Hakeem Olajuwon: Kobe’s Yoda

Dream senses that the force is strong within this one: “Each time he backed down Houston’s Shane Battier in the post and then deftly spun around him for a layup Wednesday night, Kobe Bryant jogged up court staring into the same pocket of fans seated courtside across from the scorer’s table. The man who met his gaze knew exactly the message Bryant was trying to convey. ‘He looked at me to confirm, ‘I’m using what you taught me,” Hakeem Olajuwon said. ‘That was the greatest gift for me. It was wonderful.’”

    Isn’t it just insane that the best offensive player in the NBA just got that much better? Christ..

    That’s funny, Tarzan. I could’ve sworn Kobe hit every clutch basket against Melo and led his team to a championship.

    I love this. Kobe learning from the best center ever was something I didn’t expect but I love it. Kobe is the sh*t.

  • vic21

    Tarzan you really need to pull your head out of your @ss. Seriously.

  • youngmuggsy

    I’m sure he’ll use the moves he’s learnt to force up fadeaways with plenty of time left on the clock..

    I think Dwight had been training with Greg Ostertag this past off season.

    It still amazes me that people keep trying to force the issue when it comes to Kobe and LeBron! LeBron hasnt won a damn thing yet! He is getting there but he is not Kobe yet! Kobe is STILL the better defender! Stop pushing it, LeBron will get there! Kobe is the best COMPLETE player in the L today. I said COMPLETE! Watch the damn games and not sportscenter! LeBron is who the L wants to market now! Kobe’s time has passed as far as that is concerned.

    My enemy’s friend is my enemy. Sorry, Hakeem. My indifference has blossomed into hatred. Buckwheats on both Dream and that other guy to whom he’s teaching his stuff.

    I’m a big Rockets Fan. But I just visited Texas for the first time in my life, recently. And I had to say, the CITY of San Antonio is so waaaay nicer that the city of Houston.

    I hope the Rockets will beat the crap out of the Spurs though.
