A shot that is missing from this list is the game tying shot in regulation of Game 5 against the Suns. This was the elimination game with us down 1-3 in the series and down 2 with a few seconds left in the game. Had Hakeem not made that clutch jumper, there would be no conference finals against the Spurs, no Finals against the Magic, and no title.
I still think Ralph's shot was the greatest, not just in Rockets history but one of the best in NBA history. It beat the unbeatable Lakers.
I remember it so well. I lost my mind and it just seemed unbelievable that we were able to beat that Lakers team. Still not sure it was the best only because it didn’t lead to a championship, but you can surely make an argument that it was. Kiss of Death...
I don’t know about the five greatest shots, but those in my age bracket are fortunate to have watched Hakeem in his prime, never thinking We would see something that special in Houston again. Only to enjoy what Beard has done, especially this season. Getting to see two talents of that caliber in a Rockets uniform has been the greatest shot of all time.
You can find them on YouTube Here is one @BamBam Some people might not tell you it’s important but you can’t get more important than the nba finals
It won’t make the list, but Dream’s put-back dunk over the flat-footed Knicks is one of mine. That was the moment I became confident we would win the championship.
?? I thought you like a little education on some of the greatest shots of all time this was an educational favor
Mario Ralph Hakeem Kenny Sam No order, but those are my top 5, yeh. Eddie's was great, and Max's was so uplifting, but all-in-all the others meant more.
I know what you mean when you say the 5 greatest shot in Rockets history. But I am gonna have to go out on a limb here and hope somebody agrees with me.
Having chokers on their team doesn't negate winning game 1 of the NBA finals when your point guard drops 7 three pointers on Penny Hardaway in his prime The Rockets of the current era got rid of their playoff chokers , especially the one from the Portland series.
Lol ... not only are you following me around but you are also using my own responses!! I OWN YOU HOMIE!!! ....... ....... .......
