Synopsis
Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon, the African NBA star who never touched a basketball until he was 17, relates his own story. Beginning with his childhood in Nigeria, his life changes radically when he leaves home to attend the University of Houston. From there, he launched the basketball career that ultimately brought him to the Rockets. A devout Muslim, he speaks of the role of faith in his life, and discusses his commitment to serving as a role model.

Publisher's Note
The star of the Houston Rockets chronicles the cross-cultural journey from his Nigerian childhood to the heights of fame with the NBA, discussing his life on and off the court, rivalry with other players, confrontations with owners and referees, and religious faith.

Industry reviews
"Although there are the requisite glimpses of other players and the N.B.A. life, the book is most moving when Mr. Olajuwon describes how he draws strength from his native culture and his Muslim faith."
New York Times Book Review - Carolyn T. Hughes (03/24/1996)

"...[W]hile a bad boy and a trash talker may spin more riveting narratives, the words of this thoughtful man may yield better lessons in living."
Quarterly Black Review of Books - Chip Cosby (09/01/1996)
