Still better than 3/4 of the centers playing in the league today unfortunately...

Nice, my favorite player to watch for most of the 90s.

He had his moment in this game but couldn't stay on the floor for more than 3 minutes when he took himself out of the game. Both Dream and Mutumbo looked real old and slow out there.

Right I just mentioned it for anybody who is delusional to think that Dream could still play in the NBA.

He fell off the end of the earth toward the finish of his career.

Would have loved seeing Prime Dream take a wet shit on Jim like he did to Shaq, Ewing, The Admiral, etc. That sucks tbh. :(

Shut the fuck up. Duncan wouldn't allow that and you know it.

Eh Hakeem would get the better of that head to head. Even Amare lit Jim up for 37ppg in a playoff series. He was always a better team defender than a 1 on 1 defender.

Honestly, the main problem isn't age but rather the fact that they haven't played organized fullcourt competitive basketball in many years... Hakeem 13 years and Mutombo 6...

TBH it was Greg Oden that ended Mutmbo's career during the playoffs in '09.

He was always a better team defender than a 1 on 1 defender.True but the game plan was to let Amare score out there and shut down the rest and it worked fine... Tim hangs with young guys at 38-39 man.

Remember when he was "Akeem?"

Back then, he lost every Final Four he ever played in, including to Jim Valvano.

More accurately, it was Akeem Abdul Olajuwon.

First, his full name when he arrived at the University of Houston was Akeem Abdul Olajuwon. Second, while playing for Phi Slama Jama at UH, they lost every Final Four they played in and most famously to Jim Valvano and NC State. He would go on to lose the 1986 NBA Finals. It was only upon changing his name to Hakeem that he started to win titles.

That's what I was saying.

Yeah, he grew up a devout Muslim and is fluent in Arabic. I think the name change was unofficial, though.

you got it all wrong tbh.

It was Akeem Olajuwon and then he changed it to Hakeem Abdul Olajuwon.

Hakeem didn't grow up as devout, he changed his name to Hakeem when he started practicing religion.

Should have consulted a religious individual name first before changing his name to Abdul Olajuwon though.

linguistically, it doesn't make sense at all :lol

Religiously, It's also wrong because to my knowledge Abdul should be followed by God's name, and Olajuwon isn't God's name..

Basically his name is saying I obey and pray to olajuwon instead of God...

Embarrassing mistake :lol

Go watch the Final Four broadcasts, they clearly referred to him as Akeem Abdul Olajuwon back in the mid-80's.

IIRC, he changed him name upon being granted US citizenship.
