We honor Hakeem Olajuwon not because he was a wonderful basketball player. There are many of them. People honor the "dream" because of what something special: (1) creativity of the many fascetts of the game (dream shake, ballerina moves,..), (2) leadership/partnership in a team environment, (3) honorable conduct on the court and off the court, (4) the care for next generation players (such as training Kobe, Dwight Howard, LeBron James,.. for charities).

Kevin Smith and Charles Barkley both said, when we think about Hakeem Olajuwon, we think of the word honorable. Michael Jordan when asked to pick the best center of all time, he picked Olajuwon.
