The NBA named the Nigerian born Hakeem Olajuwon as one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996-97 in conjunction with the league's 50th anniversary. Showing remarkable agility, moves and shooting touch for a big man, Olajuwon led the Houston Rockets to the only NBA championships in franchise history. In 1993-94 he had a storybook season, becoming the first player to be named NBA MVP, NBA Defensive Player of the Year and NBA Finals MVP in the same season as Houston won its first NBA championship. On the left front tail of the jersey is the "Champion" exclusive label with the year "94 95" and "Body Length +4." Next to this is the "Champion" label with the size 48." Across the front of the jersey is the name "Houston" and on the back is the name "Olajuwon." The player number "34" appears on both the front and back of the shirt. On the upper left front is the "NBA" patch and on the back number "4" is an autograph which rates a 9. The shirt comes with a team letter and the autograph comes with a letter from PSA/DNA.
