Perhaps Hakeem is selling his teaching wares because he has no other job, while McHale has continued to be gainfully employed in basketball as a coach, general manager and broadcaster (oh, and has taught post players as well). John Amaechi - Sporting News 5/6/15 [I]"Your two choices, I believe are McHale and Olajuwon. An era or so apart, based on two instinctively different ways of thinking about basketball, two different body architectures and two different contextual imperatives, with the same result: you felt like you'd been put in the torture chamber after attempting to guard either. I know from personal experience with Olajuwon and from copious stories told to me by Jon Salley about McHale. (Jon ranks McHale above Jordan as an opponent btw!) If I had to choose — I refer you to my soft spot for under-physically-talented players who maximise their ability via amazing skill to give you your answer: McHale. Just don't tell Hakeem or he won't pay for breakfast ever again."[/I] Finally, McHale's post moves earned him a career shooting percentage of 55%, while Olajuwon's 'superior' moves generated a lesser 51%.
