Hakeem Olajuwon is widely considered as one of the greatest centres to ever touch a basketball and was known for moving in the post effortlessly which got him the nickname "The Dream". He led the Houston Rockets to back-to-back championships in 1994 and 1995. Those are the only years when Houston won an NBA title.

He was also known for his defensive skills and was a 2-time back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year. Hakeem was also a 5-time All-Defensive First Team and 4-time All-Defensive Second Team member and caused nightmares to the opposing offences.

He had a legendary game against the Golden State Warriors in 1990 when he recorded 29 points, 18 rebounds and 11 blocks to beat the visitors in a blowout fashion. He fell one assist short of a quadruple-double, to go along with 5 steals.
