I am 43 years old now. When this game aired live in 1996 I was 15 yrs old. I remember this game and the feeling of excitement watching this game and wanting to go and shoot hoops after. Watching this game like a lot of the old o ones, and I still feel that excitement as I did back then. I watch today's game and feel like meh. Let me not even get started about the all star game.

It’s insane watching how much better these teams were before the modern garbage era of the NBA. They still ran fast breaks all the time but EVERYBODY ran the floor and they all PASSED THE BALL once, twice, even three times on a fast break breaking down the defense until the guy who had the highest percentage shot got the ball. Totally selfless, no one guy keeping the ball all the way down the floor and then running into a crowd of defenders to draw a foul or just jacking up a 3 with 20 seconds left on the shot clock.

@@benyah3390 Thorpe was more of defensive minded player that could score occasionally Rudy Tomjanovich's system was the reason he didn't have as many plays ran for him. His presence (along with Carl Herrera) played a major factor going up against the Knicks big frontline in their championship series. Remember the Rockets after trading him didn't have a legitimate PF for a while which eventually got exploited by the Sonics who had forwards that all played in the low post. That's why the Sonics shot such a high % against them in both the regular season and postseason the Rockets had to double team the forwards often giving the Sonics constant open looks. When the Rockets actually had a strong frontline in between that period (Thorpe/Herrera and later Barkley/Willis) the Sonics shooting % average was significantly lower.

@@ChrisM07 I'm aware, which is why I said having Thorpe was like Jordan having Rodman. But at the end of the day, let's be honest; we're taking a prime healthy Sampson over Thorpe.

@@benyah3390 I'm just saying Thorpe did provide paint help he had a low post game also. Thorpe used to have plays ran for him often before Rudy changed that somewhat making him more of an off the ball scorer. With all the shooters the Rockets had Thorpe didn't have to score all the time to be effective on the floor he could do the other little things.

It’s about the uniform. Why change if the previous has acquired championship pedigree? Ironically, Seattle Sonics changed theirs and went all the way to the Finals (including dethroning Houston). Sweeping regular season series don’t mean a thing, eventually. Chicago Bulls is back; the Magic has waned.

What if kept this young rockets team with Cassell and Horry instead of trading them for Barkeley? Could replace Drexler later with another AS guard or scoring SF

Even as a Piston's fan, 80's basketball was too physical & dirty, modern basketball is too soft & reliant on 3-pt shooting. 90's era was just PERFECT!

I saw plenty of 3pt shots on this brief game summary , not really matching today narrative that back in the 90s the 3pt shoot was barely used lol. Just like today, some teams had their onw specialized player for 3's ( it doesnt mean no one else couldnt attempt shoot 3s) and yes, currently Curry overexploited the 3point shot. The main point here: the 3pt shoot was used as well, it wasnt that relegated just like todays kids or todays comentator aficionados at espn want us to believe.
