    He did mention Mo at the end, and mentioned him before Yao. :D
    Mo is happy man on the rox roster. :D
    I was surprised that Cat wasnt mentioned.

    What no love for Derrick Chevious? Rudy didn’t love coaching him…:D

    No, the site was updated in Febuary of 99 and everyone had to reregister. I've been posting here since early 1997, as have alot of people listed as "Febuary 1999".

    Kenny stopped playing 4th quarters before Sam was drafted - Scottie Brooks took those minutes from him back in the 92-93 season.

    He does, I'm just pointing out that he had flaws. I loved Maxwell too, but Rudy didn't mention his quitter ass either.

    Maxwell didn't quit. He purposely stepped away to once again light the flame of the Rockets by rallying them by pretending to go AWOL.

    Genius!

    I'm glad Clyde won one with the Rockets. But Vernon is a more beloved Rocket to me. I dont care how many fans he beats up. That dude had 10 times more fire and desire to win than our entire team this year.

    No Charles Jones?

    Where would we've been in the 95 finals without him sacrificing his aging CBA body to Shaq to spell Hakeem?

    What about Robert Horry? Great three-point shooter, passer, and defensive player. Remember his 8 steals in Game 2 of the 1995 NBA finals? Hard to include everybody.

    I have to agree w/ RocketsAstros. Although Kenny wasn't the man, he played an important cog in team chemistry. Allowing Sam Cassell to come in, that takes alot of heart.

    Robert Horry and Maxwell are the other two missing names from the glory days, I'm sure Rudy T would say their names if given the second chance.

    He did say Mario and Mo (that was a mistake!)

    Yaaa! that really sucked. I had been a member under a different ID since 1998 and had to reregister later on.. For a while I thought that site went down. I would go go Clutchcity.com and it would be a wack Rockets/comets site... I thought clutchcity was down forever.. and then in 2001 i think my cousin told me it was .net.. i was sooooo happy =)

    I think Rudy T did that in honor of one of the remaining Rockets who's still on the team after his forced resignation.
