[1992] Hakeem & The Rockets vs. Jordan & The Bulls

The crowds back then... amazing!

 

This is awesome! They don't play the game the same way anymore.

 

Man this game was crazy! Good post sir!

 

Wow. There's a Buck Johnson, Sleepy Floyd, and Avery Johnson sighting. And of course Don Chaney was sporting The Beard back then

 

That was a good one. Good times...damn I was like 10 years old back then.

Thanks for the (1992) in the thread title. That should deter all the LOF/LOH's.

 

Man oh man, just to see the old gang again. Otis Thorpe's freaking hands!

 

Buck Johnson

 

wow I haven't watched an intense 4 quarters basketball game like that in years

 

Wish there was a way to share with you guys the version I have, it is 3 DVDs converted from a VHS master and the best quality you can expect from that era. I will try to put some clips together of some good moments.

 

Here's a preview of what the quality is like

 

Upload to youtube

 

the reason why robert horry was booed at the nba draft

 

So glad this thread wasn't created by that other guy lol

 

this thread is for people who know the 'clutch' in clutch fans means and stands

this if for fans who actually believe that a Rockets team with the greatest Rocket of all time would never lie down for any body

this is for fans who don't root for the team who injured hakeem and made him wear those stupid goggles

 

you are easily the best new poster on clutchfans

take us to the summit

 

Hakeem is the reason I am a Rockets fan!

 

dat layup 0:40....
