    Legendary talent. Played in a lot of good and bad games that those of us who watched will never forget. Glad to see this.

    Good. It's the right thing to do. This is what pseudo-fans like Tinman don't get- no matter what transpired, whether it be Hakeem calling Charlie Thomas a coward, T-Mac with his issues, and...dare I say it...Scottie Pippen's nonsense...it is inherent upon the owner to be the bigger man, if need be, and highlight the contributions rather than the negatives. If you establish your team with that brand, it's just good all around. The NBA is a tight circle, and you have to do things like this regardless.

    So, props to Les for doing the right thing- along with the Parsons and Lin videos. They also ought to have an Asik tribute video.

    The game slowed down so much for this guy. If he even worked just half as much as Jordan making his frame more fortified against injury he would be the greatest ever.

    He didn't - he has always repped Houston ever since he left. Something you usually appreciate in ex-players!

    He also said he wished he never left Toronto.

    Good. I'm glad the Toyota center hot dogs stand will get some extra business from the front row.

    Someone who goes by the name of Jeremy Lin will be sitting first row courtside next. Book it.

    When was Yao honoured?

    So what are they doing, just a video and a speech at half-time or what?

    Tmac only played 3 playoff series, 20 games with the Rockets. I know some of you like to exaggerate it like it was an eternity. nope.

    Thanks for the regular season memories Tmac.

    Harden will play more than 20 games with the Rockets in the playoffs.

    Sad that people only remember t-mac when he was hurt and hate him for how he behaved while he had a bum knee.

    13 in 35 was special. Should be interesting to see what they do to honor it.
