Hakeem Olajuwon shows up in 30-year-old tux to play off David Stern

The first pick David Stern ever announced was in the house for the commissioner’s last one.

As David Stern made his graceful exit from his final NBA Draft by announcing Nemanja Nedovic at the No. 30 pick in 2013, he was graced by his very first pick as commissioner: Hakeem Olajuwon. Most impressive of all was that The Dream still had the tux (or a very close replica) he wore 30 years ago.
