    You forgot all of China hated Larry Smith for NOT playing Yao Ming many minutes when he was interim coach.
    He had a billion haters.

    The entire irony of this is that they thought Van Gundy played him too much .

    the first of the player only fans was the YOF. however compared to the TOF and LOFs today, they were pretty mild mannered.

    Barkley and Larry Smith were enemy 1 and 2 for the YOF

    Oh come on, Carl Landry was a fan favorite, and a big part of 22 game streak. Love those players the Rockets took on as Rookies. He was named to the NBA All-Rookie second team. Not a HOF player, but a fan favorite.

    I get to show my 7 year old son who shot the kiss of death on Saturday. I can't wait, he will love it. I can already see him emulating Elie when he and I play ball.

    Wow Eddie Johnson gets honored and no Herrera, shame!!! BIG SHAME!! At least the 22-game winning streak gets some love.

    I was struggling to remember if they've done Horry yet & I'm like, SHIRLEY they won't skip Big Shot Rob, but when they announced the rest of the honorees, they mentioned AB, etc, but not Horry. I'm glad they did.

    They should've honored TMac on a night vs the Spurs. :p
