This is yet another explosive news. Although Dream averaged only 11.9 points and 7.4 rebounds per game last season, and almost retired due to a blood disease caused by blood clots in his calf, ultimately, Hakeem Olajuwon remains a superstar of great fame.
In 1994, when that 18-year-old boy challenged Dream, people never thought that one day these two guys would play ball together.
Current star players still care about appearances. Hakeem Olajuwon felt a bit embarrassed facing the fans after leaving Houston, let alone host any live broadcasts. He could only ask his agent to convey his feelings through the media.
"Hakeem has lived in Houston for 20 years. The thought of leaving here tears his heart apart. But many say he's old, say that he's done, and say he will never win another championship. For a top athlete in the sports industry, these voices are unbearably harsh. Therefore, Hakeem pleads with Houston fans to give the 37-year-old him this last chance for recklessness."
