[Saba Sports News] Hakeem Olajuwon’s big-man camp, attended by stars like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, is renowned for its impact on player development. However, Gilbert Arenas expressed dismay at Olajuwon’s hefty $50,000 price tag per workout session.
Arenas humorously remarked, “Nobody wants that Hakeem Olajuwon skyhook. You should be ashamed of yourself. Charging these young whippersnappers $50,000. When you came into the league in 1984, you weren’t getting $50,000 a game. You’re trying to make the money back through the youth!”
Hakeem Olajuwon is widely regarded as one of the greatest two-way players and centers in NBA history. His impressive career averages include 21.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 3.1 blocks per game. His exceptional footwork remains a hallmark of his game.
Notably, Giannis Antetokounmpo recently announced his summer training with Hakeem Olajuwon, aiming to refine his post-game skills. Giannis recognizes the need to adapt his playing style as he ages and seeks to improve his back-to-the-basket skills, following in the footsteps of veteran players like LeBron James.
