    I've never been a big fan of ESPN.com, and here is just another example. This is from a story about Vernon Maxwell signing with Philadelphia (apparently Larry Brown thought Iverson could use a veteran role model):

    Maxwell helped guide Houston to two NBA championships in 1994 and 1995. He also has played for San Antonio, Orlando, Charlotte and Sacramento.


    Excuse me? I remember Maxwell quitting on Rudy and the Rockets in 1995.

    Get it right, ESPN!

    Behad, a lot of people around here don't care about players quitting on the Rockets. I think I'm the only one who hates Elie.

    Ah, memories. That was TheFreak and my first disagreement on this BBS.

    My point is not players who quit, but the fact that ESPN, a national tv network and website devoted to sports, would print something so wrong. Any NBA fan with a passing knowledge of the Rockets knows the story of Maxwell. But here it is, in black and white, Maxwell guiding the Rockets to the '95 championship. Unbelievable!

    I know what you're saying Behad. I've come to expect nothing less from most of the national media.

    The same article says that Max let the NBA twice in three point accuracy. When in fact he led twice, in total (aggregate) threes. Big difference.
