Zaza Pachulia is nowhere near Hakeem Olajuwon’s league as a player. While “The Dream” played with the grace of a ballet dancer on the court, Pachulia plays as if he’s got cinder blocks for shoes.
But Pachulia is still a legend for his home country of Georgia and is currently on international duty with the national team for EuroBasket. And in Georgia’s game against Germany, Pachulia produced an impressive “Dream Shake-esque” move that would probably make Olajuwon proud.
Pachulia finished with a team-high 14 points and eight rebounds but Georgia still lost, 67-57, to the Dennis Schroder-led Germans.
Pachulia was a doubt to even play in this year’s EuroBasket after a lingering ankle injury kept him out of some tune-up games ahead of the tournament. But from the looks of his nifty moves to get the and-1, the Golden State Warriors big man doesn’t seem to be bothered by that ankle too much anymore.
