    Mad Max would not be able to stop Jordan today because the Foster Bois would foul him out to meet the spread.

    I don't recall claiming Tracy faked an injury. I doubt he had microfracture surgery for fun. However, he quit on the team in the infamous Toronto game just to be petulant, had the aforementioned surgery on his own, intentionally not communicating with the front office, thereby hurting his trade value, tried to be a tough leader with his famous "It's on me" declaration only to shirk that responsibility as soon as things went south, and picked against his own team in a series in which he was injured.

    He certainly had some great moments as a Houston Rocket, but I think these episodes sully his legacy here. To my knowledge, he has never expressed any regret for them, and, as I said, he seems as an "analyst" to look for ways to disparage the current Rockets and Harden at every opportunity.

    The rumor was we were going to get Vince Carter for Tmac .
    Vince turned out to be the more reliable player and more professional.
    And obviously a better dunker

    Rockets would have beaten the 90s bulls in 7 games.

    They had no one on that team that could stop Hakeem. Then, his defence was unreal. Shotblocking, steals, intimidation..

    Jordan would have been made to work the whole series. Mad Max would have slowed him down as he has done before. Mad Max did not back down and was not scared.

    But we are forgetting the great equalizer..... 3 pt shooting.... Rockets played inside out and had Kenny, Mario, Horry, Cassell, Max raining 3s. Bulls were not a great 3 point shooting team.

    In summary, Hakeem owns the paint, the other rockets own the perimeter, while Jordan would have scored, but not as dominate.

    I wanted Jordan to beat Shaq so bad in 1995.
    Since the Bulls didn't do that, the league is now never mentioning that year ever again.

    1995 Hakeem Olajuwon in the playoffs destroyed David Robinson and took down Shaq

    and these idiots on TV and stupid lil Xan and Lil Pump looking kids don't respect that??

    They want no one to mention our back2back titles and those teams are always disrespected.

    That’s what’s amazing that the new generation of rockets fans want desperate attention from espn

    It’s like they don’t know crap about their history
