Hakeem Olajuwon was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2008. Considered to be one of the best centers in NBA history due to his equally impressive offensive and defensive skills. He won back to back NBA championships and won both NBA Finals MVP awards. He won one regular season MVP award, was voted a 12-time All-Star and was a two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. He is the Houston Rockets all-time leading scorer, leading the way with his patented Dream Shake, and is the NBA all-time leader in blocks. On the front left tail is a strip tag that reads, “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for HOUSTON ROCKETS”. Below is a “MacGregor Sand-Knit” size “44” manufacturer’s tag. Handwritten on this tag in red period faded marker is the player number "34". Adjacent is an “89” year swatch and a “2”LB” alterations swatch. On the right inseam is a tag that reads, “100% NYLON” with washing instructions. On the left chest is an official “NBA” logo embroidered. Across the chest reads, “HOUSTON”. Player number “34” appears on the front and on the back. Across the back reads player name, “OLAJUWON”. All numbering and lettering are done in the same white tackle twill sewn directly onto the red mesh jersey. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate use.
