Hakeem Olajuwon entered the Hall of Fame in the NBA

It seems incredible that the likes of Hakeem Olajuwon were not yet in Hall of Fame of the NBA. But there is that things run slowly. Be long before we see Kobe Bryant go there ...

Yesterday in Springfield (Mass.), the NBA awarded to seven players will join the Hall Of Fame in the NBA, including a trio is that it is already played in 1994 at a NBA Finals.

Patrick Ewing at center and coach Pat Riley was forced to Hakeem Olajuwon and Rockets, as members of New York Knicks, a seventh game in the Finals by the Ring of the NBA. Olajuwon went off with it and won, but now, fourteen years later, they met again to go hand in hand in the Hall of Fame.

Hakeem Olajuwon won two rings in 1994 and 1995, was named MVP in 1994 and was twice best defensive player. It is still the player who has put more caps in the NBA (3830) and is the only player to have exceeded the 3000 cap and the 2000 theft.

Patrick Ewing was 11 times AllStar, twice Olympic gold medalist and won a whopping 24,815 points and 11,607 rebounds during his career.

Pat Riley has won three times the award for best coach of the year in the NBA and is the third winningest coach after Lenny Wilkens and Don Nelson. He has won four NBA championships (four with the Lakers and one with Miami).

Four other members also entered the Hall Of Fame. Adrian Dantley, AllStar six times, and twenty-third in the historical ranking highest scorers, Bill Davidson, former owner of the Detroit Pistons, Dick Vitale, college coach and Cathy Rush, female college coach.
