[TNT] For those that missed it... 2012 NBA Season Intro

I though the Dirk / Bird match up was epic

 

The song is amazing anyway

 

im convinced that the reason the rockets arent in the video is because we have ugly jerseys and they look to futuristic.

 

Name of the song?

I really like the concept and certain parts are very well done, but a lot of the video looks fake to the point that it pulls me out of the moment. I know it's got to be incredibly difficult to splice the old and new footage together, so I'm not saying they didn't do a good job. I just hope that someday the technology will allow this concept to be executed more realistically.

Regardless, the music was great.

 

Trying to spot everybody that's in the video is hard. I was about to post that nique was slighted, they saw him. Row Blackman and Jason Terry was pretty sweet. I also like Steph Curry and Monta watching number 24 (who is that guy?).

 

In before Not sure if serious picture

He was a Rockets at the end of his career

Thanks. I couldn't figure it out. My memory only goes back to about 84 till now. Though I lived in Houston, I never saw one game that Calvin Murphy played. I was into the oilers, even phi slamma jamma hit my radar more than the rockets of the 70s.

If you were a rockets fan back then, you were hardcore, is all I can say.

 

... and two of his sons played for the Rockets just a few seasons back there

 

I wasn't even born back there

It was actually just a simple question, cause he is the best Warriors player ever not named Wilt Chamberlain and his awkward release from FT line was his signature cause he made almost 90% off his free throws

He didn't play in Rockets Red for long, but he set Rockets record for free throw percentage in his first year, and than it was beaten by Calvin, you mentioned, in just a two years

 

I disagree. It gave love to pistol pete and drazen petrovic, two of the most talented players ever unknown to the youth today

 

i get your point, but drazen petrovic is widely considered a star.

I think that Calvin Murphy was slighted, and possibly Muggsy Bogues. But Calvin has gone a little to nuttso lately.

 

Imagine a Derrick Rose and a Michael Jordan back court.
