NBA Legend Hakeem Olajuwon’s $50,000 NBA Workout Fee: Is It Worth It?

Hakeem Olajuwon, a basketball legend, is said to charge a whopping $50,000 for one workout session. This eye-popping price tag recently came to light when Gilbert Arenas, a former NBA player, poked fun at Olajuwon on social media.

Arenas playfully criticized Olajuwon, saying, “You should be ashamed of yourself charging these young whippersnappers $50,000. When you came in the league in 1984, you wasn’t getting $50,000 a game [laughs]. You’re trying to make your money back! … Do not charge these boys 50 f–king grand a week for that bulls–t! He ain’t been good since the 90s. That means all moves in the 2000s he don’t know. 2010 he don’t know. 2020 he don’t know. Who the f–k you going to do those moves on?! Wembanyamy?!”

Olajuwon is known for mentoring NBA players, including LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Yao Ming, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the late Kobe Bryant, in post-scoring techniques. However, as the game has shifted away from post-play in recent years, some, like Arenas, question the relevance of Olajuwon’s teachings.

The news of Hakeem Olajuwon charging $50,000 for a workout session has sparked a lively discussion in the basketball community. Whether his legendary skills from the past can benefit modern NBA players remains a topic of debate.
