Hakeem olajuwon was everybody's favorite NBA player in NBA history.

[@sschevmale24]

Well yea he wasn't a douche like Jordan and pippen

[@superfly19751]

Man, Rudy T is an amazing individual. He is an absolute sweetheart any where, any place. Very happy he found great success. What a great group of guys he had in those championship years. Very good guys. They were a family.

[@chokewholeddotcom]

Almost tearing watching this, everyone that loves basketball should watch this and understand how great these runs were. Hakeem was very patient, and finally got the crew together to take it to the promised land. I was a teen watching the NBA, and we loved The Dream. It is a part of our childhood seeing him rise up and do it in such a classy way.

Hakeem olajuwon is 58year, he is best center , I very like he, king of africa

[@hectorlopez1069]

They were part of my childhood days.

[@jlobiafra]

I had no idea Dave ward was still alive. When I was a kid the ABC channel 13 news crew was dave ward, jan Carson, marvin zindler, ed Brandon, and bob Allen

[@hectorlopez1069]

He is in his 80s. He's been on ABC 13 for a long time.

[@jerey53]

[@christopherwoods9830]

greatest idea ever

[@folusojoseph989]

Hey, Vernon, I was the guy you always saw and spoke with at the Galleria Dillards. Nice seeing ya again. Y’all are wonderful. How ‘bout Hakeem? That’s the best ever Center in NBA. Mario Ellie has got the most swag though.

[@boomhaueroo8703]

Man I miss Mr. Ward

[@hectorlopez1069]

They did so much for the city of Houston when I was a kid.

[@damonsonnier34]

All you are missing is just Sam, Robert, Kenny, Carl, and Otis.

[@JustLikeHeaven77]

Great show!

[@keldenrobertson7894]

this was so cool . grate work.

[@hectorlopez1069]

NBA was more of a team sport in the 80s and 90s.

[@hectorlopez1069]

The 2x NBA champions

[@hectorlopez1069]

Vernon Maxwell was the one player that didn't back down from Michael Jordan.

[@hectorlopez1069]

@Aaron9 come on. He couldn't do shit with the Rockets.

[@THESMILINGHARTNELLS]

Vernon was not the only one who didn’t back down from Jordan.

[@superfly19751]

Mad Max!!

[@hectorlopez1069]

They would of still won those 2 championships and still beat Michael Jordan in the NBA finals if Michael didn't retire.

[@cuda8735]

Do you think Jordan would've won 8 championship if he not have retired?

[@hectorlopez1069]

@@cuda8735 no way on earth.

[@leq6992]

Yeah, no. MJ doesn't retire and you add Kukoc to that first 3-peat team, nobody's beating the Bulls in '94. That team won 55 games and got completely hosed out of eliminating the same Knicks team that had the Rockets on the ropes big time. All without the GOAT. If there's one thing the 91-93 Bulls teams were missing, it was an offensive spark and playmaker off the bench who could spell both Jordan and Pippen for some minutes. Kukoc would have been that guy, and he proved to be a big time clutch player as a rookie to boot.

[@arianprofit]

Lol Vernon keeps leaving the team again. 15:45

[@hectorlopez1069]

These rockets would of crushed Michael Jordan and the Chicago bulls in the NBA finals if MJ was still playing.

[@hectorlopez1069]

@Aaron9 what do you mean, you lay off on the drugs.

[@marcuspope83]

Listen why come they didn't beat them in 90 or 91or 92 then

[@olanrewajuogunse7177]

If you know the history of the Rockets, then you would understand their struggle starting in 1987. It's actually remarkable how the championship team was put together in just 2 years.
