    GREAT playoff series (later that year)! Boki-Malone is when I fell in a deep deep love with the Rockets.

    This was Yao-Shaq I, I believe. Those first few possessions by Yao were memorable. Steve had an outstanding stat line: 44 pts, 6 rebs, 11 asts, and 2 stls.

    Steve > Harden at making his team suck enough to land a top pick which turned into Yao. I will forever thank him for that.

    I remember this game. We grilled over at our friend's house for it. It was awesome. That is all.

    I remember being at that game, that was incredible. Steve with a career-high 44! Great memories.

    And Harden is way better than Steve though, idk if y'all are joking or what lol.

    Steve is not better than harden, but he sure had more heart out there than him.

    Man I miss Steve. Childhood hero
