Vernon Maxwell has opened up about how he nearly stabbed Hakeem “the Dream” Olajuwon to death if the police hadn’t arrived and pointed a gun at him. That’s a wild story there!
The Sports Rush got more via the No Chill Gil podcast;
Not exactly revealing the exact timeline of the incident, Mad Max, told this story to Gilbert Arenas and Josiah Johnson on fubo Sports recently. It started when Max wouldn’t stop cursing, sitting in the locker room and suddenly saw a 7’0 towering figure standing in front of him.
“This MF slapped the sh*t out of me… hit me so hard, knocked me out the chair. I jumped up, I grabbed my chair, busted glass all over the damn locker room… police come with guns drawn… They got the guns on me at a professional halftime… I broke the glass and I picked up a big piece of glass, and I was going to chase Dream and stab the shit out of him… That’s how it was before (he became Muslim).”
Admitting himself that Olajuwon had the hands that could cut meat, Max told the story in the most fun way that a horrific tale could have been told.
Imagine what would happen if the police didn’t arrive in time or at all. It could have been the last day on earth for either Hakeem or Max and the other one would still be in jail.
So, Olajuwon’s rejuvenated faith in Islam not only helped him in making a fortune of $300 million as a businessman after he retired from the NBA but also helped him solve his anger issues and possibly get himself killed even before becoming one of the GOATs.
This certainly sounds like something that Vernon Maxwell would do.
Flip to the next page to watch the interview. It is hilarious. You have to wonder what would have happened if the cops didn’t come in the locker room.
