    The Sonics played the Rockets the year after the Rockets went back to back and swept them. Despite that I recall being amazed at the level of basketball being played. That was the 96 run to first runner up

    The dream shake from the baseline was something special to watch. He was one of my favs

    Hakeem, Ewing, and The mailman all had a great mid range game

    I know, I know, pink tutus and shit but those two uniforms are clown duds compared to the traditional red and gold of Houston and the green and gold of Seattle. The Seattle uniforms from the mid eighties to early nineties are one of the best uniforms of all time.

    Fat Barkley kind of fucked that one up. The Sonics were always the hardest matchup for the Rockets, I don't think they ever got past them head to head. That being said, the Rockets were a tougher matchup for the Bulls. Not sure about the '96 team, but I think the '94 or '95 Rockets had a legit shot to beat an MJ Bulls team. Hakeem was on another level, T's and P's to the other Hall of Fame centers that tried to check him:

    I love his game. Nobody could handle the ball like Hakeem at his size ever. Imagine Hakeem in a small ball lineup, Anthony Davis but even better.
