    Yeah, the 83 Rockets. The infamous team that tanked (allegedly) the season to get the Ralph Sampson pick.

    I do believe that Allen Leavell was the star of that team.

    14.8 points, 6.7 assists, over 2 steals per.... oh yeah, laying the ground work for future stars. If not for pioneers like Leavell, there are no T-Macs.

    Anyone else know what that is????

    I saw Leavell take a charge on Charles Barkley. CB had a full head of steam too. Nearly flattened Leavell...literally. The whole bench was laughing at him for such a stupid move.

    Nope, this was something else. It was equally stupid though.

    He walked all naked behind somebody who was doing a postgame interviewed in front of the live TV camera in the locker room.

    Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. *snicker*

    Alas, thats not what I was referring to.

    Here is a clue: It was after his Rocket days when he was playing in the CBA. The video of this made it onto news broadcasts across the country.

    The filler that they had in between the different teams was almost as crappy as the teams they were talking about...

    He choked a Ref until the Ref was unconscious because he disagreed with a foul call.

    Bingo.

    And it was all caught on tape.

    I believe he was convicted of assault for his actions.
