Hakeem Olajuwon would like to teach Porzingis a few things
Hakeem Olajuwon
HOUSTON —  Hakeem Olajuwon  is now a Rockets adviser who has expressed interest in an ownership stake. So the Nigerian great no longer can run  his  post skills school where  he  once hosted Amar’e Stoudemire as a Knick.
Nevertheless   Olajuwon  said  he  would love to work with 7-foot-3 Kristaps Porzingis  but frankly  the retired Rockets superstar doesn’t think  he  needs much help. Porzingis already has dabbled in attempting the “Dream Shake’’ earlier this season.
“I think [ he  makes it] easy ’’  Olajuwon  said. “ He ’s very skilled  very smart. The height  he  has the advantage in the post. The guy that got skill in the post game   he ’s already amazing. It gets much easier for  him .”
 Olajuwon  missed the chance to see Porzingis live Saturday as the Knicks star sat out the Rockets game at Toyota Center with back stiffness. Porzingis’ improvement this season has been  his  post game — more in the mid-post than deep inside.
“Everyone can always get stronger ’’  Olajuwon  said. “But  he ’s fantastic  always plays with confidence  has a lot of moves  shooting 3s. I think the post game is most important because of  his  length.  He ’s so skilled  he  can do whatever  he  wants on the floor.”
“I’ve tried the Dream Shake  but I wouldn’t say I can do it like  him  ’’ Porzingis said. “Not close.’’
