    The greatest move in Rockets history was from San Diego to Houston. But you didn't know about that one.

    Disagree with OP.

    Jeremy Lin jumping to pass the ball always resulted in points. Whether that was an assist to one of our guys or a turnover, leading to a fast break the other way, it always resulted in points.

    I don't think even the Dream shake was that efficient.

    I love Hakeem as much as anyone but I graduated high school in 1997. Tinman still lives in 1997.

    And you know that Clutchfans is populated with fake fans who don't respect Clutch City

    Those people need to be deleted

    FYI: When arguing the step back against Rocket outsiders... it's not a travel. When arguing it's better then the dream shake... it's a travel.

    Hakeem hasn't missed 20 Dream Shakes in the Western Conference Finals

    When arguing anything is better than the Dream shake, check the rafters at Toyota Center

    Hell,

    CHECK THE NAME OF THIS PLACE YOU ARE AT

    Sports Illustrated said that Hakeem Olajuwon's Dream Shake was the best play in the entire NBA. Better than Michael Jordan's fadeaway.
    I'm sorry, I don't remember the edition, or the year of that publication.
    Perhaps someone else might know that.

    Dream Shake is one of the most unstoppable moves in history. Right up there with Skyhook. Better than Dirk one-legged fadeaway mid-range. Better than anything else in the league currently.

    There should be a 30 for 30 documentary on this move alone

    Best move because of the shear amount of options you can go from that one move. Fade away jump shot, up and under for layup, take the contact for a foul and possible and-one, hook shot, or dunk... all while having your back to the basket so your opponent cant see anything telegraphed. Any other patented move you know in the nba with that many options to go? Not even the step back is that unpredictable.
