    When you finally realize that the OP is a troll based on what I showed you and the responses by other Clutchfans here,
    if you want the real answer to Maxwell, this video clearly explains 1995.

    If you can't figure out that the OP is a troll and that Max was real, then you ain't NEO in the Matrix.

    Yub, is he wrong though?
    Swyygal is indeed a troll, but she seems to make threads that bring out the best in Rockets nation. So I don't hate at all, in fact I hope she starts more of them.

    You can interpret anything you like.
    Since you never grew up watching that player you don't know how he reacts to things
    Maxwell punched a dude in the stands
    And pulled a gun out at Luby's
    He's not going to act like a softie

    Maxwell is my 2nd fav Rocket after Hakeem; from the 90s till now.

    That will never change.

    Maybe because Vernon quit during the playoffs, and Yao only left when his body broke down on him and he played in the playoffs with a broken foot.

    Hahaha this attempt at using new stats methods and applying them retroactively is a huge fail. It doesn't work.

    But Harden quit during the playoffs too

    Should Rockets not retire his jersey when all is said and done?

    I understand Vernon is no harden but quitting alone is a non factor.

    They had that team on several 2k's, however they didn't include Herrera for some reason so it's not correct. Herrera was fire off the bench, couldn't of won without him.
