Maxwell's 3

 

Hakeem killing robinson after he got the mvp trophy, letting everybody know who the real mvp was.

 

Aaron Brooks blocking Grant Hill haha.

 

mine was when THE DREAM schooled THE ADMIRAL in the playoffs...ahhh....timeless...dreamshake and fade away J's all over the place

 

The Rockets' winning those two championships in 1994 & 1995.

However, before that, how about this:

t-mac's 13pts in 35sec

o my gooood

 

All of them.

But, in most recent years... probably Novak burying the 3 to keep the streak alive.

 

the championship clutch moments but most recent i would have to say T-macs 13n35...

 

Olajuwn tipping in Drexler's lay-up with 0.3 seconds to go in OT of game 1 against Orlando. I was ten and watching in the early morning in Taiwan and going crazy. Basketball in those days really was better than anything that has come since.

 

I think one of mine would be Eddie Johnson hitting that 3 against utah at the buzzer....that was nice.....

Kiss of Death is #1.
Eddie beating Utah in Houston is #2.

 

Has an MVP ever been personally dominated, on a one-on-one basis, in as impressive a manner as Hakeem destroyed Robinson? It was one guy - who happens to be the best professional athlete the city of Houston has ever seen - going out and saying "I don't care what the writers think, I don't care that we're an underdog, I don't care that we have to go on the road, my time isn't over, I am still the best, you can't stop me, you can't stop my team and you don't deserve that award."

Seriously, was there any doubt, by any true Rockets fans, that the team was going to win it all?

The below is from Game 5. Hakeem completely dominated this game. 19-30, 42 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 blocks. Robinson put up 22 and 12, but had zero assists and 7 turnovers. In truth, though, with the exception of Game 4, where they played evenly, Hakeem dominated the entire series.

This is the pinnacle play in Rockets history to me. The best player, on our best team, completely dominating the guy the league thought was better.

1. Dream's reverse dunk that nailed the Sonics' coffin shut in '97
2. Dream's block on Starks in the '94 Finals
3. Dream's three-pointer in the '95 Finals
4. Elie's Kiss of Death
5. Dream's Ramadan game against the Bulls in '97
6. Barkley's spinebuster on Shaq
7. Eddie's game winner against Utah in '97
8. Drexler-Olajuwon alley-oop in game 3 vs Utah '98
9. Yao postering Garnett last season
10. Francis' game against Phoenix last season (hope that wasn't his swan song)

 

antisonic, youre hatin on t-mac.
13pts in 33sec

 

If I had to pick just one -- probably the Maxwell 3-pointer in the 7th game of the 94 finals. That's the point where I knew we won the championship.

 

LOL. Seriously? How is a positive post of my personal favorite Rockets moments "hatin on t-mac?"

And some of you guys say I troll and try to derail threads.

 

It's not. But you must either really despise McGrady or love Yao to favor Yao's Boston dunk (in a loss, by the way) over that miraculous San Antonio finish. Those type of dunks are a dime a dozen. Dwight Howard has one just about every game.
