    The reason why I became a Rockets fan in 95. Favorite player of all time!

    Just saw it too, pretty amazing, why aren't there any players who can cup the ball like that in today's NBA?

    For the youngsters around - Clyde would dunk on peoples asses on the reg.
    He is a UH/Rockets/H-Town legend.

    the best players have always been in shape as they age.

    some haven't, but the ones with the most longevity have for the most part.


    maybe they're just lucky with the right bodytypes too

    Just a great shot from a photography perspective too.

    Two observations:

    No upper bowl in that arena.

    Not lower part on those shorts.

    Oh, and look at MJ in the bottom left. Not sure who 44 for the Sonics was?

    You are RIGHT!!! Sad we can't get Morey to see, that's what win Championships. :mad:

    Morey keeps bringing in players who are too short or too stiff. If you look at the Rocket Championship teams, we had wing players like; Clyde, Max, Kenny, Cassel, and Mario.....players who could bring it!!!

    I look at this team now and we have NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE who can bring it, outside of Harden and Beverly. Casspi - slow, Garcia - slow, Brooks - short, Lin - slow.....

    WE NEED TO UPGRADE THE BENCH

    If Clyde was 25 today, he would be dunking on everyone and also have the best finger roll in the NBA.


    Nah it has been colorized and highly edited.

    great photo. Just thought I'd point out, his head isnt above the rim, his knees are tucked so he appears to be higher than he actually is. Gerald Green, LeBron James, KD, have all gotten higher than Clyde has (atleast in this picture) among many more players I am sure.
