After back to back final appearances and winning the Championship in 2009. Kobe called Hakeem and asked to work on his Post Game in the off-season

Olajuwon:

I was surprised and impressed when he called me up that he wanted to come and work out. I said, ‘Kobe, you have all the moves already, you don’t need me!’ He said ‘No, I want to master the post, and I love your game.’ He gave me huge compliments (like that). So I knew right away how I could add value to his game from the post point of view, because my moves work better with quicker guys like him.
