Former Houston Rockets star Hakeem Olajuwon is moving into the world of fashion, launching his own clothing range, myFOXhouston.com reported Thursday.

The Hall of Famer, who led the Rockets to back-to-back championships in the 90s, told how he had always loved designing clothes.

"I think it's wonderful to be able to launch your own collection," Olajuwon said. "I think it's something that anyone that loves fashion, that would be the ideal, and it's a real joy to be able to launch your own collection and to be able to express yourself through your clothing."

He explained: "My passion for fashion has been there from the beginning. I've designed so many cool, nice clothes for myself that you want to take that public."

And the 47-year-old is clearly not worried about being successful in a tough market.

"If you're good, you don't worry about competition," he said.

His clothing range will be on display at the Toyota Center when the Rockets play Toronto on Friday.
