Kobe Working With Olajuwon on Post Moves!

This just in readers. Recently as reported by MyFoxHouston, Kobe Bryant spent some time with Hakeem Olajuwon down in Houston recently to work on his Post Moves. Olajuwon was one of the greatest centers and post players the game has ever seen. And it’s obvious that Kobe Bryant wanted to learn the post game from Hakeem to better his play in the paint. Kobe spent a total of 2 hours working out with Olajuwon to better his play. This is what Hakeem had to say about it:

“He gave me the biggest compliment,” Olajuwon said. “(He said) You are the best (at the) mid-post and post move. He wanted me to show my moves to him.”

Olajuwon said his style of play in the paint is really suited for a guy like Bryant.

“In my mind most of my moves for a guy (with) that agility can use it better than the big guy,” Olajuwon said. “Because my moves are not really for the big guy. It’s for the guards and small forwards. So he would benefit most on the post because of his agility. It was so much fun because how he picks it up. I worked with him for two hours, step by step.”

Olajuwon expects Bryant to be even better than he was last season when he led the Lakers to the NBA Championship.

“Adding those moves to his game, watch out for him this year,” Olajuwon said. “I understand his dedication. His desire to win and stay on top. That’s what I respect most about him.”

How cool is it to hear that even after winning an NBA Title, Kobe Bryant is as hungry as ever! And that he actually was humble enough to call up Hakeem Olajuwon and learn the game from him. Incredible! I can’t wait to see Kobe’s new post game in action this season.
