NBA Hall of Famer Hakeem 'The Dream' Olajuwon has been chosen to be the NBA Ambassador to Africa by the league. The Nigerian native from Lagos will work closely with the NBA Africa office in Johannesburg and have a prominent role in the development of basketball on the continent through various events and activities. 'The Dream' was the first pick in the 1984 draft by the Houston Rockets he led them to a back to back NBA titles beating Orlando and NY, stopping Shaq and Patrick Ewing from being NBA champions. He was a 12-time All-Star and the 1994 MVP. Mr Fall, the NBA's vice president for development in Africa, says Wednesday in a statement that the league is elated that ''one of the greatest to ever play the game, a son of Africa, and a legend of Hakeem's stature will officially represent the NBA in Africa.''
