Did they cheer for OT at least?? I'm very disappointed in the video, they had nobody talking about him like in other ones. Come on Rockets media guys..
Maybe the newer fans have never seen anyone who's played 500 games in a row before. Here's the video for OT.
Always had been one of my all time favorite Rox, along with Hakeem and Horry and Mad Max and Elie. OT was drafted by the Kings in that incredible 1984 draft. He was very productive with the Kings, consistently averaging 20/10 during his time there. I remember the day when we made the trade by sending McCray and fan favorite Jim Petersen over. As much as I had enjoyed Rodney and Jim's time with the Rox, I was ecstatic when I learned the news of OT coming over. He had always played the Rox tough prior to that, even though the Kings were bad and they'd always lose to us. Of course, I loved him even more once he began playing for the Rox. OT was the consummate pro. I was sad to see him traded to Portland but it did bring us the second championship.
