    This is a mellow paint scheme. My brother Anthony had a car this color.

    If it's 96-97 then you know what uniforms the Rockets have to wear.

    BTW Matt Maloney doesn't deserve the hate he gets on this forum. He did pretty damn well considering the circumstances with the Rockets and in his personal life.

    I think he only has 5 years left on his contract.

    More than anything, this logo and color scheme takes me straight back to the 90's.

    He averaged 1.4 ppg on a .179 FG% the year after signing his 7-year contract.

    His rookie year was a success, he looked like he was going to be decent. His father passed away and suddenly he was a rookie starting on a team with Hakeem, Charles, and Clyde. He found ways to be effective against Gary Payton and drop 26 points on him one game. Jazz shut him down though.

    It all started falling apart the next season. But he didn't quit, give up, or pout. He broke and it was over.

    I’d love to see that disgustingly busy late 90s Rockets court again

    Ok Matt, whatever you want to believe.

    Considering the circumstances you had a 7 year contract with the added benefit of playing with 3 hall of famers to learn from and distribute to all while being coached by someone who should be in the hall of fame & yet still screwed it up.

    I have to repeat myself..Being a point guard with the privilege of having 3 hall of famers on the opposite end of your passes and yet STILL sucking it up on the court is astonishingly bad. Hate deserved.

    The slowly fading away of the white point guard.

    I bet the last thing the OP expected was for this to turn into a Matt Maloney thread.

    What did he screw up? What sucking it up did he do? Got paid, not his fault. Got hurt, not his fault.

    Pretty sure Clyde screwed up the WCF in 1997. No point guard in the league could of helped in 1998. Earned a contract, got hurt, so hate because angry over things you don't remember.

    Haha good one, though sadly I am not surprised. Most threads are derailed into a pointless discussion.
