    What, in your own personal opinion, is the most memorable Houston Rockets moment?

    I have a few, Mario Elie's kiss of death, Battier/Scola Vs. Bryant/Fisher in the 2nd round of the 2009 Playoffs, T-Mac's incredible 13 in 30!!!

    I felt like we could use a positive Rockets thread around here to lighten up the spirit.

    What say you Clutchfans?:grin:

    The first Championship against the Knicks. How can anyone say otherwise?

    Samson's shot against the Lakers is definitely in my top 5 iconic Rockets moments.

    That 7 game series was just the best! I remember people partying in the streets after we had won.

    I remember two ridiculous game wining 3's from Maxwell. The championships of course. Especially Hakeem's tip in late in one of the Magic games. Eddie Johnson game winning three vs Jazz. 13 in 30. Game 1 vs Dallas and T-Mac's Gravity sucking poster job of Bradley.

    As much as I want to say the championship years, I was only 3 years old then. Watching my dad's VHS tapes of the Finals aside, my favorite two moments were

    13 in 35
    Artest in the stands

    The biggest moment in Houston Rockets history happened April 3, 2006.

    There is no debating that fact.

    A very distant second...

    There were two times where I knew the Rockets would win the championship. I'll let Kenny tell the first:

    When doubt began to seep in and the history of Houston professional sports championships came to the forefront, Sam Cassell hitting a clutch three in MSQ to win Game 3 alleviated any fears. I knew we were going to win and remained calm throughout losses that put the Knicks up 3-2.
