Abstract
- This article is a review of the biography "Dream" by Mirin Fader, which explores the life and legacy of Hakeem Olajuwon, a former NBA player. Olajuwon, who was born in Nigeria, faced challenges due to his height and religious faith. The book highlights his dedication to Islam and how it influenced his career, including pouring champagne down the drain and replacing gold with platinum in his championship rings. Olajuwon's impact on African basketball and his role as a trailblazer for African players in the NBA is also discussed. [Extracted from the article]
