Houston Rockets 1993/94 Documentary | Clutch City | 1st 'Chip For Hakeem 

same as me.

Same

Same for me to 🤟🤟🤟🛰️🛰️🛰️🚀🚀🚀🚀

Me too

I'm with y'all; The Dream was Nasty, but the humblest.

He was so explosive.

He was similar to Pippen when he played the SF position, it's been overlooked throughout his career because of his reputation for hitting game winners and he wasn't handling the ball like Pippen.

Put Rob in the hall of fame right now

Yes Jordan retired that would be awesome I think that Chicago would play two times in final with rockets if Jordan had play in Chicago he choose baseball

​@@master-kq3nwrockets get 1 championship from Jordan, but they won't win back to back.

Check those fun facts before posting... 1. It's Hakeem 2. Not even top 50 in assists 3. 14th in rebounds 4. 13th in points

Our favorite player in this life.

and sensational

I think he's the greatest player ever just because he dominated on both sides. 🚀🤘🏿🌌

Shaq played with superstar/HOF guards almost his entire career (Penny's injuries prevented him from being a HOFer himself but he was obviously a superstar when him and Shaq played together). On this Rockets team the most consistent guard in crunch time was Cassell, a rookie.

I would still take Rusell and Kareem over him but his 3rd for me all time amongst Centers better than Wilt and Shaq.

Nobody is ready for this conversation #34 leads a sixth seed team to its first title. That's unheard of til this day. 🚀🤘🏿🌌

He was an all star in 92, played with Olajuwon in the 92 all star game. He was a very good player at PF.

They had their final shot in 1999 but sadly they still couldn't get it done 😢😢 but now that they are in the playoffs hopefully they can get one this year

An OJ fan, this one hurts even more

It sure hurts after losing to the bulls in the playoffs and rockets in the Finals.

Olajuwon is more better than Ewing.

@@hectorlopez1069 I am not a English professor…. But more better is not it pal!!!!!

I don't know if Houston beats the sonics, if the sonics beat the nuggets. The sonics were the only team that could eliminate them.

@@hectorlopez1069 This Rockets team did have the personnel to beat them, when Thorpe was there they played the EC style of ball which was extremely defensive minded. After Thorpe was traded for Drexler the Rockets started playing the style that was more common in the West. They still were a good defensive team at times but their frontline was more vulnerable without Thorpe and Herrera.

​@@ChrisM07rockets got the sonics in 7 games in 97.

Houston was destined to win in 94. It took a 7th game Overtime and 3 horrible calls against the Rockets in that O.T. for Seattle to pull it out. In 94 the Rockets added Cassell and Ellie to the bench and would've won regardless of who they played that year.

​@@elbertbass9259 The Sonics in 96 had an easier path out the West in general. The Kings were practically a 1 man team (the 2nd half of the last game without Richmond validated that) and the Rockets had Chucky Brown out of position at PF while also were playing their 6th consecutive series w/o hca. Considering those things the Sonics should've gotten to the wcf and they capitalized on it. The team that lost to the Nuggets would've had a much tougher road out of the West, the majority of the players on the Nuggets had no playoff experience and still were able to exploit all of the Sonics achilles heels more experienced teams in the following rounds would've obviously done the same thing.

He was a good player as well, he did put up points. He should have gotten a ring with the rockets.

I remember watching that on T.V. for a bit. You could say the OJ case started the rise of celebrity social media, although it would be before the internet. I'd like to say that Princess Diana's death was the last great moment before the internet age took off, but imagine the insanity that would have brought us if something like that Ford Bronco being put all over the internet would have been like.

I think hakeem was not holding a US passport in 1992... by 1996 he was and that's why he was on the 1996 US Olympic team. Correct me if I'm wrong.

@@ShaWiffle Hakeem did not have citizenship. Then he became a U.S. citizen, then he was eligible to be on the dream team

Yeah, time flies

Supersonics were always eliminating the rockets. Sonics had their numbers.

​@@hectorlopez1069 The George Karl-Rudy Tomjanovich era is when the matchups actually mattered with them being contending teams. The Sonics "having their number" is hugely overstated 96 was the only time the Sonics beat them convincingly with Chucky Brown as the starting PF, he had to play low post defense on the Sonics forwards which he wasn't used to doing and needed help often which gave the Sonics numerous open shot opportunities. The Sonics FG% average was significantly lower when Thorpe was there he was very psychical and usually was able to guard players straight up w/o double team help.

The Knicks last won a title in 1971 I think

@@claytonphillips85 73 to be exact.

@@freakyfornash thanks for the correction

@@claytonphillips85 No problem! That's probably the last time they'll ever win it, with how bad the franchise has been for so long now too! L.O.L.!

@@freakyfornash yep exactly but I just hope somewhere in the near future they can make a comeback

Nah! I don't think so

Why, they got beaten by the rockets.

The Knicks were a tough team in 94. They gave it their best. They are a great team.

This was done officially by the NBA, this isn't just a random youtuber that did this. The NBA use to do a commemorate home video for every team that won it all.

He was good coming off the bench.

They would still beat the bulls, if Jordan did play. Rockets were the nemesis of the bulls.

Little kid, Olajuwon was 11-5 against Jordan up to that point

It's simply untrue. When they won the following year in 1995 MJ had returned and he was playing. Period. He was eliminated by Shaq. Hakeem is a very legit winner.

@@hectorlopez1069 and Scottie Pippen wanted to cut off the head of the snake if it were #30 of the Rockets perhaps lol

@@universegalaxydoesntknowba4486 show to me the 96-98 of the two you arrogant piece of ----

MJ is the one that should say thank you rockets for not getting out of the west, or I lose to them.

The Rockets matched up extremely well with the Bulls as far as intangibles and having multiple guys on the team that could handle the ball, it was the Suns and Sonics who would play small without a legitimate C often that gave the Rockets trouble.

Jordan returned just in time to faceplant and lose to the same Orlando team Houston swept 😂

I hope so

The Sonics weren't even the team to beat in the West at the time the Suns were with them being the reigning conference champions. The Rockets lost hca in that series going on the road trailing 0-2 and still ended up winning in the end. There was no way they were losing the wcf at that point regardless. The Rockets w/Thorpe were a top 5 defensive team the Sonics definitely weren't getting all those open looks they got in 96 where they shot over 50% in both the regular season and postseason series.

@ChrisM07 all the Rockets needed to do was pick up Kevin Willis for 97 and keep that championship team together for another run. Barkley was a mistake because he took away from Olajuwon. Drexler knew how to win with Hakeem from their college days, but Barkley demanded the ball when it should've gone into Hakeem. The two Chicago games in 97 are a perfect example. The first game, Chicago, blew the Rockets out with Barkley in the lineup. The second game Barkley was hurt, and Hakeem had a monster game with the Rockets blowing the Bulls out. The same could be said with the Utah series. Without Barkley, the Rockets knocked the jazz out of the playoffs in 94 and 95, but then they added Barkley, and Utah wins in 6 in 97 I really believe the owner thought he knew something about basketball and told Rudy to destroy a championship team to get Barkley just like he did with Drexler in 95.

@@elbertbass9259 You're right but Barkley wanted to go there and Rudy understandably couldn't say no. I do believe they were thinking about getting Willis first though so Rudy decided to just get them both. Having 2 ball dominant low post players caused too much standing around and "my turn your turn" offense which was probably the reason the Rockets didn't put the Sonics away immediately after winning G3 and G4 on the road.
