it's okay man, June 29, 2004 was a horrible day for me. "Rockets get NBA's leading scorer" ME: "Oh no! not the ballhog from Orlando" can't say that he's a ballhog now, but I still don't like him and never will.
John Stockton's 3 pointer in the Western finals. We have never advanced past the 1st round since i believe. I remember that 3 pointer like it was seriously yesterday. Even though i was in the 4th grade.
When the Rockets beat the Knicks in game 7 94 Finals. I was only 11, but im sure I would cry even more if the Rocks won it again sometime soon.
The day they put the name "The Compaq Center" on The Summit. The day the Summit became a church. basketball-wise...Stockton's 3. I almost did when I missed the entirety of 1994 Finals, Game 4 due to stupid OJ.
The 2005-2006 season. Loss after loss I couldn't take it anymore. That season was mentally and emotionally draining just watching our two stars struggle and T-Mac going down every other game.
Hakeem sitting on the sideline exhausted, relieved and happy craddling the ball after the siren has sounded in Game 7 against the Knicks.
When The Rockets logo went from to <a href="http://photobucket.com/image/houston%20rockets/Jbabucci13/images1.jpg?o=38 target="_blank"><img src="http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk195/Jbabucci13/images1.jpg"></a> to <a href="http://photobucket.com/image/houston%20rockets/sally_roks/hou2.gif?o=49 target="_blank"><img src="http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd3/sally_roks/hou2.gif"></a> Its a Friggin R for crist sakes!!!
Hakeem sitting on the sideline exhausted, relieved and happy craddling the ball after the siren has sounded in Game 7 against the Knicks. That gave me chills.
I think it was a Saturday night when it was announced that Yao was out the rest of the season because of injury and I drank until 4 in the morning. It was bad. I went to church reeking of alcohol. I wish I could have cried instead.
When Tracy McGrady couldn't score in the 4th quarter of this past years playoffs. Watching Ronnie Brewer take Tracy to the hole and dunk then seeing Kobe humilate him the next round. Watching Scola miss lay-ups against the Jazz in the playoffs When Battier got called for that foul at the end of Game 4 against the Jazz in this past years playoffs. When Rafer got hurt at halftime of game 6.
No it was during the week when it was announced cuz I was in class. You just wanted an excuse to get drunk.
Same here.....talk about "dagger" that shot still hurts till now. We would have had Olajuwon vs. Jordan in the Finals
