    Hey, declan32001, thanks for the education! I haven't lived in Texas since 1973, so all my fandom (since age 10) has been at a distance, and they don't really cover Houston sports in Missouri and Vermont the way they should. I'm really glad for the info. Hadn't heard about Dream and Clyde, and I hadn't thought too much about how tired they must have been after the war with Louisville. I knew all too well about how the mighty Coogs responded to the free throw challenge NC State threw at them... so, again, excellent info, and now I can really answer Guy V.'s doubters (including, sadly, sometimes, myself) the way I would want to!

    p.s. -- something ate my upload link, so I'll try again tonight... probably can only do one link a night, it takes so long, but I'm going to try to do all three vids eventually...

    Has anyone got a video of highlights during 1995 when Hakeem destroyed Robinson?


    I've only ever seen bits and peiced of that series and I'd love to see more. :D

    Good video. Two problems:

    1) No 95 footage
    2) Mace constantly saying nigg...

    Not Hakeem's style....... EVER.

    For next year, could someone PLEASE put something together to the song from The Lost Boys Soundtrack "I Still Believe"? I think that could be an awesome Montage.

    This is more than worth it. The best download I've ever gotten from Clutchfans. It will almost bring tears to your eyes. So many of the key moments of the 1995 playoffs, including the one Hakeem move on Robinson where he faked him 3 times under the basket. This shows Robinson getting his MVP award! LOL. Awesome. I almost felt sorry for the poor Orlando fans wincing as their team crumbled.

    The problem? The file is 153MB and with yousendit, I couldn't get higher than 38 KB/sec. If someone knows how, can they post a torrent so others can download it 3-4 times faster than I did? I don't know how. If someone explains it, I'll post it back up on yousendit. If you have narrowband, forgetaboutit. If you have cable/DSL/T1, THIS IS A MUST HAVE for your hard drive. Over 20 minutes of the most unforgettable run our team ever had. From the 6th seed to NBA Champs!

    GREAT video. Perfect, Power, then finesse, it really goes the way you remember it going.

    I will say that the choice of music could have been better. Kinda ruins it in places. Just my two cents. A good drum beat and base line with a low track of Geno's calls would have been better.

    Thanks though to the author, and to you folks for posting it here, and hosting it up for those that missed the first few links longevity.

    Agreed. There was too much music when they could have just used the announcers call instead. This is still the best download I've ever done from Clutchfans.

    No way...
    TheReasonSF3's second video was great, but IMO too much guard play. His first video was by far the best. It's THE DREAM MIX

    Since I have some space to burn today, I'll upload it...

    http://s22.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1DFOUCCWP6H7R2JMOJHPI36FJG

    Like I said, it's the mix. Any Dream video thread without it is not worthy enough.

    And if anyone can host it or something, it'd be great. It's definitely deserve it. It used to be on Smeg's board, don't if works there any more.
