Watching 90s sports footage makes me feel old. Those graphics look ancient! Without knowing, I would have the thought the footage was from the 70s, but nope...it's from when I was a teenager. :/ Even the crowd looks dated.
why is drexler wearing a blazers jersey? kidding, I remember listening to it like it was yesterday. You had to pay per view these, as even the turner station was blacked out. I'm glad we're way past that though and we live in an age where all houstonians can watch their games without suits getting in the way!
lol. i remember watching that play in real-time. sick. was expecting one of the ball-palmed full court passes before clicking on the thread.
I sat next to him for a year at the Austin Toros when they were associated with the Rockets, he is a very nice guy and a big golfer. And his hands are the size of Oven mits. DD
I went to that game. I believe it was the Rod Strickland "Dream Came Out of Nowhere" game. :grin: WAS HE??!? Wasn't he. For a moment, I thought the OP was about Thorpe's one-handed palm-the-ball-then-snowbird it passes. STILL GOOD, nonetheless.
OP was in 2nd grade when Thorpe was on the team. Didn't become the NBA aficionado I am today until around the time T-Mac got traded to the team.
Saw him at the dome at an Oilers game when i was in 8th grade (I think the video is 94 season so had to be two or three years before this). I was with two or 3 of my other 12/13 year old friends and he was very nice and very approachable. And yes. His hands were gigantic.
He (Dick Versace) was one of my favs to listen to. I also enjoyed listening to Chuck Daly when he did some of the Rockets playoff games in 1995.
