    Cassell 30 points 12 assists 5 Rebs & 3 steals off the bench:eek:

    I forgot about his performance in this game. Hakeem overshadowed everyone else.

    Has there ever been another instance in NBA playoff history for a player to come off the bench and record 30pts 10assists 5rebs?

    Wow

    People think of the Bulls/ Jordan era in the 90's, but they forget how insane the Rockets were in the mid-90's -- certainly the only team that could beat the Bulls with Jordan.

    Interesting side note... Rodman's stats with the Spurs in 95 the WCF were pretty sick.

    for the home games, i remember we would go to taco cabana to watch the games. You had to pay 50 dollars to Lex technologies in order to watch the home games.
    flashforward to 2013, we can't even watch the away games!

    Never seen an MVP get torched like Dream owned the mermaid in that series. An all-time performance in that series.

    Imagine if he was playing in this era in which Dwight is the "best" center.

    Hakeem isn't 6'8 and he can't hit threes, he'd never survive in the small ball era. He was a legend for his time though.

    lolwut?

    Even if you've never seen him play, and you only saw the clip that was posted in this thread, you could see that he would be quick enough to play in this era.

    the league's centers are so weak now.
    We consider Dwight Howard and Bynum the best.


    This guy is 50 and he's teaching Kobe and LeBron moves.
