Well that came out gay. Story of my life. I wasn't calling you boo. I was saying boo to the fact that i can't link the games so everyone can enjoy them bc of the rules i think. Sorry baby boo.
When i feel like it, since it will take forever. Maybe i'll upload all of them on Youtube. Probably each game in 4 or 5 parts.
I wasn't sure where to put this and I didn't want to clog up the GARM with more threads. This is kinda relevant to the topic at hand. I am far too young to have been able to experience the glory days (Born in 1994. Day Olajuwon was handed his MVP trophy, to be precise.) I've always wondered this, and I'd like some of the older, more fortunate crowd, to answer this for me, please What happened to Vernon Maxwell in the 1995 season? I look at the box scores of the playoffs and see he only played in one game. Did he get hurt? Was he upset at being benched in favor of Clyde?
yes he was upset over that. I believe he waas dismissed from team after not showing up or something. I can't remember exactly.
Feigning a hamstring injury, he was given a leave of absence after the 1st game of the playoffs. Maxwell later admitted he was frustrated with not playing; the incident was hyped as Maxwell being disgruntled at the team's recent acquisition of Hall-of-Fame guard Clyde Drexler. His actions led to the Rockets ending his tenure with them
Wow, so he actually quit on the team? Wow...that's crazy. He would've made an excellent sixth man, in theory. Crazy. My brother's father-in-law made mention of how he had pulled over Maxwell before and caught him with some dope. He really had some issues, huh?
It was the same year he spit and punched a fan in portland. Yeah...he was Mad Max for a reason. He was a great Rocket and a fan fave despite his troubles. I'm sure if all happened the same, and we didn't win it all in 95, there would be a lot who hate him, but he still was huge in our first ring and that's enough for me.
I was at that game--had great seats too. will never forget it. timmy hardaway just about had his way with us. we thought he won it for them.
The real story is that Vernon Maxwell was not extended at contract extension at the beginning of the season, which pissed him off, and getting Clyde made him even more pissed. Here's a good thread with REAL FACTS, not speculation http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=197100
Well i guess it's only pirate sites i can't link. So i think this is cool. Here you go gents. Many links are down as you go through the thread. But, the final page has both the Championship series for the Rockets for download-spit in parts. I've downloaded that and all of Jordans first 3 rings, getting his last 3 next. I haven't looked through it all, but in the end i want my collection to have all of the Rockets 95 playoff games as that is without a doubt the best championship run ever imo. I want as many old school Rockets games to show my future kids who will be Rockets fans or they will be disowned. http://forum.wiziwig.eu/threads/14869-NBA-Full-Game-Downloads-Old-Games/page298
