Hakeem Olajuwon vs Shaquille O'Neal EPIC Game 4 Duel Highlights 1995 NBA Finals - MUST SEE

Yeah them boys Twoston💪🏿

The rockets where playing todays game with how they shot the three ball , and were very efficient. One of the few teams who could play in any era 🚀

Those two Rockets Championships, Olajuwon dominated against other dominant Centers of the time in the Playoffs, like Patrick Ewing in the 93-94 Finals, David Robinson in the 94-95 Western Conference Finals, and Shaquille O'Neal in the 94-95 Finals. He was one of my favorite players back then, and in my opinion, one of the all-time greatest Centers that constantly gets overlooked.

With respect to Jokic if he can dominate today's NBA Hakeem can also do it in today's era

Shaq can’t win dunking all day, he had no mid range or fade, that’s why he needed stone cold killas like Kobe and wade to hit those difficult contested shots that he was not capable of

Arenas forgotten who ola was😂😂

Olajuwon is arguably the Greatest center ever, but he swept a young Shaq and prime Shaq is the most dominant force we have ever seen. Hakeem would have major problems trying to guard Prime Shaq!!!

The Dreammm 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

Those Handcheck, no 3 seconds rule and the call for travel are exactly what makes the player great during that era,
it makes scoring so tough compared to the frequent carry and travel we see nowadays

When you draft the dream over the goat with the #1 pick and nobody argues the pick

Credit to HOH for not using a clickbait title for what was indeed a duel between two all-time greats. A seasoned, savvy Hakeem vs a young but scarily dominant Shaq.

Crazy how first play used to be a travel

Hakeem's foot work is similar to Jordan's and kobe's. I don't know who started it though him or mj.

That's crazy. I didn't know Shaq was an NBA final loser before the Lakers.

Smooth

Shaq defends really poorly, he doesnt press on Olajuwon when he has the ball.
Olajuwon can post like in training, he doesn't have pressure at all, the only thing that disturb him is doubling him when he has the ball in post but that's really poor defense from Shaq who could really disturb him physically with his weight.

Those two seasons without MJ was game for centers

No contest, Hakeem put shaq in his place

I forgot how smooth was Hakeem

I keep saying you give me The Dream, Timmy, Pippen, Jordan, Penny, and I would challenge anyone from any era in a best of 7 anytime every time

Hakeem finished top 10 in 5 major categories. Steals, rebounds, blocked shots, scoring, and shooting percentage

My GOAT center....Hakeem was a Beast. Do your homework on Kobe studying Olajuwon's footwork

GOAT

Hakeem with his all timer defense, all timer post foot work, great range of moves and shots and Shaq with his size and uncalled offensive fouls. A battle for the ages!

My favourite 2 years of the nba was watching Hakeem (and the water boys) win it all!

Super smooth for a center

Shaq took his first three teams to the NBA finals. That’s incredible.

my all time 5-man team with Defense and fit:
1. Curry
2. MJ
3. Kawhi
4. Duncan
5. Hakeem

anyone listing two of MJ-Kobe-Lebron in a single team are your average nephews who were born just yesterday.

I loved watching Shaq get dominated.

Man i miss the NBA.. not this product were seeing today. Real ball, full court press,, fast breaks refs swallow the whistles and let them bang at it, awesome! and.. when a 3 does drop it actually means A LOT not like today lol

Im not respecting any top 5s with no hakeem in it

Shaq.Ewing e Robson. Olajuwon no alge da carreira ganhou de todos. O melhor pivô que eu vi jogar!

Na final de 1995 Olajuwon, um dos maiores da história, destruio Shaq.

The time frame when MJ ran away from the NBA.

even at that time, they need triple or double team Shaq, imagine prime Shaq play right now.

Tough time to be a center

Keem took that boy to school 🏫

Magic. Jordan. Bird. Duncan. Hakeem. There is no team beating this team. None. Hakeem was a NIGHTMARE. People don’t get it. That’s one impressive plumber smh these kids and the internet man. Hakeem is a problem in any era under any rules. Both sides of the ball.

Olajuwon was so good it was ridiculous. Other than WIlt Chamberlain, he's the best Center in NBA history.

Where's Kenny Smith.
Oh yeah, he's getting The Dream some water

Damn it was still good to watch ole NBA

Dunno why, first time ever I see how this The Dream while playing. I think he is the best center of that era

I agree with Hakeem, that was good for Clyde to get that ring…

Yes, Hakeem could play and dominate today. No question….

Shaq is awesome ,, Olajawon was the best of that era !!! Unstoppable , mic drop 🎤🎤🎤

3-0 Houston before this game. Robert Horry would win a 3rd NBA crown with San Antonio(who was defeated 4-2 in WCF before meeting Orlando) in 1999. Hakeem made up for a 1986 final that went to Boston with 2 NBA titles(1994,95)...
