Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler were two veterans who were at the top of their game since joining forces in 1995.  Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon is a known Hall of Famer as is Clyde "The Glide" Drexler.  Olajuwon was drafted by the Rockets in 1983 being the next great frontcourt player to impact the game.  Olajuwon's mid range game and post presence with moves like the "Dream Shake" had left an imprint on the NBA for years to come.  Olajuwon is recognized for him being the all-time blocks leader in the NBA.  Clyde Drexler was a very efficient shooter who had the ability to score at will.  Clyde Drexler was originally drafted by the Portland Trailblazers in 1983.  When the Blazers were not competing for years, Clyde demanded a trade.  In 1995 he was then traded to the Rockets where he would then join Hakeem as his partner in crime.  Hakeem ended his career with two rings for Houston in 94' and 95'.  Clyde was able to get one ring before he hung it up.
