Special bond between Hakeem Olajuwon and myself 

Post#1 » by Lazy Faizy » Sat Apr 19, 2014 5:28 am

Ive been seeing Hakeem Olajuwon at the local mosque for over 20 years... And I've never thought of it as a big deal. I'm a diehard Olajuwon and Rockets fan... Born and raised in Houston. Since I was about 5 I've been meeting/seeing Olajuwon on a regular basis (I'm 26 now)... At Muslim-related events mostly (my family is Muslim, growing up I was too, kind of). Anyway, never once got his autograph or took a picture with him (is that weird?), I only shake his hand and he usually gives me a hug. Im cool like that 8-)

Just thought I'd share. My dad met him again today so I decided, hell, why not share it?

Would be interested in hearing what Dream says about the progress of the Rockets big men he is working with, also how often he is around, does he just stay in Jordan for several months?

Thanks for the honesty.
