Hakeem Olajuwon: Hall of Famer

[Sheriff Blaylock]

I know the NBA doesn't get much play here but tonight my guy officially entered the NBA Hall of Fame. I've had a ton of sports heart break in my years but the one guy to finish the deal not once but twice was The Dream.

I don't want copy and paste a bunch of stories but here is a good write up from The Chronicle.

(Oh...and way before Pujols owned Brad Lidge there was even a better ownage. Just watch the video)

Hakeem -

One of the only two men to get drafted before Jordan

Great player and I'm happy to see him get in the HOF. He deserves it.

[Bleacher Creature]

Hail to one of te all-time greats.

[moedrabowsky]

Greatest center of my generation.

Hands down.

[STL JA]

I used to love watching the Rockets back in the day with him at center. He was awesome.

It's too bad the Rockets two 90s finals appearances were in the Non-Jordan years. I always wondered how they would match up. Obviously, it hard to bet against Jordan in his prime team, but the Bulls would not have had a good answer for Hakeem.
