    Thank you! I think the influence of OT on the Rockets 93-94 team is criminally underrated. Hakeem had the soft hands, Otis had the power grip.

    Rauf! Rauf! Mahmud is on Fire!

    Not really but it was a fun cheer anyway that Denver fans used to do.

    Great vid and its fun to watch those guys in their prime and I really wish the NBA would go back to that style again.

    Also what has Dream and Deke's relationship been like? In the video they said they were great friends but I haven't heard or seen much of them together even when Deke was on the Rockets and you figured they might interact more.

    Don't remember where I heard it, but I seem to remember there being a rift between the 2 of them. Deke criticized Hakeem for not giving back more to Africa. Hakeem saying he does but he just doesn't advertise it.

    It was a long time ago so my memory is a little fuzzy.

    They ruined the game for big men with the three second clock and the semi circle also the refs were much much better back then.
