Ever imagined Hakeem Olajuwon's Dream Shake being used by NBA stars Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin?

The affable Hall-of-Famer of Houston Rockets fame said in a recent exclusive interview with nicekicks that he wants to see NBA forwards Kevin Durant from Oklahoma City and Blake Griffin from Los Angeles Clippers with an improved post game and that both can benefit under his tutelage.

“He’s very skilled, but doesn’t take advantage of his height in the post” said “The Dream” of the Thunder’s franchise player.

“He’s much taller than most of the guys who guard him. He’s got all the outside game, but now he needs to take them in the post.”

In the same interview, he also mentioned that the other player who needs to improve his post-play is Blake Griffin.

Despite being retired since 2002, Olajuwon has making his mark in the league by being a private instructor during the season. His students include the likes of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard among many others.
