    One day this kid is going to be a CFnet member saying, "I was too young to remember Harden's first title, but I rocked that tweet heypartner posted long time ago, amirite."

    I was 12. At the pick of my prime as a basketball fan. Nothing was more important. Would sleep at my granfather place cause he had a satelite TV and would wake up at 2 am to watch a baskeball game from the other side of the world.
    Would still do that if not for the genius invention of a thing called 'The Internet'.

    I was 12 and 13. I watched the Rockets lose to the Sonics the year before and remember being sad.

    I was 12 and remember the white bronco cut out and my parents taking us to the championship parade. Peak basketball fan. It was great.

    What the hell?!? I feel like an old fart. When I was 11 the Rockets were losing to th Celtics with Moses Malone. Calvin Murphy, Bobby Joe Reid and RudY T giving them a run. If not mistaken the finals MVP is we actually Cedric “cornbread” Maxwell.

    I was in the 5th grade in June of 95. I had just bought an Olajuwon replica jersey from champs the day of game 1. The magic were the popular team since their stars resonated more with kids and youngsters. I remember going to school the next day with my jersey on and I heard some kid yell Houston sucks diq.
