Houston Rockets 1994 Championship Season 1/5

[KWCline91]

Did Hakeem's block on Kevin Johnson at 6:07 occur in the regular season or in the playoffs?

[Soundtrack1000]

@KWCline91 Playoffs.

[KWCline91]

@Soundtrack1000 When did it happen?

[dodogrko]

Sonics would  of won the title this year if they got past the first round.

[doddi1984]

@dodogrko Why do you say that? Teams like Utah & Houston were better teams in that time. I don't think they would have gotten past Utah even.

And the Knicks 94 was the best team in the East. I mean, who in Sonics could stop Ewing in the middle? Or Stark's 3-pointers which even were a problem for Rockets? Plus, they had a great point-guard in Derek Harper, and a hard worker in Charles Oakley.

If it would have been Sonics Vs. Knicks in 94 Finals, I think Knicks would have won that series 4-2.

[dodogrko]

@doddi1984 you forget the Sonics won 62 games and were the best team in the NBA that season.

[doddi1984]

@dodogrko 63, actually. But that does not matter once you reach the Playoffs, cause mentality of the players changes there. Sonics were cocky and careless in the Denver series, and Denver punished them for it cause they underestimated their opponent despite being a #8 team. Shawn Kemp was stupid enough to say in the interviews after Game 2 that it would be a sweep. Big mistake, cause Denver proved him wrong. Guess he learned to keep his mouth shut after that.

[MrKingmoe360]

that why he is the dream

hes one off the best players in the NBA at his time but he still did not beat Jordan so fuck him

[MrKingmoe360]

that why he is the dream

[ryler05]

I can't wait till the Dallas Mavericks dvd comes out for their championship!!

[Soundtrack1000]

@ryler05 why??? Listen song from the beggining and relax;)

[thenintendogamer]

@Soundtrack1000 Fucking pussy ass bitch shitting on my profile quit spamming.

[gustori35]

i hope the rockets have a couple more championships in there future.. hopefully sooner than later!!

[Soundtrack1000]

@gustori35 hey , is this all production music from music library , there are some great tunes ?

[thenintendogamer]

@Soundtrack1000 Shut the fuck up, just enjoy the music and quit asking on every basketball video what the music is.

[thenintendogamer]

Holy shit Rick Adleman 9:32! I know he said he wouldn't coach the Rockets next year but I really hope he changes his mind, like Phil Jackson did in '04.

[Soundtrack1000]

The music intro is such a badass.

[Thekingpac2014]

great team the rockets had from 94'-95' though but just speaking the truth 4real

[Thekingpac2014]

jordan beat the knicks 3 times in a row 91'-93' already so do you houston fans think the rockets would beat the bulls really and dont say that 94'-95'season and why mj was not there in the finals that season he was not in basketball shape after retiering 2 years b4 also if the knicks beat pippen and the bulls in 94'ecf in a 6 game series and very tuff battle and they get beat by the rockets and the 95'magic same thing b4 mj not in shape and shaq and penny at 23 and 21 years old were not ready.

[ryler05]

@Thekingpac2014 I think that the 94 rockets could give the early bulls from 91 -93 a very hard time. Jordan greatest SG of all time Hakeem greatest center of all time. Plus both teams had great roleplayers off the bench. That Rockets team was very underrated

[atm1919]

@ryler05 Yeah the dream would have killed cartwright but if the bulls went small with horace on hakeem with pippen or kukoc at the 3/4 with jordan at the 2 and b.j. at the guard i think the bulls would have handled them. (remember kukoc had just come over and jordan didnt give any notice when he retired and that yr's bulls still put up a good fight against the knicks without m.j.)

[atm1919]

eh doubt it

[ryler05]

@atm1919 the bulls had matchup problems with the rockets no one could gaurd hakeem.

[atm1919]

@ryler05 And I think every body on the planet had problems stopping MJ. lol and mad max and smith would not have stopped mj, and mario okay he might slowed mj down but then would and hell was going to guard scottie? The rockets would have had problems getting the ball to hakeem, with BJ, MJ and Scottie at the wings the rockets don't have an answer. Ewing killed the bulls but the knicks kept losing, why guard play their gurads would have struggled like NY did for all those years against the bulls

[ryler05]

@atm1919 Ok Actually vernon maxwell could gaurd mj very well MJ once said "The 2 players I had the hardest time scoring against was Joe Dumars and Vernon Maxwell. Hakeem was a better center than Ewing for sure. Mad max held Jordan to only 9 points in one game. MJ also said that he would put Hakeem as greatest center of all time. Plus Houston was Clutch city they had heart. Knicks were not clutch at all more like choke. Not saying houston would win but people cant just say the bulls would win

[atm1919]

@ryler05 Wow I would love to hear that sound bite giving mad max that much credit. Also I checked the numbers Maxwell never held jordan under 10 pts. In fact the fewest pts mj had on max was 16 when max was with the spurs in 97. Also in the h2h match up mj only avg 30.6 with a 49.8% from the field and 42.6 3pt% 5.9 reb and 4.9 assist against max. I agree Hakeem was better than Ewing but as I said I think the Hoston wings would have struggled to get him the ball. I mean the Bulls without...

[atm1919]

Respond to this video... mj still took the knicks to 6 games. If the Bulls could do that without mj im sure they would have knocked off the knicks with MJ. That being said it took the rockets 7 games to knock off the Knicks which were not as talented the Bulls with MJ. And I'm glad hoston beat the knicks with "heart," and "clutch." That being said how can you use that argument against the Bulls then? I mean you did watch MJ kill the Sonics and Jazz right even with the flu?

[Thekingpac2014]

just being real if mikes dad didnt die rockets would have been destroyed just sayin it might have been a 6 game sereies dont get mad at me 4 saying this but its the truth okay they beat the spurs with the season MVP david robinson and the suns but the beat NY by luck the dream clearly outmatched ewing in the 94'finals but it was john starks that didnt pass the ball in game 6or7 and that just F them up and who were the knicks they almost got beat by chi town without jordan soooooo.

[TexasFightt]

Rockets is probably the best Houston team ever. besides the Oliers but unfortunately they left for freakin Tennessee

[animegamer77]

Love the Rockets and the Bulls! Olajuwan and Jordan!

[Rainieruf]

one person is a maver-hicks fan.

[erick051784]

Chicago had a chance to win again if MJ dont retired..

[Rainieruf]

@erick051784 yeah if MJ's dad didnt die or anything, you know shit happens.

[MrScottydabody]

@Rainieruf jordan would have been at the height of his physical powers, i'm seeing da bulls over them rockets all day and everyday, and i'm guessing that you are too

[Soundtrack1000]

@MrScottydabody where to find this fucking music from this championship video is this production music?!

[thenintendogamer]

@erick051784 NAAAAH Rockets would have won.

[Soundtrack1000]

@erick051784 you find the continent with that comment looser.

[thenintendogamer]

@erick051784 Hell naw

[machine9191]

olajuwon simply a great player

[Angelslover9]

i like this song at 5:14

[Soundtrack1000]

@Angelslover9 name of song?

[PhilipTheBigOne]

8:31 is SICK!!! The best block I've seen in a long time!!!

[irishpanic]

6:33-6:55, i was at that game and if u go frame by frame u can see me in the crowd

[seraphlgabri]

Olajuwon is my best-ever center of all time; and he always will be.

[Soundtrack1000]

@seraphlgabri the best is Gene not Hakeem:))))))))

[sersarsor]

didn't the rockets get 22 straight in 2007?

Half of it without Yao

[tykk86]

@sersarsor Yeah, but this video is a bit old, from before 07.

[fffastway]

olajuwon was the only player in history to be in the top ten in steals and blocked shots in a season. and he did it for 12 straight.

[xraistlin83x]

This was a great team but everyone knows they would have lost if Jordan didn't retire.

[bigtwan83]

@xraistlin83x actually the rockets were the team the bulls had a problem with the year before, even MJ said it himself. They were like 3-1 verses the bulls in the 92-93 regular season i think.

[fffastway]

@xraistlin83x the rockets won the 1995 championship WITH JORDAN IN THE LEAGUE. MICHEAL JORDAN WAS WHIPPED AND OUTPLAYED BY PENNY HARDAWAY IN THE 95 FINALS. TSK TSK. TOO BAD.

[markyz99]

@fffastway

News flash: Jordan didn't play a full 82 games that season.

[fffastway]

@markyz99 excuses exuses. he was out outplayed by penny hardaway. no exuses. thats like saying after getting your ass whipped in a real fight "i lost cuz my back hurt" no excuses.

[markyz99]

@fffastway

Chill out dude. I'm stating a fact, not an excuse. Jordan was not the same player in 1995 when he came back in midseason. Look at what happen in the 1996 playoffs. Think about what might have been if Jordan never retired.

[Soundtrack1000]

@markyz99 would be sweep right?!

[payodepayos]

good old times reminded me when i usted to play i was 18 back then and i met her the love of my live s.a.a

[markyz99]

I wonder if they were more focused because they knew they had a chance with Michael Jordan not playing at all that year.

[fffastway]

the rockets won the 19959 championship WITH MICHEAL JORDAN IN THE LEAGUE. JORDAN WAS OUTPLAYED BY PENNY HARDAWAY IN THE 95 FINALS. OUCH.

[cjthepinoy]

lmao blazer coach said the exact same thing he said in the bulls-blazers series in 1992 finals lol

[TheScrewHouse]

main these niggas here were cold dawg houston texas da best

[fballjones]

Hakeem Olajuwon is hands down one of the best centers to ever play the game.

[lordstsimon]

Never Underestimate the heart of a champion. An exciting, special team.

[Soundtrack1000]

@lordstsimon where to find music in this?

[nobodysperfect06]

the Bulls could have repeated at NBA Champions again if Michael Jordan hadn't retired

[weedovadose510]

hakeem was the fuckin man!

[TheErasedx]

Hakeem, Proboly The Greatest Defender of all time

[BravoSquirrel]

Great team. Lots of fun to watch.

[HoustonRocket101]

Im not sure I will look into it for you

[HoustonRocket101]

For all you knick cry baby's im going to post the whole of game 7

ENJOY - Knick Bitches:

Clutch City 3 is just a matter of time:

Rockets RUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLE

[SkipyOnline]

I had this on cassete as a kid.I almost know it word for word loool.I love the music video at the very end!

[Soundtrack1000]

the music on the beggining is ?

[Kevinsuperior13]

Kevin Garnett doesn't even sum of to Hakeem.

Kevin Garnett is trash. The Dream is much more talented than Garnett

[codaydecoy2009]

I wouldn't say Garnett is trash but he defiantly is NOT Hakeem.

[im264shirt]

@codaydecoy2009

defiantly or definitely?

[210banks1]

shit who has 4 championships n pussy ass rockets have wat wat only 2 from a million years ago

[210banks1]

rockets suk GO SPURS GO

[Soundtrack1000]

spurs sucked really bad then:)

[boston312]

Hakeem had the best footwork for any center throughout the history of the NBA.

[mcnuggets9020]

idk cause kevin garnett is like another hakeem. so its pretty hard

[MrTitanj]

@boston312 Man that was a great season..Hakeem was the man..You're right about the footwork- don't forget the defense.

[3koboy]

Good times!

[DeeSee25]

thx for this upload. I loved these times.

[duromus]

Rockets should have faced MJ and the Bulls in 1994 and 1995. It would have been a more better match up and a true test for Hakeem the Dream. Ewing and Shaq are not worthy opponents for Hakeem. The real opponent is truly MJ, HIS AIRNESS. Hakeem can then prove he can prevent MJ from getting his 4th straight championship in 1994 and a 5th straight ring in 1995.

[HoustonJoe4]

i strongly disagreee, olajuwon wouldnt have spent that much time guarding mj, the ample time he spent guarding ewing and young shaq solitify his stamina and strength.

[Soundtrack1000]

Bulls would have won in 94 but in 1995 son Rockets would sweep them

[TrueBlacha]

well, they would if only mj's bulls had enough balls in playoffs 95 to beat the Shaq's Magic. they lost 4-2 to orlando which was embarrased with sweep by The Dream's and Clyde's Rockets.

[ekiller84]

How can u count that when MJ just came out of retirement and only played 17 games! I already know what ur gonna say but he scored 55 on the knicks in MSG, my reply to that is he also had a 12 pt gm against the 76ers in chicago so if u want too count that as him beeing back but I have too say what he did the next season was pretty impressive 72-10, MVP and they swept the magic in the rematch and they beat the sonics 4-2 in the finals the same sonics who swept the rockets that year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TrueBlacha]

yeah dude, but we;re talkin; 94 and 95 here. at that time Rockets was lihgtyears ahead the others. i'm not questioning His Airness greatness here, but these two seasons was meant to be The Clutch City time.

[ekiller84]

I think 95 was meant too be with the rockets but 94 naw the bulls were too strong and they were still deep? Don't forget the bulls owned the knicks and w/out mike in 94 it took the knicks 7 games too beat the bulls! I don't see it happening no way in hell rudy t out coaches phill jackson in a 7 game series!

[TheEntertainmentonly]

I think that the Bulls would've four peated in 1994. But in 95 with Drexler, Olajuwon, and that deep bench, the Bulls never would've had a chance. The Bulls had the bench in 94. That's why they pushed the Knicks to the limit. But in 95, the Bulls didn't have a bench. If they did, the Magic would've never beaten them in the playoffs.

[MarcusKiner]

O_o

[rkoguy]

@MarcusKiner O_O?

[keephoustonrich]

Keeping it rich. Keep Houston Rich!

[ac3jc]

i have this on tape! remember tape? those were some great memories.

[Soundtrack1000]

what do you think , who has sweeter shooting stroke, between these players, reggie miller, ray allen, kobe brayant, allan houston, glen rice and Jordan?

[jamesanderson26]

just think if the rockets would have went through with the trade on draft day in 84 when they picked hakeem, they coulda traded ralph sampson to the blazers for clyde drexler and the 2nd pick after they had just picked hakeem they woulda picked MJ with the 2nd pick because they had a strong interest with him as well.

they would have won so many titles together if they had developed into the players they turned out to be.

[jamesanderson26]

hakeem, my all time favorite, would bring it to any center in todays league. i LOVED watching him play, his footwork, his touch, his defense, were all amazing. Best all around center to ever do it.

[krazmexican]

amen to that brother

[fballjones]

hakeem olajuwon was the best if not the best big man of all time and what he did in 94 and 95 cemented his place

[dizzygemini86]

GO HOUSTON ROCKETS!!

[JoeDaWg82]

The houston rockets are the only team in NBA history to beat 4 different 50 win teams in the playoffs to win the championship (1995). Thats the hardest road to the title in NBA history. Anyone who says that's a "gimmie' doesn't know what the fuck their talking about.

[Soundtrack1000]

what do you think , who has sweeter shooting stroke, between these players, reggie miller, ray allen, kobe brayant, allan houston, glen rice and Jordan?

[JordanbeterdenLebron]

I think ray allen but i really havent seen reggies shot but ray allen has a fast release!

[Deadshot089]

We need our uniform from the 90's back when we won our titles. With that uniform we look like a BASKETBALL TEAM even if we suck. With the Uniforms we have now we look like shit we look like a horrible basketball team even if we good. We need to vote to get our uniforms back.

[cwilly84841]

The Rox would kick the Bulls ASS every time they played them.  So I hate when people say that those championships were gimmes.

[kshppatel]

People need to learn that championships are NEVER handed to anyone.

[Dre7Guevara]

my best friend refers 2 the Rockets back 2 back titles as "gimmes" I disagree, with the G.O.A.T. out of the league, Hakeem just proved that he was the BEST player in the NBA

[KWCline91]

I don't know why I didn't see that! I couldv'e gone to any of those games even though I was 3 years old!

[LuigiLaker]

1994 was a very great year..in sports, and in my life..I would do anything to bring those days back..

[MEMTigers08]

A great year for Texas in sports

[Deadshot089]

Same here.

[Rucks90]

yea 94 was cool and strange in a sort of a way. but it was FUN!

[Soundtrack1000]

bulls were better

[kinfolk441]

Hakeem dominated the Portland series.

Maxwell was a beast with those last-second threes

[kabukiboy23]

What makes a championship team? Defense. And Houston proved it to be essential and effective.

[donlova85]

i was so proud of this team and even more so of the them the next season..they were 47-35 the sixth seed and they won the championship..it was great i saw almost every playoff game..so proud

[LuigiLaker]

It would have been great to see a Michael Jordan led Bulls team face the Rockets that year for the NBA world championship crown..

[markmissestexas]

this is great... thanks
