    I still get chills watching this:

    Some context for the younger CF members. Here are the 4 minutes leading up to it:

    Where were you when this happened?

    I was best man to a buddy's wedding that day. All the groomsmen snuck out to the parking garage during the reception (with a case of champagne) and listened on the car radio. We went CRAZY when JYD hit that shot. I was actually horse the next day from yelling so loud.

    Man, it used to be so much fun being a Rockets fan..............................

    I was at a barber shop first (I was 9). I remember one of the barbers saying "It's 10-2!", as if to make fun of Rockets fans.

    Then, around half, we finally got home. When Elie hit that 3, we (myself, my brother and dad) ran outside celebrating like it was a buzzer beater. THERE WAS STILL TIME LEFT!

    I was in 6th grade and stuck at the ****ty mall that my parents took me to. I was listening to the game on my Sony Walkman and I was devastated and shed some tears

    FYI - I was a huge Suns fan given Barkley was my favorite player. Joined the Rockets band wagon when Barkley joined. Although Olajuwon has always been my 2nd favorite player.

    We were BBQing by the pool and pulled the TV outside. My dad gave me my first glass of Bourbon that day.

    Loved that shot, Mario was a killer.

    Good to have players that can shoot on your team.

    We were up 3 in the last minute after the shot and Rudy kept fouling the Suns. Its too bad coaches are too chicken**** to do that now.

    My first rockets memorabilia was the 1995 wcf shirt . The buzz in this city with prime hakeem was something else

    I was only a few months old at the time, but I like to imagine I **** my infant self in excitement. Let's go with that.
