    Off topic, but of the same era -

    I swear when I was a kid in the 80's, I had a friend with an "Akeem" poster (before he was Hakeem) that had had a second middle name. Akeem Abdul [something] Olajuwon. I want to say it was something like "Abola" but it appears to have been scrubbed from history. I can find no reference.

    It's possible I slipped over into a different timeline at some point without noticing.

    They called him Akeem for at least his rookie year until he corrected them.

    Capitalize the man's name. He can't have a statue, so the least we can do is show him respect when typing his name.

    I only recall "Abdul" being his middle name. He did have a daughter named Abisola, so maybe you're thinking of her. lol.

    How about showing me respect and post about the topic at hand instead of trying to hijack it with senseless nonsense.
