    One of my favorite OT highlights. Them hands.


    I was torn the day he was traded for Drexler (who he coincidentally steals the ball from in this clip), but of course it ultimately led to our second championship.

    Does anyone know if OT was awarded with a ring the following season?

    He was a guy who quietly went out there and did his work in an exceptional way. He didn't get a lot of press or hype, but he was damn good, and he was damn good consistently.

    He was one hell of a Rocket.

    one of the most consistent players I've ever seen....

    people get excited when TJones grabs a rebound and takes to the rack, OT did that 20 years ago.....
