    well jeff hornachek or however you spell his name could break calvin's record. romey on his show was talking about how calvin was an old gravy training man who just won't get over his record and about how calvin puts vudu on everyone and all kinds of stuff. i doubt rome even knows calvin but just another reason to dislike rome and of course wish that jeff screws up

    I agree Rocket Fan. I quit listening to Rome when he made fun of Charles getting hurt and saying he probably did it on purpose. He is an idiot that just likes to hear himself talk and can't stand for anyone to disagree with him or tell him that he is wrong. Screw Rome.

    Calvin does use "voodoo" to jinx people when they are approaching his record......Chris Jackson uhh Makmood Abdul Rauf

    We have a 50/50 chance of winning our next game, but there is only a 30% chance of that.

    rocketfreak...well sure he uses "voodooo" but come on whats wrong with that he doesn't actually have a doll like rome thinks though.

    my problem is rome says calvin is just an old man gravytrainin off his useless free throw record. i'm young but wasn't calvin one of the greatest pg's of all time and a lot better player then jeff hornachek or whatever his name is maybe even better game then johnny stockton?

    Watch the Last Word with Jim Rome on Fox Southwest. Can his guests breathe cause it appears to me that Rome is all up on their jocks? He's afraid that he will get his ass beat.

    IS THERE ANY DOUBT THAT IF CALVIN WAS ON THE SHOW HE COULD PROBABLY BEAT THE HECK OUT OF ROME?

    what's the deal with it being a great honor for Hornecek to get, but Calvin's making a big deal out of a meaningless record. It's either a good record or it's not. Rome is another one of the many that think the Rocket's don't count. If it weren't for Houston's 2 titles , I would have gone on a homicidal rampage by now. [​IMG]

    i know rome is like its a meaningless record that calvin needs to get over but then says its great honor if hornachek gets it. then the nbc people say the same kind of crap. i hope hornachek like finishes a tenth of a point behind calvin and calvin beats the crap out of him for even trying to break his record. right now calvin could probably outshoot the bum and i gurnatee calvin could beat rome at basketball right now

    Calvin has expressed his dislike for Jim Rome earlier in the season. When Bill was advertising "The Last Word" Calvin talked about going on his show once and he "accused" Calvin of practicing voodoo. Calvin must have blasted him for that, and little Jimmy got his feelings hurt again, and just like he does with all people that hurt his feelings,he disses that person whenever he gets the chance. I don't know when Calvin was on exactly, but i wish i hadn't missed it.

    About the ft% thing- I want to point out that in order for Hornycek to pass Calvin he will have to hit 41 out of 42 free throws. He only averages about 2.5 attempts per game. With only 16 games left, he could be one or two short (got the scoop form nbatalk.com)

    That would be so cool to see. Calvin would give him such a beating. Calvin got into quite a few fights in his time. He felt he had to defend himself quickly, or else he would be taken advantage of because of his size. I saw him pummel power forwards Jay Schlueter and Sidney Wicks among others. I heard Bill Russell comment once that most basketball players can't fight, but Calvin Murphy can fight.
