NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon has been working as a development coach for the Houston Rockets all summer, and apparently he already enjoys what he's seeing.
While speaking with Houston's Fox 26, Olajuwon had this to say about the combination of point guard Jeremy Lin and center Dwight Howard.
"Just the little offense I saw, that combination is very deadly and you can see that both of them are very excited seeing that 'wow, we bring the right ingredients together.' When you see players that are dedicated to succeed it gives you that window to see what kind of season that we're looking for... Dwight can clearly dominate this league comfortably. He has everything that he needs and he has desire and work ethic to do it."
Olajuwon also added that it was the performance of Lin to be particularly impressive to him thus far:
"In Aspen I worked with Jeremy Lin a little bit in the post and I was very impressed, he has a nice post move. I said, 'how come you are not using that in a game?' He said, 'I played like that in college.'" Olajuwon noted to the guard that "If you catch those little guys in the game that guard you, your advantage should be in the post."
