Hakeem Olajuwon, a Nigerian icon, was ridiculed for demanding N40 million for each training

Hakeem Olajuwon, a legendary basketball player from Nigeria, has come under fire for the exorbitant fees he demands for his training sessions. Hakeem Olajuwon, a Nigerian-born NBA star who is regarded as one of the league's best ever, is once again making headlines, but this time it's because of the outrageous costs he demands. The Hall of Famer and former star of the Houston Rockets is a well-known figure because of the effective results of his training sessions. Many even think he's the best center of all time because he was successful in the NBA more recently than other great players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, and Wilt Chamberlain. The success of Hakeem Olajuwon's big-man camp, in which professional athletes like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have previously attended, has taken on a legendary quality. Many players have spent their summers working out with Hakeem because of the improvements in their games they experienced after that camp.
