Hakeem Olajuwon Hits "Dream Shake" in NBA Africa Game

Hakeem Olajuwon hit his patented "Dream Shake" jumper in the NAB Africa Game at 52 years old.

Hakeem Olajuwon is 52 years old and can still make some moves. Olajuwon checked into the NBA Africa Game this morning for Team Africa and as soon as he got his hands on the ball, he went right to his patented move: the Dream Shake. It rattled around the rim for a bit, but eventually dropped. Dude's 52, he deserves a friendly rim.

Dikembe Mutombo also saw some action today, as both big men clogged the middle of the lane for a few minutes to the delight of the crowd and all the players involved. The game, which is obviously an exhibition, is the NBA's first officially sanctioned game in Africa and comes more than 30 years after Olajuwon became the first African-born player to get drafted by an NBA team.
