NBA Playoffs 1995: Ellie Sinks Suns

[roo7227]

Sweet Lew!... Give us a kiss, Baby!..

[andrefaelnar]

i bet the 2 dislikes came from the phoenix fans who just felt the kiss of death!!!!!

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XD

[longhornli629]

Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson are the 2 dislikes

[judgerofwars]

never underestimate the heart of the u.s. military!!

[Ajeje21]

As a Suns fan i remember, but he's ELIE non ELLiE

[phxgator]

Jeff Munn's voice (PA announcer) still echoes in my head to this day (I was and am a Magic fan living in Phoenix - and was eagerly anticipating a Suns-Magic finals): "Three point goal Mario Elie, assist Robert Horry"

[Angelslover9]

this way better than jordan's " The Shot" and his final NBA Finals Game

[bestrbalive]

@Angelslover9 I'm a a native from Houston and a Rockets fan till death but I wouldn't go that far

[houstonrockets1994]

Clutch City and Double Clutch! The glory days of Houston Rockets basketball

[maxeypad]

I remember being 12 and watching this in my room, and literally running around going crazy as he blew the kiss of death

"how sweet it is!"

memories.........

[teesteven]

the junkyard dog!!!

[simsdale]

elie was da heart of da rockets

[smithbush921]

yoyo devean3, if you wish to develop in basketball, you ought to start following a legit exercise system. I used the nba training routine here at | 50 inch vertical [dot] com |. I didn t even tell this to my high school teammates yet lol

[MrIsaiah2020]

Clutch City I remember thats the second time around. The Kiss Of Death.

[Jackie18548]

devean3 dude, I gained past 15 ins on my jump by finishing the workout system over at "50inch vertical (dot) com". now being able to dunk is something I don't have to worry about in basketball finally, heh

[CristoeSalvatore]

I wanted the Suns to win this series, but Mario Elie was always a stud.

[TrueBlacha]

God, i miss those Rockets so fuckin much...:(

[StrosB4Hos]

i would love to have this game on dvd

[LuckyxNumberxSlevin]

Love it, wish the quality was better though

[VicOyedeji]

just like how that Olajuwon block on Starks at the end of gm 6 of the '94 finals was the biggest "block" in Rockets history, that Mario Elie 3 was, and still is, the biggest shot in the history of the Houston Rockets. I remember seeing that game and me and my dad were jumping out of our seats when he made that...

[bubbz415]

Damn you Mario Elie!! That's still hard to watch since I'm a Suns fan. This and the John Paxson 3 pointer in game 6 of the 93 finals are hard to watch. But I give credit where credit is do. Both were championship teams

[Brian77TX]

@bubbz415 Spoken from a TRUE NBA fan!!! Respecting other teams :)

[sg1243]

Que equipazo que tenia Houston en aquel entonces. Digno de recordar.

[jennmarable]

How nice would it be to have a 'Kiss of Death' Shot - Part 2 against the LA Lakers in Game 7?  Well, I guess it doesn't hurt to 'dream' every now and then.

[dipeza]

THAT right there is a TEAM with HEART. Much like NOW!

come on rockets...BEAT LA

BEAT LA

BEAT LA

BEAT LA

[KiPwnNubs]

Lol..now isnt same as before..when KENNY, MARIO, DREXLER, AND HAKEEM was there..now the team is sorta.......crappy

[dipeza]

Ok so they didn't win, but its not like they couldnt. I wouldnt say the team now is crappy either. I mean, mario and kenny were not considered to be STAR players. Drexler was past his prime by then so who knew they would do the amazing things they ended up doing. heart of a champion....believe in your team no matter what. either way, i'm very proud of my 08-09 rockets. They excelled my expectation so now hopefully next year we can get better.

[KiPwnNubs]

yeah..hopefully. GO ROCKETS!!! PWN THOSE OTHER BITCHES

[BigPapaSmurf25]

Wrong.

[jerry4815162342]

Super Mario forever, Rockets 1995 a team with heart.

[KingOfKingz819]

kiss of death...nice

now i will say this: BEAT LA!!! GO ROCKETS!!!

[eppeone]

Sweet Lew..

[DoubleClutch95]

Does anyone have this game on tape? I need to watch it. Classic game 7!

[SpaceCitySports]

most of the time whenever the rockets play the suns during the regular season they play this game on NBA TV. the title is "NBA Hardwood Classics" and they play a ton of great games. i have it in my DVR and you should do the same when it plays again

[4256838]

Damn I wish these rockets could've played Jordan's bull's. that would've been a great series

[Xavier1215]

Dubbed the "Kiss of Death" and for good reason

[crs2333]

Clutch City baby!!! that's all that needs to be said...good ol' days for Rockets fans

[turtleliang777]

tats y i love NBA

[Muse4life05]

I'm a Lakers fan, but I'm glad Rockets won. Suns history is nothing but losing every year. lol. Suns suck.

[sgr4444]

except for that laker choke job 3 years ago

[jbobbster]

and that Laker collapse in 93

[liweiwu007]

go celtics!

[dnowitzki]

Greatest moment in the history of Rockets playoff basketeball

[RocketsNBA]

The Buttkicking Inc. Just went through bankruptcy.

[hizay]

Kenny Smith...pep talk king of the century!

[omhat]

the best come back into playoffs history regarding the nba in my lifetime. big shot bob, ellie, drexler, and olajuwon, just gravy. kenny the jet smith bullard, chilcut.

[Mike28326]

Yeah. I wish Marv called our games. Even Enberg would be better and I usually can't stand him.

[KobeBrian3]

Seeeee this just proves how unfocused the suns corporationnnnn is they think theyre the fuckingg best teamm and start whining after the playoffs like little bitches because they cant hold on to a fuckingg leadd

[eppeone]

Barkley: We're Buttkicking Incorporated!..

Reporter: How's business?..

Barkley: Business is good!..

LMAO!..

[timbosforporn]

That was disgraceful for the suns to lose a 3 to 1 lead advantage.

[rawn4203]

Even more disgraceful though was 1994 when they won the first two IN houston yet still lost the series in 7.

Man the suns could have and should have won at least one title from 93-95. And what's funny is in 2 of those years, it was Ainge that cost the suns. He left Paxson wide open in 93 and Elie wide open in 95 (granted 95 wasnt the nba finals, but none of the teams that the rockets played next after the suns took them to 7 like the suns did).

[Mike28326]

The whole key was that Barkley couldn't just bully the Rockets' PF's around with Hakeem in the paint. Their strategy was to let KJ get loose and hold Barkley in check and Chuck had a bad series both years.

[NyquilNunu]

True. Chucky Brown was immense against Charles.

[jug1300]

Unbelievable! Super Mario!

[bulls7123]

Kiss... of... death!

[tysonakamrsmooth]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[ramonjrp]

damn straight

[TREYKINGS]

How sweet was that! I love those boys, the best team Houston has had so far!

[celticsboy07]

so many heartbrakers 4 phx

[BOX5]

don't never under estimate the heart of a champion.

[Dec986]

who in the wrold gave that a 1.. That's Super Mario baby!!!!
