Video: Goran Dragic Dream Shake

Found January 08, 2012 on Rant Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Goran Dragic,  Kyle Lowry,  Russell Westbrook,  Hakeem Olajuwon
TEAMS: Houston Rockets,  Oklahoma City Thunder

Picimg_nba_apr_08_d0ec
Goran Dragic started his second consecutive game for injured incumbent Kyle Lowry last night in a 98-95 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he played the best game of his Rockets career. Dragic scored 20 points and dished eight assists. He contributed to Houston’s big run in the third quarter, when they took a 12-point lead, by draining a pair of threes and slashing past a falling Russell Westbrook for a fast break layup. But perhaps the best play of Dragic’s run last night was this beautiful imitation of Hakeem Olajuwon’s famed “Dream Shake.” Watch the Slovenian pull off the nifty move and score to give Houston a late lead in the fourth. Thanks to Clutch Fans for the video.
