    I've posted another version of this shot before. But people should always repost it.
    cause Maxwell is FOREVER!

    Side Note:
    I love that Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock song playing at the Summit before the play starts.

    That was when the NBA was hip hop.

    whatever dude. obviously you don't know jack about Vernon.
    try googling the game where Maxwell dropped 30points in one quarter and name me another player who's done that.

    Man, I was at that game!

    That was one of the most memorable games I had went to. We were standing on the balcony of the upper level just waiting for the game to be over and next thing you know, the whole Summit erupts in joy when he made that miracle shot.....

    Funny thing, I was wearing his jersey that game and being a 7th grader I was all walking with my head up trying to show off the jersey.....haha, those were the days!

    Thanks so much for posting that! That was awesome. Vernon Maxwell has always been one of my all-time favorite Houston Rockets.

    Thanks for the video JB. Great stuff.

    For the present Rockets, Rafer would most probably be taking that shot. :D

    As a side note, Rex Chapman hit a similar game winning shot (actually even crazier looking) for the Suns in the playoffs couple years back.

    Actually (believe it or not) that is exactly how Rudy T drew it up.

    1/3 of team points, since the score was ~120 pts. That is the same as a 30 pt game with a score of ~90 pts. I wouldn't consider that a one man show, but maybe it is. Depends on how you see it.

    I admirably request a clip of MAD MAX (1994 playoffs hero) all up on Michael Quitter Jordan's grill and playing tough D on His Quiterness. Do you have that, sir? :eek:

    i wish David Stern would open up the NBA Archives so we can buy some videos!
    I would love the Jordan Bulls vs Dream Rox and I would love to get the legendary Game 3 vs Phoenix (Choke City -> Clutch City).

    You're out of bounds 3PO.

    There is no boundary on that legendary team of heroes.

    Their heart is stronger than any team in NBA HISTORY. The proof is the all the plays Horry, Cassell, and Mario did to win additional championships.

    I pray upon that legendary team to give this year's team so good fortune!

    it's like the shot one of the Suns player made, it's long times ago and I cannot remember his name.
