    What gets me especially angry is at Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, they have a platform to say Rudy T should be Hall of Famer.
    Are writers angry because of Rashard Lewis from a High School in Houston, was passed over 3 times in the First Round by the Rockets after Carroll Dawson and Rudy promised to take him. Rashard Lewis was crying at the table, it got me upset the next morning for Middle School thinking about it, from that day on, that was a scumbag move not to Select Rashard.
    Took 3 Scrubs in the First Round, Cuttino Mobley in the Second Round
    I think Rudy is personally hated more than accomplishments. Vernon hates Rudy for benching him, Vernon leaves the team, Kenny upset Vernon leaves, maybe personally hates Rudy.

    Forgot to mentioned. After Yao came, Rudy said that the first thing he wanted Yao to learn was the hook shot. Genius!

    Have you existed in 1995 with how Vernon left the Team? Vernon left the Team because Rudy benched Vernon when they traded for Clyde Drexler, Rudy benched Vernon, Vernon lashed out at Rudy at Utah he walked out on the team. He hated his role off the bench. Now in the present they buried the Past, they moved on, Vernon admits now it was his mistake.

    There is no reason we can't start our own campaign on social media to get Rudy T in the HOF. I have a few ideas, but I'm not a heavy social media user. We need some CF folks who have some significant Followers numbers to get this going. I think Twitter would be the best platform.

    Vernon says "it's water under the bridge now [...] Rudy T., we used to go at it all the time, but you know at the end of the day, me and him can sit down and have a beer and talk about it, you know what I mean, and not hold no grudges..."

    Rudy seems to have enjoyed playing golf with Vernon during the (2015?) All-Star weekend.

    We shouldn't be talking about how Rudy was pretty much forced to abandon Maxwell, to win with Drexler.

    We should be focusing on how Rudy was pretty much the only coach to get Maxwell to play at his best (on a Title team), in between all his tantrums. That's his coaching style. He can get through to anyone, and we sure needed Max. Sure glad the vaunted Spurs organization (Maxwell's drafting team) couldn't get through him the two years prior. Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood was probably scared of Mad Max.

    Have I existed in 95 ? How about have you ever been to Houston in your life ?
    Do you even know Luby’s
    have you even been to the original gallery furniture?
    Rick’s on Richmond ?
    Sharpstown mall at oshmans ?
    Sky screamed at astroworld?
    Meyerland amc ?

    You watched the clutch city documentary
    Kudos

    The basketball hall of fame has nothing to do with Vernon Maxwell or tnt . It’s not even just the nba .

    So go pretend you know something again about the 90s

    Go buy yourself some british knights at fiesta

    This isn't even a subjective thing. It's a huge **** up on the HOF's part.

    The cool thing about Sikma's career:

    In his first 11 NBA seasons, he was 7-68 from 3 for a .103 average.

    In his final 3 seasons, he was 196-550 from 3 for a .356 average.

    THAT is how you extend your career by adapting. Dwight Howard never understood this.

    All good things. None of them will get you anywhere as an argument for the HOF. I don't want to go into any more details because I've been on this board too long to get into any discussion where I speak less than pure praise for Rudy T, but I maintain my original opinion that Rudy T was not a trailblazer in the department of 4-out system other than that one playoff run. And no amount of Air Bullard stats change that.
