Hakeem retired before Jordan. Im pretty sure, esp since that last comeback of Jordans.

 

I tried to download that video, but it was so choppy, I only got to see about 12 images from it... spaced several seconds apart... anyone have any helpful suggestions for me? Do I need a better "video card" or whatever? All I have is whatever came with my e-machine... :|

Also, if I can get it to work, is there any way to SAVE it? Save Target As won't work... I guess it's NBA property and they don't want me to have a copy?

Thanks in advance!

 

Congrats Clyde!

Here is a pic of me and Clyde the night he scored his 20,000 point.

 

DanTanna, you are the mana!

Glide made it look so easy. He is well deserved of the honor. Whoever says he is "under-appreciated" is full of it. People knew what Clyde could do and feared and respected him (like the escalator)

 

Clyde was my best, too.
Too bad, Stockton took chance of another Ring from Him/Rox97.

I'm from EU and I'd like to get Rockets Jersey of The Glyde. Wonder if you can get it in US..
