Hakeem was so quick for a centre. Amazing footwork and speed for a big.

The West was incredibly tough that year. Houston, Seattle, Phoenix, San Antonio, and Utah were all legitimate contenders. Houston went through a gauntlet of great teams to win the championship in 1995.

Absolutely. This was the good old days. When Power forwards and Centers rule the court

Malone was a machine. His midrange was bread and butter. Hakeem is just...sublime.

Olajuwon is my fav player, ever, and i did not even grow uup in that era

man the tough physical game of that era this was something different

These matchups are to elite and intense for the younger generation

NBA on NBC was prime basketball viewing! Miss those days

I would literally run home from school to watch the afternoon playoff games with the Chicago Bulls

This is exactly what I loved about the western conference in the 1990s. You had first round matchups that could’ve easily been Western Conference finals. There were often multiple 50+ win teams clashing every year. Great times to be an nba fan! In the east, it was just MJ in the bowls and then a few ankle biters like the Knicks, Pacers and Magic.

Dream does baseline spin fadeaway shot like a point guard. And Dream does faster and smoother. Oh-My-God!

Nobody can stop Olajuwon, he was so important to the Rockets organization.

0:15 A good example of what made Stockton so great on a fast break. He passed the ball at the exact right time.

Them will ever be the Good old days, i miss those days, thats when i use to watch "NBA on NBC"!

I remember that there was a sign from a Jazz fan that said, “You can’t shoot your way over the mountains.” That fan was certainly proved wrong.

Hakeem Olajuwon IS the Houston Rockets. Greatest player in the franchise's history.

Karl Malone was like the Embiid of the 90's. FT after FT. This game was awfully whistle happy for the 90's.

Sunday Afternoons were not very good to Utah in the 90s😂😂😂😂😂

This game was very close, but Hakeem beat Malone in the efficiency department.

Anyone even thinks about touching Malone it’s a foul. Hakeem has to get mauled to get a call.

More than likely, the Jazz would have beat the Suns, since they were demoralized after losing Manning. After that, the Jazz would have beat the Spurs in the WCF. We all know what Karl Malone did to David Robinson during the 90s. The Magic were an immature team, and they were already celebrating before playing in the Finals. Penny Hardaway and Nick Anderson were going on shopping sprees. Shaq was making an album, and Dennis Scott was riding his motorcycle around Orlando.

Jazz probably beat Orlando and win only title of that era if they had beat Houston, they were never gonna beat Jordan in 97 and 98 but ateast they would have 1 title.

Utah up ten mid fourth quarter at home. No way they should have lost.

The great missed chance for the Jazz.

Hakeem hurt his finger and his knees collapsed.

You know folks, I love the cast and crew (roster players of these 2 teams with great superstars of Malone, Olajuwon, Stockton, Kenny Smith, and Horry...) from the mid-80s and the rest of the best of the 90s NBA basketball 🏀. U can't compare these NBA eras style of basketball to current NBA now with full of shit 3 pointers. This Houston Rockets team are so formidable that even the mighty Chicago Bulls (without Rodman, Horace Grant and other big men) cant defeat the Rockets during this season. But 1 thing is, Utah Jazz keeps on coming back for the championships and unfortunately, never had one.
