    he was implicated and I think indicted on charges of tax evasion-selling or trading up 1st class tickets on Airlines (furnished by NBA ) for transit to games. He would sell the 1st class ticket and trade down to economy and pocket the difference- never reported the income.

    He is retired now....

    IIRC, he was not allowed to ref any future playoff games in 95. I believe he retired in the 95 offseason.

    He had it out for Clyde that game.

    Avery Johnson was just a good pg(great leader) but when that fool played the Rockets he was an all-star. I can't even begin to count how many times he just drove into the lane for an uncontested lay-up. I still get mad thinking about it.

    Actually, it wasn't until after our championship years that he became a Rocket killer. I remember thinking, "just leave that guy open, he couldn't hit the ground if he landed out of an airplane." And then suddenly, over night (or maybe over one offseason) he had a respectable outside shot! Where'd THAT come from???

    i cant remember any other player doing us any more worse than nate mcmillian. this dude was a horrible 3-point shooter. but when ever he played the rockets he ended up shooting 60% from three point range.:eek: as a matter of fact, the whole super sonics of the 90s gave the rockets fits. especially shawn kemp dunking all over olajuwon and thorpe all the time.

    I disliked Micheal Cage and I am sure Dream did too. They had at least three seperate altercations if I remember correctly.
