Houston Rockets 1994/95 Documentary | Double Clutch | 2nd 'Chip For Hakeem 🏆🏆 

THE best, he led the league in so many categories, and embarrassed the MVP David Robinson

He'd my C in my all time starting 5

I know

Not like today's game which is stupid.

Amen brother!!😊

Olajuwon was unstoppable in the 95 playoffs.

Olajuwon dominated Stockton & Malone, KJ & Barkley, Admiral & Rodman, and Shaq & Penny... all on the road. Never a better run@@hectorlopez1069

They traded for a a HOF player in Drexler mid season

Never underestimate the heart of a champion-RTJ

​@mythtek1 gave up O.T. then Maxwell quit.. played most of their games on the road..

So was the East. East was tough back then.

Offensive & Defensively homie

Both are some of the greatest two-way players regardless of position. Hakeem has the edge defensively, cuz it was also his duty to rebound while patrolling the painted area, and so rare that he could come out and defend one-on-one or help on the perimeter

And Hakeem was a far better player than LeBron and Shaq.. just watch the team he won with ..

just think, the rockets passed on Jordan the draft and went with Olajuwon!

Clyde was the real deal !!!! He just didn't chase I bright lights

The right coach to make a team, champions of the NBA.

Facts. I said the same thing. The players respected him. And Loved him. And vice versa.

He didn't do shit for Lakers😢😅

​@@ltatjsallday8709he was coach for a while and then he had to leave because of illness I think.

Facts

Both Jordan and Olajuwon were hall of fame bound players

McHale had the best post moves.

@krisharkleroad8 agree to disagree. Gues we just see it differently

Ha, ha. You're funny.

@Dr.ScatKohlenblo-nj2cv your right . He only swept a young healthy shack, beat a mvp david Robinson, dominated Ewing in the finals. Not to mention dominated in big man era

​@@krisharkleroad8but McHale wasn't a real Big Man

He had to move out the city !! 😂

@@DeuceDebonaire dam fr that’s going to far but he did miss 4 straight free throws and he probably lost a lot of bookies money Orlando were heavy favorites over the Rockets in 94-95!

​@@ghetto-ceethageneralg.f.m.6804 That was one game out of 4. They got swept. 4-0 with Shaq and Penny.

@@hrpaperstacks3661 he wasn't the same for the rest of his career! I know Orlando got swept I seen it!! 1st year without Clyde Dexler second year with!! Back to back! Then Shaq got swept the next year by the GOAT!

It ended his legacy in basketball

Better than Nick Anderson.

I also remember clearly. Shaq was my dude . I was 16 and was confident that Orlando would win . Was obsessed to the point my nickname became " SHAQ 😂 . You guys gave us a whooping and will " also" never forget 😂😆🤨😪. Memories hey 😂

I remember because I was watching game 7 from my bed while dealing with a sever case of food poisoning. I could only make it so far, I passed out when Kenny banked in his 3, I knew we were going to win after that.

I remember that the GOAT wasn't in the league at the time.

with 0 homecourt advantage.

Facts

Hakeem's two championship runs were more difficult and impressive than all of Mike's six

The Mavericks 2011 Championship season could arguably be the greatest playoff run of all time! Look it up!

@@TylerHingletonExcept for the part where Dream wouldn't have _had_ any championships if Mike had still been in the league.

Clyde Drexler is no "role player". Dude is top 50 player & top 5 SG.

@@benyah3390 He was like Karl Malone on 2004 Lakers. Hall of fame career but different role in that team

@@Ozzy1322 naah. Not even close. Drexler was still an allstar player and top 2 SG when he was with Houston. Karl Malone was done by the time he got to LA. Speak on what you know.

@@benyah3390 Agreed my bad

@@benyah3390Neither one of you know what you're talkin' about. Mailman was definitely not "done" in LA. He came right in and proceeded to somehow get 13 ppg, 9 rpg, and 4 dimes while playing with two cats that absolutely _demanded_ the ball night in and night out.

Especially compared to the Magic coach during those time outs. Guy said absolutely nothing of substance. Rudy giving Braveheart speeches and shit.

Born & raised in Houston, and no disrespect to Rudy, he was a great motivating coach and he knew how to rile the team up. But as a coaching mind and creating offensive opportunities?? compared to other coaches (phil jackson), he was LIGHT YEARS behind. The Rockets only strategy even after Drexler arrived was to throw it down to Hakeem and let him work or kick it out for a 3 when double teamed. This strategy definitely WORE OUT Hakeem during the championship runs, all while Jordan got 2 years of rest. You can tell by the significant decline in Hakeem’s production from the 95 season to 96 season.

@@StayAKTV Results speaks for themselves his players obviously respected him if they didn't they wouldn't have come back from a 3-1 defecit. He was no Phil Jackson but a good players coach. Especially considering he got the most out of a pretty weak roster outside of Hakeem and Drexler.

They defeated the Knicks, they could of defeated the bulls with Jordan too.

@@hectorlopez1069 the magic knocked jordan and the bulls out of the playoffs this year

@@jpeoplesman1 Jordan only played a few games.

@@kalepwa should have been well rested for the playoffs playing only 17 games in season

this entire decade and era was both amazing and painful and frustrating for fans of other strong teams that were contenders and mainstays in the playoffs like the knicks, the pacers and the utah jazz with stockton and malone. all of these teams pretty much could have been dominant and won repeating back to back championships or 2 in 4 or 3 in 5 or anything like that if jordan and the bulls werent like a supernatural entity during that time that just would not let go and lose. i was a kid and i wasnt even super in love with Mike but it was like watching a fuckin alien play ball. he did NOT miss clutch shots and did things that i still just cannot comprehend like having the flu in a particular shitty year to have the flu and dropping triple doubles and 40 or 50 points and shit. karl malone would be dominant in any era and i feel like both them and the knicks would have multiple trophies if the bulls werent a thing. its fun to theorize but ultimately this era was so fun to watch.

Two friends do it for the rockets on the second championship.

Elie gave a kiss to the suns. The shot to send them straight home.

Agreed. So many elimination shots throughout history, but this one always stands out to me, and doing on the road against an opposing crowd makes it sting even more LMAO

RIP Rudy T.

Even with Jordan playing, they still beat Jordan in the Finals, as well.

No one beat jordan in finals

ok bub hug some more trees y dont u? hug a couple for me too.

@@hectorlopez1069 houston never beat chicago youre trippin. houston repeated with back to back championships in 2 years where MJ was retired and correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure he took that time to play baseball for the white sox before coming back to 3 peat once again with the bulls winning the third and final ship in the second 3 peat in 1999.

He was a great role player tho there is a reason why winning teams always wanted to have him on there team he was clutch and added a winning mentality in the dressing room.

Only Giannis and Jordan has done. Hakeem also won FMVP and a Chip that season and made ALL NBA 1st team and All Defense 1 st team he literally had the perfect season.

Lol, please. You Rockets fans are reachin'.

Mj is still better as a defender as an offensive player.

Agreed. Even Jordan himself stated in an interview that his Bulls had no answer for the big man. With Grant gone to Orlando and no solid replacement to create an effective double team on Olajuwon, the Rockets would be a hard team to stop.

As a Texan and a UH grad this was awesome, but they wouldn’t have beaten the Bulls had Jordan not stepped away from the game when he did. Hakeem would have had great games against the Bulls, but not enough to overcome Jordan.

Fr the Bulls had no good big men in 1995 even if they had made the finals Rockets would have won because Hakeem would have dominated down low. He dominated against Horace Grant and Shaq so he would have been even more lethal vs Luc Longley and Bill Wennington lol.

@@SignalCorps1 I mean Bulls had an awful big men cast in 1995 after Horace grant left so yeah it was possible they basically had no response to him. Rockets would have been a nightmare matchup against the Bulls.

No one knows that and it’s ridiculous to think otherwise. Maybe the Rockets still win those championships, maybe they win only one, or maybe none. What we do know is that Jordan is on record as saying that his Bulls had matchup nightmares against them and the Rockets were the only team to have a winning record in the regular season against the Bulls in the 90’s.

@@ericmoralez390 in the two years Jordan was gone 93-94 & basically 94-95 they were 2-2 v Houston. Houston was not beating the Bulls in 94 with Jordan and they still had Horace Grant. 95 would have been tough with no Grant but maybe Grant stays if Jordan is still around and doesn’t leave for Orlando.

Grant or no Grant, Hakeem would have had all the bulls bigs on the bench in foul trouble with no one to stop him. Even with Jordan, the rockets had a guy by the name of Vernon Maxwell “mad max” who could consistently slow down MJ and make him work for his points. Either way it’s fun to talk about all these hypotheticals, but unfortunately we’ll never know. It’ll always be one of the NBA’s biggest what ifs 🤷🏻‍♂️

Heard of the 2011 mavs

Hakeem was a goalie so he didn't even learn most of these trades since they are needed for attacking outfield players not keepers he literally got into basketball at 15 and learned all of this from scratch.

Clyde wasn't?

I thought Robinson was MVP of that season.

@@beetlejuice4357 Clyde was added in the '95 season
