Olajuwon is generally considered one of the five greatest centers to ever play the game, along with Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Shaquille O'Neal. He was reverentially nicknamed "Hakeem the Dream" for his grace on and off the court. Spalding manufactured white sneakers with red and blue accent colors. “Spalding” logo embroidered on each tongue. “The Dream” embroidered in white on the outside ankle of each sneaker. “34” is on the back of each sneaker in red plastic. Each sneaker is autographed in black and rates an 8. The sneakers show game-use and appear to have no alterations of any kind. The autographs are accompanied by a LOA from JSA.
