Leslie Alexander put the Houston Rockets up for sale in July. In that time, many potential suitors have expressed interest, including former Rocket Dikembe Mutombo. Now the greatest Rocket of all time, Hakeem Olajuwon, wants in on the action.
Leslie Alexander purchased the Houston Rockets in 1993. Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon led the Rockets to consecutive titles in 1994 and 1995.
It would be a perfect handoff, because the current Rockets team may be the best since Hakeem suited up in Houston in the mid-90’s.
Olajuwon is looking to join a group to purchase an ownership stake in the Rockets, according to Mark Woods of ESPN.
