I was browsing around and came across this pretty funny/cool tshirt for Rockets fans, lol. For those who don't understand they're trying to say I CAME, I SAW, I CONQUERED, but replaced I CAME, with HAKEEM.

anyways, pretty cool, thought I'd share.

I'd buy anything with those colors, bring those jerseys back!

Anyway, that's just sheer awesomeness. I'll get one.

I do like the new jerseys but those old Rocket jersey where the best ones yet and not because the championship.

Shouldn't it be Hakeem, He Saw, He Conquered?
the switch to first person is confusing.

I remember a sign from an old playoff game that said the same thing. That was back when Hakeem was Akeem, though. I think it was A-keem, A-Saw, A-Conquered.

So do you prnounce his name "HA keem" or still "A keem" the way it was before he changed it to the more traditional spelling? I remember when he added the H and believe that he said it was still pronounced the exact same way.

So A keem, I Saw, I Conquered would still sound more in line with the original quote and not be confusing.

I don't think it's a silent H but I do remember there was much confusion when he announced the extra letter.

You might be right that the H isn't silent, but I think it said very lightly.
It definitely isn't HA Keem, but rather hA Keem.
