    if I had to guess, it was future Rocket Stanley Roberts, was known to have been overweight and was injured that season, missed all but 14 games that season

    I never liked the rule change. I feel like it makes the game less about 1-on-1 matchups. That's what I loved about Hakeem's Rockets is that you knew he would always abuse his matchups. With today's zone defenses it makes it much harder for one "singular" player to carry their team. That's why I think what Harden has done this season is special and MVP worthy. No one player has carried his team like Harden has this season. Just like Dream had to in the 1st Championship drive.

    You can blame Rudy T for the rule change. Rudy always knew how exploit the rules, and when he pulled 4 guys to the corner and let Franchise play street ball, the NBA had to make some changes.
