I'm not saying u are hating. You see I'm here to defend the Rocket Heroes of the past. Like Kenny, Vernon, Ralph. did you hit any maxwell shots?
And as a seasoned veteran, he left his team in 1995 because he was too petty and childish to be a professional.

"He still had supporters among the players. Sam Cassell, Elie, and Robert Horry remained close friends with Maxwell, and he was even voted a one-quarter playoff share.."
I understand that he was regarded as an awesome teammate. He had your back. He occasionally showed up to practice smelling like alcohol, but not all that often. Talked trash, schooled jordan, hit big threes, no conscience. The team loved him. So did rudy - whenever the phone rang, rudy was worried vernon had done something and was in trouble. He was often correct. But he loved him. Hakeem often tried to convert Vernon to Islam. Guess what was unsuccessful? Hakeem trying to convert Vernon to Islam. You're telling me to my face right here right now that you dont love someone who K. Smith, R. Horry, H. Olajuwon, O. Thorpe. C. Brown, M. Elie, R. Tomjanovich C. Herrera and S. Cassell ALL loved? You call yourself a Rockets fan? Dude, if those guys all loved the show "Joey" I would love the show "Joey" because I AM A ROCKETS FAN. Why don't you just agree that loving Vernon Maxwell is easier than loving "Joey." Why dont you just look in your heart, forget the nonsense you have heard, and face the truth about Vernon Maxwell and your need to acquire some gratitude to him asap. Vernon called Mario before to pump him up when the Spurs were in Finals. That's how he rolled. Vernon haters hate life. When I say "life" I include America.
CBrownFanClub, For the real Rocket fans, they all know about this. The haters do too, but they want to smear his legacy. I'm proud that newer Rocket fans can read this thread and notice all the evidence (books, records, youtube) of his legacy vs senseless hatred of the haters. If we got ONE NEW MAXWELL FAN out of this, our mission has been accomplished! THanks CBrown! Oh back to my articles I posted, Sam, Mario, and Robert... they turned out into pretty great EMOTIONAL LEADERS and CLUTCH SHOOTERS.. HMM where did they get that from?
Haven't bebopped into this thread yet, but just wanted to say I love this post. Of course, I love Max, warts and all.
I loved the dude...played awsome and showed emotion...so many players have issues but we still love them...he was a Rocket so I loved him...if he was anywhwere else, i'm sure we would all hate him.....if they wear rocket red, you have to root for them if you are a Real Rockets fan....
Maxwell ain't nothing but a glory hog. all those shots he took were for Olajuwon. Maxwell was just too selfish to pass teh ball. instead, he tried to tarnish Dream's legacy. the guy is a joke.
Oh man bring it on hater! I have so much more ammo to drop on you Max haters.. I'm talking about HUNDREDS MORE hahaha I love it 1993-94 Season 5.1 assists Where's your hate stats? Dreamed loved Max. Where's your credibility as a ClutchFan? I'm CLUTCH since 1999. What Rocket's cred do you have? 1. Been to Clutch's house and met his wife (Clutch the Bear, not Clutch of Clutchfans). 2. Met Dream 3. Met Clyde 4. Hung out with Rowdies in San Antonio for historic win 5. Met Otis 6. Met Horry 7. Has contacts with Rockets organization 8. played pickup ball at Compaq Center (inside connections) 9. read Rudy T's book 10. Has original Unkle Ben's Rice box with Hakeem on the front (extremely rare)
lol, wow. you read Rudy T's book? OMG!!! go you. Maxwell took a dump on Hakeem's car once. what a nice guy. and you've been clutch since 1999? ahhahahahahahahhahahahah!
Hahaha, its so fun making this thread cause it pulls the FAKE ROCKET FANS out. its like putting out the cheese for the rats to show up and then SNAP! hahaha.

The only thing that is important to me in all of this is that the record is accurate and complete, not biased and one-sided. Maxwell was worthy of recognition and support right up until the day he stopped acting like a professional and quit on his teammates. Dream.
whoa, you got me there Rocket guy. i hate Maxwell so much i root against the Rockets. that's why i'm on this board everyday. I want the Rockets to always lose.
You just write the same crap over and over. I've got something for you later. written evidence of why Vernon left. i'll post evidence, while you post hate. No it wasn't Dream. Dream wasn't know as a buzzer beater for the Rockets. Mario, Sam, and BIG SHOT ROB made huge buzzer beaters post Vernon.
