08:09 AM ET 09.17 | It didn't take Mike Woodson long to try to reverse New York's course. Even before he knew he would be coaching the Knicks again, Woodson looked into the future. He needed help. He called Hakeem Olajuwon, his longtime friend and a Hall of Famer known for teaching fundamentals. ... This week, Olajuwon will be in Greenburgh, N.Y., with several Knicks players, including Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and [Amar'e Stoudemire]. He will also be alongside Woodson, the man who persuaded him to make the trip. Having worked with Stoudemire for more than two weeks this summer, Olajuwon is clearly fully invested in assisting Woodson, and ultimately the Knicks, the team he beat in the N.B.A. finals with the Houston Rockets in 1994.

If Olajuwon can teach Tyson Chandler ONE post up move, it will be the biggest miracle that has happened since Jesus turned water into wine.

Chandler was 6'10" by the time he was a 12 year-old.
And in all that time, not one AAU coach, middle-school or high-school coach taught him how to really be offensively effective in the low post.
But they'll all brag about one of their prot??g??s making it to the NBA.
Shameful!

Good deal Dream...........you can teach Melo a thing or two about how to be a champion. You can teach Chandler an offensive game. You can teach "Stat", well lets just say", a whole buncha $hiit!

Exactly. Chandler is what he is now: a great defensive player and team leader. He is very valuable at being that. He's never been interested in playing offense (other than catching alley oops); and he never will be. A few days with The Dream ain't gonna change that.

My goodness.
Why is it that so many players now a days need to be coddled by HOFers?
Hakeem helping Howard.
Olajuwon helping ... practically every frickin' one on the Knicks.
...and my personal fave; James seeking guidance from Jordan, Bird, Magic, and Olajuwon...and I believe the Wizard of Oz.
What are the coaching staff for?
What a bunch of babies the players have become.
