    Yeah, that's pretty sad, tinman...

    I thought it would be something small, like if they thought that Matt Maloney was still on the Rockets, or that Matt Bullard was a tree, but Clyde? One of the greats.

    Come on SI, get your **** together.

    Glide did not play for the Rockets in the '94 finals against the Knicks. He played in the '95 finals against the Magic.

    That is so tired and pathetic! I knew the Rockets didn't get any respect, but my god use a search engine to get your facts straight! And to post it TWICE on the same page is inexcusable! If I were Clutch, I'd put it on the front page, point it out, and make fools out of them. Afterall, these are the same geniuses that forgot to put the Rockets on the cover of the freaking magazine when they won the title! I guess it's fitting that they didn't put them on the cover of SI since apparently they didn't know who the Rocks were playing! [​IMG]

    Yep, and it's taking SI 7 years to get their coverage of the Rockets championship years right, and they STILL can't do that! [​IMG]

    Actually, I believe that they were not on the cover either year. What you have is the special Texas edition. I'm not sure exactly how this works, but I believe that SI releases a global edition and then a special localized edition in cases where a team wins a championship. I also have the SI with the Rocks on the cover after their champioship win and this was *not* the regular edition on sale across the country.

    Wow. Could you imagine if SI wrote on the Bulls championships and mentioned something like, 'Kukoc and Rodman were integral in the Bulls' drive to their first-ever title in 1991"? There would be an all-out public backlash and SI as we know it would be no more.

    This is even worse, its the Glyde they're talking about. Shame on them.
