That's pretty cool stuff to find out. Rudy during those great years of the Rox had a feel for getting the most out of overlooked players, remember Charles Jones efforts spelling Dream against Shaq. Elie was one of those players and IMO while the 94-95 team certainly were Dream's and Clyde's Elie was the soul of the team. He was the guy who epitomized "Never underestimate the heart of a Champion."
I didn't know that. That's pretty cool. I loved Super Mario. The kiss of death shot is one of if not my favourite Rocket memory all time.
