Living The Dream Hakeem Olajuwon
This is a book about Hakeem Olajuwon. From growing up in Nigeria to winning the NBA championship. It tells about everything in his life, it tells about pick-up games at the Fonde gym, and about Mike Tyson crying. If you are a basketball fan you would love to read about this Nigerian native's story. His story is truly awesome he never even picked up a basketball until he was 17 and now he's one of the best power forward or center who ever played basketball. It talks about getting a visa and playing at the University of Houston and being the first pick in the NBA draft.

ReplyDeleteI'm really interested in what you were thinking about while you read this book. I mean, not having picked up a ball until age 17 is pretty amazing. What did you think about his story while you read it?
ReplyDeleteWow. With a life like that you got to feel proud for yourself.
