Artwork I created in honour of Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon for the NBA Africa Official & the BAL Head-quarters in Senegal and Johannesburg. The artwork was also displayed & framed, as part of the NBA Africa Official activation at this years NBA, NBA All Star weekend 2024!!!! National Basketball Association (NBA)
Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon, HOUSTON ROCKETS 34 , the first African player to play in the NBA. The artwork I created In honour of Hakeem’s legacy was to be the theme for a boardroom in the NBA academy headquarters in Dakar Senegal, in honour of Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon. Hailing from Lagos Nigeria, Hakeem is the first African player to play in the NBA. He was top of the 1984 NBA draft , the number 1 pick ~ above Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and John Stockton. He was drafted by the Houston Rockets in 1984 and went on to win back to back NBA Championships in 1994 & 1995. He won NBA MVP 1994, MVP finals 94/95, NBA defensive player of the year award 94/93, best NBA ESPY player award 95/96. His accolades in the NBA are so many I could go on and on. I am so grateful and honoured to be part of telling his story, and to be cementing his legacy through my artwork with the NBA and NBA Africa Official. Championship Rings!!!!
