Houston vs Kansas City! This was a good game. It was the last few years I saw the Rockets use a "motion offense" It was a sight of beauty. Calvin a true pocket Rocket! Moses! Unstoppable! Man, that Birdsong was also unstoppable!
I would have loved to see the 1981 team with Calvin and Moses play the 1995 team with Hakeem and Drexler. That would be fun to watch.
Hey, Bob! Make sure you listen to Bill Russell's color commentary on the game. I love his comments. He's sarcastic, but humorous! One of my favorite comments from Bill was when he was commentating on a game and the visiting team gets a foul called in their favor. Rick Barry (or Bill Walton; can't remember who) says something like, "The home crowd thinks it's a bad call." Bill rebuts with, "Crowds don't think, they react!" Bill then follows that up with his famous CACKLE!
That cackle cracks me up everytime. I wish Russell still did NBA games. Remember when they actually broadcast this game in Houston? *Hint* Recorded Earlier
Was Scott Wedman (sp?) on the Kings roster at that point? I know he used to have some good games for them, but maybe it was after 1981.
That's right. I forgot about that. I remember when Live AT 5 was a big deal too! Man! You gotta love modern technology!
I grew up next to Tommy Henderson. He used to beat the neighborhood kids 15-0 in ten on one hoop. I don't think he ever missed an outside shoot against us back in the day.
