Watching Hakeem Olajuwon Until I'm Impressed..

Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon’s inclusion in this part of the list needs no explanation. He’s one of the best big men ever. You could quibble about Olajuwon only winning his two NBA titles while Michael Jordan was retired, but if you do, you don’t understand how hard it is to win a championship. Olajuwon was not only the MVP for both of those NBA Finals appearances, but he also took home a league MVP in 1994, appeared in 12 All-Star games, is the NBA’s all time leader in blocks with 3,830, and is a member of the NBA’s 75th anniversary team. It’s still bewildering to watch old highlights and see how smooth Olajuwon, a true dominant force on both sides of the ball, was able to move in the paint for a player his size. Even more impressive for the context of Olajuwon’s career is that he did all of this while big men ran the NBA (outside of Michael Jordan). The Dream Shake will forever be one of the most iconic moves in NBA history and for that, we will always be thankful for Hakeem Olajuwon.
