But I think Olajuwon would particularly thrive in both today's NBA and yesterday's NBA, in addition to thriving in the rough-and-tumble 80s and 90s NBA. Young Hakeem could run up and down in a Warrior system and distribute the ball. The Rockets championship teams were running a modern three-point heavy offense during that physical era. But they were running it through Hakeem in the post.

Like LeBron, for instance he could take over a game when it required, as he did several times in the playoffs, but he was also a great passer with a feel for offense who made the players around him better.
