    Vernon was a big shot-maker throughout the playoffs.

    Ron was horrible offensively until game 7 of the Finals.

    Why are you posting videos with Artest on the Lakers???

    I thought this was Houston Rockets 2010: Game Action & Roster Moves...

    Can I post a McGrady or Shaq video on the Magic?

    some people don't remember with their hearts.

    http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/millennium_index.html

    (May 13-15, 1994) Two hours after blowing the biggest lead in NBA playoff history, the Rockets flew out of Choke City down 0-2 to the Phoenix Suns. Four days later, the Rockets flew into Clutch City with the series tied 2-2. In Game 1 of the 1994 Western Conference Semifinals, Houston built an 18-point lead but lost. In Game 2, they had a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter but lost in overtime. "I'll never forget getting on the charter flight after Game 2," Rockets television commentator Bill Worrell said. "It was like a morgue." The Rockets didn't rise from the dead until the second half of Game 3 when they found themselves behind 49-41 at halftime. Then Vernon Maxwell got hot, scoring 31 points in the second half as the Rockets won 118-102. Houston finished "Desert Sweep" by winning Game 4, 107-96, to even the series.

    Yeah, usually Shaq in Orlando is getting whipped by Hakeem in Houston.

    I don't who that other guy you are talking about is, is he a new McDonald's character like Grimace or Hamburgler?

    Maxwell is better - no contest.

    When Artest was with the Rox, I remember thinking "Ron, please don't shoot it".

    stats are deceiving, they both had similar stats.

    Maxwell was a much smarter offensive player, he knew how to get the ball to Hakeem.

    Also a superior ball handler, which stats don't show.

    Perceptions bias & Nostalgia FTW.

    Maxwell sucked on offense other than the rare streaky nights when he was on....Which were exceedingly rare.
