Scenario: A future Hall-of-Famer calls out his owner
and his GM, demanding a trade; his teammates mutter

With Father's Day just around the corner, we
thought we'd check in to see who might need
the day extended into a week just to see all of his kids. We know that a lot of pro athletes have illegitimate kids (or will soon have some), so we've decided ...

You won’t find a better blog chronicling Houston's
playoff dreams than The Dream Shake, named in honor

of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players List: Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley and John Stockton. Legends of Basketball has reprinted an interview that I did last year with Filip Bondy, the author of Tip-Off: How the 1984 NBA Draft Changed Basketball Forever

I say was because there's no way I
can see our land-locked friend getting up on those

The 2008 Naismith Hall of Fame class includes
several familiar names. Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing ,
two 7-footers who dominated the center position throughout the 80s and 90s, headline the group of seven voted in. Between the two big men, they share six Final Fours and one national title, as Olajuwon led Houston over Ewing’s Georgetown team in 1984. Olajuwon won back-to-back NBA ..

Browsing through the (H)Akeem Olajuwon videos on YouTube
I stumbled across this gem from the NBA Superstars
series. Enjoy The Dream in all his glory, with some of his greatest highlights set to the funky-fresh stylings of Kool Moe Dee pumping out his jam “How Ya Like Me Now.”

This Friday, the Basketball Hall of Fame will
enshrine seven new members: Adrian Dantley, William Davidson, Patrick
Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, Pat Riley, Cathy Rush and Dick Vitale. Each of these inductees has an interesting life story but Olajuwon's is certainly the most remarkable and unlikely.

As I read the Warrior’s feature on Kosta
, I couldn’t help but hope that with Biedrins
and now Perovic, the Warrior’s might address their perennial “get a big man” complex. It is an issue that has haunted the Dubs and lead to make more bad trades, drafts and investments then any of us care to remember.

USA TODAY covered the last two years of
the coin toss — when the top overall pick
was decided by a coin toss between the teams that had the worst record in each conference. The Houston Rockets won the toss in 1983 and took 7-4 center Ralph Sampson, who went on to become rookie of the year. But the Rockets finished last in the West, won the coin toss again in 1984 and drafted 7-0 Hakeem "The ...
