no doubt Vernon was Mad Max on the court too bad he can't provide no child support *word to your mother*
then hate on Ralph cause he didnt pull any trigger you can blame him for going out with gold diggers we cant hate people for their bad relationships be thankful they helped bring us championships!
When Vernon moved on there were no hard feelins it was all love we are the world we are the children the 94 rockets made it a brighter day so lets stop hatin there's a choice for fakin you're wasting your own lives its true Mad Max brighten our days for you and me!
his team was too busy celebrating to bother with vernon hating so nobody was grieving at mad max's leaving had things not turned out the same mad max would have been to blame cause he committed a sin that almost cost his team a win
There once was a man from Nantucket, His job was to put a ball in a bucket, But when the going got tough, He said he'd had enough, And quit on the team and said **** it.
who are you kidding, about V-Max the way he quit on the team, was quite wack he could have come back, and dropped 3s like a hammer instead he ended up, back in the slammer
Indeed, indeed... he was obviously befuddled His thinking process clearly muddled This hero of glorious days gone by Gave the team a **** you, and spit in their eye The triumph saved Max from a terrible infamy For which he should thank those he chose to flee But we shouldn't forget his former greatness And all he did for the glorious Rockets Vernon earned the nickname, "Mad Max." Now the time has come for a truce, a pax A Pax Max from anger, if you will For those of us who love him still It matters not if Vernon is sane A Rockets icon he'll forever remain
Yeah, well the official statement was that Iraq had WMDs. That wasn't true either. No more for you, you're stoned. Maxwell acted like a petulant, bratty child and quit on his team because he was upset about having a FAR better player start. WAAAAAAAHHHHH, CLYDE TOOK MY SPOT, MOMMY, HE CUT IN LINE, WAAAAAAAAH. That is a very different situation. Someone can go off and be a star in the music business no matter the people they have around them. If DU was holding Tupac back, he would have been stupid to stay with them. However, Maxwell was being paid to play basketball, a team game where no one player can win all by themselves. Maxwell was being paid millions of dollars to play a game and when the team told him that they needed him to play a different role, as teams often do, he chose to act like a whiny little b!tch rather than suck it up and act like a professional.
Mad Max was a man who attacked Both hoops and fans and his women were stacked Him and Dream they were the foundation Of a hard hitting team that rocked the whole nation CD and Les decided to make a move For a silky smooth two who knew how to shake and groove Even though they were upset 'bout losin' OT The team pulled together Sam, Kenny, Dawg and Horry Max took offense cause he thought he was dissed He took off his kicks thinking he would be missed But the rest took the court, they were too filled with pride To let Max hold them back, instead they blew up with Clyde Noone gave them props said that they were relics And nobody could win if they were seeded six Through the Jazz and the Suns and the Spurs and Magic The chemistry flowed and it never went tragic All the while Mad Max whined Claimed that he was maligned Just last year he'd remind That's when he really shined On the links he opined That he should be enshrined But of course he was blind And today he's confined
Well his legacy is clearly secure It's as tarnished as it was pure I take the good with the bad and recall the fun that we had but he deserves the whippin for pulling a Scottie Pippen of that I will always be sure.
you havent seen rhymes cause you think rap music starts crimes just because vernon was real you didnt like his mass appeal cause the rockets won a championship and his teammates still love him so but you refuse to recognize cause you think every brutha has to be cliff huxtable.
Vernon was Tupac but you guys wanted Young MC There's no peace on earth in this messed up world Id bust that dude in portland for insulting my baby girl Vernon was human, real and free phoenix suns will always remember his 3s raining down on them so stop frowning on him Dan Marle, KJ, Charles Barkley but Vernon couldnt be stopped Thats why Kenny Smith still give him PROPs
I don't understand all the hatred directed towards Maxwell. Everybody's got skeletons in their closet and Maxwell was no different. The guy was traded to the Rockets for cash and became the greatest clutch players in Rockets' history. He even battled and overcame anemia. If Maxwell, playing hurt, doesn't hit that key shot in the deciding game 5 against the Clippers the year before Houston won their first championship in the first round of the playoffs, then that Rockets team most likely would've gotten broken up and Houston would still be a city without championships. Everybody's got problems. It took a trade that didn't go through for Robert Horry to overcome his self-doubt and lack of confidence. Dream allegedly faked an injury and quit on his team and was about to be traded to the Miami Heat for Glen Rice, Rony Seikaly, and Sherman Douglas. Rudy T was an alcoholic. Nobody is critical of them. So I don't see why it's useful or beneficial to single out Maxwell for his problems. Let's focus on the positive instead of the negative.
Creepy people like to kick a brother when he;s down Rudy T has a drinking problem but he doesnt have an ego like Larry Brown Horry was shy Clutch City rose, and Horry pops 3s in Rasheed's eye What about John Lucas, Wiggins and Lou Lloyd? With their drug abuse, a championship quality team they destroyed but we forgive them for that Vernon gave us a championship cut him some slack Why is calvin not working with the Rockets? this is just sad Clutch City 94 was the best team this city ever had
Agreed. By the same token, without Maxwell we would never have gotten past the Suns in 94 and wouldn't have stood a chance against the Knicks that same year. I will continue to give Max all the credit he is due for the first championship run and he is due a LOT of credit for that. If there was a "big three" in Houston that year, it was Dream, Max, and OT. The difference is, Horry overcame his self-doubt, Dream (if the allegations are even true, which I sorta doubt) overcame his issues and came back to the team, and Rudy didn't let his drinking impact the game. In '95, Max flat out quit on the team immediately before the playoffs. I don't have any problem "focus[ing] on the positive," but when someone (tinman) writes a "definitive" bio on wiki and leaves out everything that happened after June of '94, it is dishonest by omission. Tinman is claiming that Max was somehow a hero even in '95 after he quit on his team, the fans, and the game. That is what I take issue with and I will continue to point out the truth just as I will continue to point out the truth about how important he was in '93-'94. It is about honesty.
