NBA and Houston legend Hakeem Olajuwon endured an embarrassing moment during the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament.
Olajuwon is hoping to see his Cougars do what he couldn’t in the 1980s and win a national championship.
Over the weekend, his program finally made it back to the NCAA Championship game for the first time since he, Clyde Drexler, and the Phi Slamma Jama crew were there in the 80s.
After Houston pulled off their miraculous comeback over Duke University, Olajuwon wanted to celebrate the Cougars, but there was a problem.
Reporter Chancellor Johnson posted a video of Hakeem Olajuwon trying to take the floor after Houston’s victory. Unfortunately, a clueless security guard stopped him from doing so.
One man, presumably from Houston’s entourage, even appears to intervene to help him past security.
It was to no avail.
Rest assured, if the Cougars win it all, nobody will be able to stop the Dream from getting on that floor to celebrate.
It will all go down on Monday night in San Antonio.

Houston won one of the most thrilling and improbable games in NCAA Tournament history on Saturday night against Duke, and all-time great Hakeem Olajuwon was there to take it all in.
He wanted to share that moment with the team, but the video showed a security guard stopping him in his tracks.
In the video, a man is seen stopping Olajuwon from coming onto the court, much to his confusion.
Many basketball fans were shocked by the footage and questioned why he wasn’t allowed to join the party.
Fellow Houston legend J.J. Watt weighed in on the situation.
“C’monnnnn Man. You let The Dream on the court,” the former Texans defensive end wrote on X.
“What are we doing here…”
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
