Lateral movement.
Man, that's Dream–he's f'g with😀😀😀 A truly beautiful human and great player🤣
Hey Adam silver, listen to Hakeem, blocking a shot is the thing he liked the most. Defense is what we want to see, it's so much more exciting to see a steal or block than a jump shot.
I'm a simple man, I see Hakeem on Youtube, I click like.
Moses taught Hakeem, Hakeem taught Kobe.
Gratitude
Omg! My 2 Goats in one interview! Lets go H-Town! DR34M and Slim Reaper , Kev I coulda swore you picked up a few niiice low block moves to add to your arsenal! Sheeesh lets go! 🚀🚀🚀🚀
University of Houston & University of Texas
Use to destroy shaq 😂
Hakeem looks so youthful….
Baddest MF center ever
HAKEEM is the "GOAT" of CENTERS! no doubt
KD a real hooper man! Bro breaking down the 1984 title game (Houston vs NC State)
Ayeyoooo
KD just looks so happy talking to Hakeem, it warms the heart.
Ime Udoka an Igboman of Nigeria. Houston is flooded by Nigerians everywhere. We love Houston as a city and most of our businesses are located there
#KD💯🚀
Not this is homage and mutual respect youngsters. Pay attention to the formula.
Hakeem and Kd at the 5 and 4 would be unstoppable
2 goats 🐐
Thank you KD. This was one of my favourite conversations ever
Jordan, Clyde and Hakeem on the same team !!
16:22 just like two musicians discussing Jazz
That '94 & '95 Houston team is the only team that could've beat MJ BULLS TEAM! they had everything + HAKEEM was as dominant as MJ. at that particular time
KD basketball mind is astronomically genius true student and respect for the game of basketball…
The stats doesn't even include his college accomplishment .. The Dream!
KD’s love for the game is beautiful you can tell he’s a REAL student of the game
This interview means something to me , man.
KD I really hope you do more of these. Straight hoop talk
Love this KD 🙌🏾💪🏾🔥
5:07 Love the Fonde mention!!! Legendary gym that’s seen so many greats come through🤘🏾
I'm so tired of this trend of increasing guards heights over the years. Every 6'3 point guard growing up seems to have miraculously become 6'5. Charles Barkley is somehow supposed to be 6'4 or 5 and so is Dennis Johnson? No way.
0:41 "LEDGEND"
KD funds the IDF who’s outside committing genocide btw
its time for KD x KG, undoubtably would be the greatest podcast/interview in NBA history two legends
I wish Wanda was there at the end. I heard Hakeem Olajuwon was her crush back then 😄 Great interview by KD! We need a whole series with him interviewing more legends of the game.
Any interview with the Dream is a must watch but I enjoyed this one shame it was so short.
Dream is/was the official home team 🤘 "King of Footwork!”
this was an epic watch !!!!
Smiling watching this like a lil kid In the candy store unlimited gems 🔥🔥🔥
I can't get over how good this interview is. It's natural, chill and just down to earth.
I like how easily and often Hakeem laughs. Seems like a warm dude …you can tell he respects KD just as much
They are both 1 of 1 as far as anything we’ve seen on Earth
One of the few times KD will ever come off like a regular sounding fan.
-Top 10 ever
-Best defender ever
-Tied with Jordan for best two way player ever
-Leader all time in blocks
-Quadruple double
-Only in history to win MVP+FMVP+DMVP on the same season
-Probably the best Ring ever (coming from #6 seed)
Peace to The 1984 and 1996 NBA Draft Classes.
Peace to 2003 as well.
Nice
"Embiid has everything" – Hakeem The Dream
