Speaking now in the strongest of the NBA center, people immediately think of the Lakers of Shaquille O'Neal. In fact, 14 years ago, deserves the title is Houston Olajuwon, Ewing and even though at the time, "Admiral," Robinson is in the peak of his career, O'Neal's strength has burst on the scene clues, but can not be compared with Hakeem Olajuwon. At the time Olajuwon powerful, he not only basket of endeavor, beyond the restricted area as accurate jump shot, and dribbling skills and speed of penetration and the Players as another sensitive and rapid. Of course his favorite is "one on one" the usual "Dream Shake," dodge of rival, and time-tested. The face of strong enemy, Olajuwon first ball swinging around, then the axis of toes of one foot, suddenly turned around, they easily get rid of opponents layup. As Olajuwon the nickname, "Akeem The Dream", therefore this trick is called "Dream Shake." Olajuwon is the unique skills lead the Rockets took the championship twice. This is mainly because of his point guard with good ball skills as not only crotch dribble speed, dodge opponents timing has got just about right. In addition, Olajuwon to a foot when the body axis swivel balance quite well and never had the ball for center of gravity broken opponents mistakes.
The Dream Shake was extremely difficult to defend, much like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook.The Dream Shake's closest modern equivalent comes from Kevin Garnett, whose moves have less variety and include some perimeter action.
Olajuwon established himself as a great offensive player during his career, perfecting a set of fakes and spin moves that became known as his trademark Dream Shake. Executed with uncanny speed and power, they are still regarded as the pinnacle of "big man" footwork. Shaquille O'Neal stated: "Hakeem has five moves, then four countermoves -- that gives him 20 moves."The Dream Shake made Olajuwon nearly unguardable for most of his career, because "big men" were not quick enough and guards not strong enough to stop him. Olajuwon himself traced the move back to the soccer-playing days of his youth. "The Dream Shake was actually one of my soccer moves which I translated to basketball. It would accomplish one of three things: one, to misdirect the opponent and make him go the opposite way; two, to freeze the opponent and leave him devastated in his tracks; three, to shake off the opponent and giving him no chance to contest the shot."
In 1994 he became the only player in NBA history to win MVP, Finals MVP and Defensive Player of the Year awards in the same season. He was the first foreign-born player to win the league's MVP award
Michael Jordan stated“ If I had to pick a center [for an all-time best team], I would take Olajuwon. That leaves out Shaq, Patrick Ewing. It leaves out Wilt Chamberlain. It leaves out a lot of people. And the reason I would take Olajuwon is very simple: he is so versatile because of what he can give you from that position. It's not just his scoring, not just his rebounding or not just his blocked shots. People don't realize he was in the top seven in steals. He always made great decisions on the court. For all facets of the game, I have to give it to him. ”
