http://www.clutchfans.net/ It leaked early this morning that Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon was shockingly expected to return to the Rockets, and the team announced just that today at an early afternoon press conference. "What happened in the past is well behind me," said Olajuwon, who admitted that he was recruited by fellow centers Yao Ming and Dikembe Mutombo. "I'm just here to offer some experience and bench help." http://sports.espn.clutchfans.com/nba/news/storyid-3322476/ The past may meet the present in Houston, and for the Houston Rockets that means the return of the greatest center in franchise history. Hakeem Olajuwon is expected to return to the Rockets today in the hopes of contributing to their playoff run, according to a source close to the NBA great. "It looks like it's going to happen," said one source close to the situation. "We should know for sure by this afternoon." The Rockets are planning to unveil a monument honoring Olajuwon on April 11 outside the team's arena, and that opened the lines of communication between the former star and the team. Phone calls from injured Rockets center Yao Ming and long-time friend Dikembe Mutombo were instrumental in his decision to return. The 45-year-old Olajuwon is the NBA's career leader in blocked shots (3,830). He led the Rockets to their only two championships in 1994 and '95 and was the most valuable player of the finals both years. Olajuwon retired after the 2001-02 season and the Rockets drafted Yao with the first pick a few months later. -- 騙不倒我的... 但要是是真的那該多好 --
