NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon works out JaVale McGee & Amar’e Stoudemire [video]

Hakeem Olajuwon is giving pointers to Nuggets big man JaVale McGee and Knicks star, Amar’e Stoudemire. Olajuwon has a big man camp and recently took the two under his wing to see if he can sprinkle some of his magic onto their games. Stoudemire reportedly paid 50,000 a week to step his game up with the legendary Center. Check out video of the two working out with him.

 

Olajuwon has lofty expectations for McGee, he expects JaVale to be a dominate force in the league.

No question,” he said, “I see him as another star. That guy should dominate the league. He has tremendous talent. I give him all these moves and he can finish and he’s already skilled. So, now, just show him how to use that skill to get to the next level.

It makes sense, a lot of the knocks on McGee’s game have been related to focus. Olajuwon could be the key to his success where his talent and basketball IQ mirror each other.

Only question I have, Amar’e’s shorts. Can anyone explain those to me? Maybe he want to make Dream reflect to back when he was in the NBA.
