In 04-05 we had the 3 point hand sign, I think this year, as a tribute to Deke, every good defensive play should have the finger wag in some way. We can never recreate it's awesomeness, but we should try as a tribute.
I wouldn't want that. The finger wag is Deke's, and I think that using in such a way cheapens it to a degree. Just go out there and win for him. That's all.
Favorite memories of Deke: 1. 1994, blocking Shawn Kemp 3 times and then, holding the ball at the end of game 5. If not for Deke, we may have been talking about 1 championship. 2. 22 game win streak. If not for him, maybe it's a 10 or 11 game streak. 3. All the blocked shots. Too many to mention. 4. Being honored by President Bush. 5. T-Mac's charity softball game. Deke hits it and doesn't realize you have to run to 1st base. Only Deke. God bless.
You will never be forgotten and there will never ever be another NBA player like you. Long live Deke!
sad, sad end to a great career. he was instrumental to keeping the rockets lead during the game 1 victory, and will be sorely missed for this series and the rest of the playoffs.
hmm...I'm pretty sure if it was: "Tmac says his career is over' people don't really give a $@#@ about tmac's ending
Dude, really? You just have to bring up T-Mac in a Deke thread? Why? Take that crap somewhere else. I'm sure there are plenty of other threads where you can pour out your hate for T-Mac. Let it go, life will be better for you.
I thought Deke was indestructible... he's Mt. Mutombo... I was hoping for him to play yet ANOTHER year for us... It's sad to see him go out like this. Deke is much appreciated as a player and as a person... proud that he's a Rocket.
