No music today, this week one of the greats was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Hakeem Olajuwon. Watching him play basketball in Houston, both with UH and the Rockets was one of the most memorable sport times in the history of Houston sports. Watching him play was watching brilliance in action. Of the many times night in and night out. The San Antonio play off series stands out. David Robinson was just announced as MVP and Hakeem went out and spanked David, it was like watching a man beat a kindergartener, I actually felt sorry for David, he's such a nice guy, but Hakeem will always be listed as one of the best. A power forward, playing center with the grace of a guard and foot work better than any NBA player.
We miss you Hakeem, we we always remember you and will tell stories to our kids and grandkids. "You should have seen Hakeem play, he was the best"
There will never be another "big" man like you.
Thinking of the Dream Shake,
Brent
