Tears Of Jordan#82 Tears of Jordan Special: Jordan rémálma: Hakeem OlajuwonAz NBA legnagyobb sztárjai, ha a közülük való egyik legjobbat kell megnevezniük, az ő nevét mondják. Ha arról kell nyilatkozniuk, ki volt Michael Jordan rémálma, kitől tartott, és kit tartott nagyra, megint csak az ő neve hangzik el.
