    It will now be Chuck, who I think will become a great coach.

    Tracy Murray. I had totally forgotten who this was, I knew he looked familiar. I think he was a shooter and scored 50 on a team once. His career stats look pretty bad, but I think he did get a ring with us.
    I thought you were kidding. This thing is real.

    If Armstrong did this with us my vote would have gone to him.

    CJ ftw!

    He played a whopping 3 games in '94-'95, scoring 3 points and grabbing 7 rebounds in 36 total minutes (he then went on to play in 19 playoff games that year with 3.2 blocks per game!). He played in only 85 games in 4 years. It takes something special to stick with a team when you are that much of a benchwarmer -- this guy delivered when it mattered most.

    And he's also the only player in NBA history to look older than Greg Oden while still playing.

    You obviously didn't watch the whole video he had a few dunks in the end. Funny that most of his highlights were against the Rockets.

    I also think its better than the Shane Battier Highlight Mix. That was just garbage.

    69 posts till the correct answer from texascityman31. And a tip of the hat to ArtV. :cool:

    Ehlo was truly a 12th man. He rarely got off the bench, and when he did, while it was clear he had some talent, he was mostly pretty bad. It took considerable playing time with the Clips and Cavs before he eventually became a solid NBA starter.

    While in Houston he was a fan favorite. At the end of games the fans would chant (mostly sarcastically) Eeeelow, eeeeeelow, eeeeelow!

    Granny was close, but not nearly the feaux fan favorite that Ehlo was.

    See now, it looks like old Alvin is doing just fine. Married, successful.

    If I was an NBA 12th man I would probably laugh about it and laugh with fans when they joked about it. I would take it as a compliment that I got to the NBA and was successful enough to get their attention.

    "Yeah, I did average only 5 pts and 2 rebounds a game. But I got paid six figures to grab those two rebounds." ;)

    Nachbar's dunk on Malone and him standing up to him, took him out of the "scrub" category and into the "rocket for life" category, for me at least. haha
