A Testament to Greatness

In the annals of basketball history, few players have left as indelible a mark as Hakeem Olajuwon. During the 1995 NBA Finals, Olajuwon showcased his extraordinary prowess by earning his second consecutive NBA Finals MVP award. Averaging an astounding 32.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game, he led the Houston Rockets to victory against the Orlando Magic, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest centers in the history of the game.

The Iconic Jersey

This remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia is a testament to Olajuwon’s legendary career. The jersey, a vibrant red mesh, features the iconic “HOUSTON” emblazoned across the chest, with the player number “34” prominently displayed on both the front and back. The name “OLAJUWON” graces the back, all crafted in pristine white tackle twill.
