Rockets.com's Tinman Memorial Interviews with R. Sampson and R. Horry

We want Ralph!
We want Ralph!

everyone should read up on the 86 team. it's the REAL "what if" in Rockets history, cause that team made it to the Finals and played legendary teams.

 

Yeah Bill Simmons had an excellent write-up about that team in his Book of Basketball.
He knows that they were the real deal.
Too bad tragedy struck em down like Monty Burns' famed baseball squad.

 

Among the highlights:

* Horry’s stunned elation over being picked by the Rockets and his response to the criticism that followed
* The pros and cons of being typecast and labeled as an NBA player
* The story behind Hakeem Olajuwon’s motivational message after watching San Antonio’s David Robinson receive the 1995 MVP award
* The defining moment which forever altered his mentality toward taking – and making – big shots in big moments
* The current NBA player who reminds him the most of himself
* The player he likes most in the upcoming NBA Draft

Horry tells about the "clean" version....I wonder what he really said...

"THAT F***ER HAS MY MOTHAF***IN TROPHY!!"

 

Both of these interviews were fantastic.
