The man had a 2-guard game but was 7-foot with big man mentality!

He was the only thing that lessened the pain of my team, being swept

Everybody's got opinions on the way you're living but see they can't fill your shoes... Life is made of half-illusions... forty percent confusion, whatever's left I'm using... to keep myself from losing, yeah.

you see the way he gets a wide stance when he brings down the board and does a power dribble before going up?

nevermind all the pretty hooks and shit

dude just moved entirely different from any big man today doing very simple things like putbacks

but the modern NBA is so wack, lol. And the crazy shit is, Mid-90s NBA was worse than the 80s - early 90s NBA.

There was a time when centers actually did more than rebound and play clean-up defense. *sigh*

You do realize that he was arguably the most dominant big man of the late eighties/early nineties?

Hakeem has always said the "dream shake" was stolen from a soccer move.

I get it, he was working with Melo, but how could you be in the gym while that is happening, and not be RIGHT THERE PAYING ATTENTION?

He's still robotic with his movements, but he was making some progress prior to the injuries this season.

Actually moving along with Olajuwon and having him correct your mistakes as you try and do them is a totally different. And I'm sure the people that paid for the sessions wouldn't want moochers crowding around and getting in their way. If I'm not mistaken, the sessions while cheap relative to NBA paychecks, are pretty limited in time.
