Flashback - March 29, 1990- Hakeem Olajuwon records the 3rd quadruple double in NBA history during a Houston Rockets 120-94 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Hakeem The Dream’s stat line that night went like this: 18 points, 16 rebounds, 11 blocks, and 10 assists.
The favorite card that I have from my childhood collecting days is a 1986-87 Fleer (#82) Hakeem (Akeem) Olajuwon rookie card. I have such a rad memory of getting it too. I was at the local sports card shop back in the early 90’s when I noticed they had constructed this haphazard pyramid of card boxes with random #’s taped on them. Apparently, there were all these various valuable cards distributed throughout the grab boxes. I gambled my allowance on box #10. Halfway through I pulled out Akeem, and remember being so stoked. The old guy behind the counter even pulled out a screw down card case for me to put it in.
It’s current location is unknown. Last seen in my Mom’s garage.
