, but his numbers were staggering and he could run back in the day.

Hakeem teaching David Robinson a thing or two--a great in his own right:

The Big Dipper averaged 8.6 ASSISTS one year. Wilt was so far ahead of his time, it was crazy.
