During his 18-year career, Nigerian born Hakeem Olajuwon staked his claim as one of the greatest players in NBA history. "Hakeem the Dream" had a storybook season in 1993-94 when he became the first player to be named NBA MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and NBA Finals MVP in the same year. On the front tail of the jersey is the "CHAMPION" exclusive tag, which reads "Designed & Tailored 94/95 Exclusively for Houston Rockets BODY LENGTH +4." Next to that tag is the "CHAMPION" size 48 manufacturer's wash tag. Across the front of the jersey is "HOUSTON" in white tackle twill. Below that and on the back is the player number "34" in white tackle twill. Across the back is "OLAJUWON" in white tackle twill. On the left breast is the official "NBA" embroidered logo. There is an autograph in black marker rating a "9" on the back number "4." The jersey shows game-use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
