    There's a chance he's referring to this video I made a couple of years ago.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Pk0MPyiJBbc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Pk0MPyiJBbc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Here's the original description I posted to avoid confusion about the intent of the video...

    That never gets old...

    I can't explain it but 14 years and counting and I still get goosebumps when I watch the highlights of that first championship run. The second one was more historic I think but that first one was and will always be something special to me.

    The dream shake on David Robinson has to be one of the most athletic pwnages on a hall of fame big guy of all time.

    Behind the back by Yao never gets old. I wonder how embarrassed he was to get owned by a 7'6 guy lol.

    Houston undoubtedly made the right choice by taking the Dream with the 1st pick.

    When Rudy T referred to Hakeem when he made his famous Don't ever forget the Heart of a Champion comment,it brought back the memories of the majesty of Hakeem Olajuwon.

    Maybe I'm a homer when I say this, but I feel Hakeem is in the top3 centers of all time, if not #1. Shaq was dominate, Wilt had the offense, Russell had the defense and Kareem had the moves and skyhook. Now if you roll all those guys into one you would have Hakeem because he could do everything(not saying he was better in every aspect, but was great in all). He played against the best of the best Kareem Shaq Robinson Ewing etc...and beat them all. I'm glad he played for the Rockets, but he would have been considered the best if he had played for L.A, Boston or New York.

    I'm convinced that there is lost or forgotten video...

    I remember the block on Xavier McDaniel was pretty good...
    There was the time he blocked Shawn Kemp 3-4 times in a row.
    I'm a bigger fan of his midrange game than the dunks that they chose to show

    I missed the block of Starks 3 pointer, and of course the block on KJ. those plays should defenitly be in the top 10.

    Man he was great

    Nice to hear Calvin's voice again in some of those replays. Would love to see him back with Bill.

    I agree. The espn ranking of Dream at #5 is wrong. He was more talented than the centers they put above him. He won his first title without a sidekick unlike like Jordan or Shaq.

    Hakeem, Barkley and Drexler looked like old farts at this point compared to what they used to be. None of em had the explosiveness of earlier years and were probably operating at two thirds of what they once were. They were banking on the left overs of the trio and mostly their experience. This team also lacked chemistry of earlier championship Rockets teams. The Jazz started to have Rocket's number because they gained the chemistry that Rockets lost.
