    In your opinion, which I am sure you know mine, which championship run do you believe was the most special? The 93-94 run, or 94-95. I believe that latter is the best of them all, and of all time!

    For me, the second was more exciting, but the first was more special.

    Nothing beat the overwhelming thrill I had when my favorite team won the world championship for the FIRST time in 1994.

    2nd, b/c I thought they should've won it the first time. They were the better team in each series.

    Having the Glide there really made #2 that much more sweeter

    The first time is the sweetest for a fan that watched the 80's teams lose vs. Boston.

    the '93-'94 regular season was the best.
    the '94-'95 post season was by far the Rockets best.
    just remember game 3 of the '94 semi finals between Phoenix is without a doubt the most important game in the history of the Rockets franchise. If they had not won that game none of us would be talking about Championships at all.

    That's tough. The first was so good, especially 'cause it was the first.

    The second. Heart of a champion. I hafta go with the second.

    The first was definitely the sweetest, but the best run was when we came from the 6th seed to end up sweeping the Buick with ears.

    Eww...tough question. The first one is special because it was the first pro championship of any Houston team....

    but the second was soooo special because...
    1. Clyde came back to H-town
    2. Rockets were never favored
    3. It was historic to win as 6th seed
    4. It was the second of a back to back


    I had to vote for the second one since it was 4 reasons to 1.

    It's not the World Championship. It's the NBA Championship.

    I've got my Rockets T-shirts from the Mid 90s that say you are wrong. And if I've got a T-shirt that says the Rockets are World Champions, then it must be true.

    I don't think the Argentinian team could have taken the Rockets in 94 and 95.
