This is why Hakeem Olajuwon is a goat and tbh I rank him above Kareem.
Lebron, Kobe, Yao, Dwight, Wemby, KD…….. all of these men received 1on1 training, well into their professional career, from Hakeem Olajuwon, who helped guys like Kobe and LeBron and Wemby gain perimeter skill, teach them how to use their body in the paint and allow these guys (the vets) to extender their playing career as they adjust from “high flying dunking and driving into paint” to dream shake and fade away shots. Just look at wemby season compared to his past years. He realized quick Hakeem can help him, sooner than later.
Hakeem Olajuwon is a legend walking among men. This man, as humble as he is, is walking 🐐.
Legend to legend dope, wish it was longer with KD going basketball nerd with questions
