The 1995 Rockets Title Run Was Absolutely Insane

People talk about “best rings ever”… but the ’95 Houston Rockets might have the most absurd championship run in NBA history: Faced the 4 best records in the league: 62-win Spurs, 60-win Jazz, 59-win Suns, 57-win Magic (avg opponent = 60 wins!). No home court in any round as the 6th seed — won a record 9 road games. Came back from 3-1 vs Phoenix, winning 2 elimination games on the road, including OT in Game 5 and a Game 7. Beat the #1 seed Spurs by taking Games 1 & 2 in San Antonio — then won every game in Texas. Swept the Finals vs Orlando, who had just taken out Jordan’s Bulls. Hakeem & the Rockets pulled perhaps the most legendary team runs of all time. #NBAHistory #HoustonRockets #HakeemOlajuwon #NBAChampion #Sports

“Pops, Mom — Your Son Is in the Hall of Fame”: Dwight Howard’s Emotional Tribute

Dwight Howard’s 2025 Basketball Hall of Fame induction was full of powerful moments—but none more touching than his tribute to his parents. “Pops, Mom — your son is in the Hall of Fame.” This heartfelt shoutout encapsulates the emotional core of his journey—from carrying dreams into reality to honoring the ones who believed in him first. Howard also reflected on his legacy with the Orlando Magic ahead of the ceremony, saying: “I just want to say thank you,” emphasizing the vital role the Magic community and Orlando fans played in his rise. All told, this wasn’t just a celebration of an incredible career—8-time All-Star, 3× Defensive Player of the Year, NBA champion, and rebounding legend—it was a tribute to family, gratitude, and the long path behind him. #DwightHoward #HallOfFame #NBA #Magic #BasketballFamily #Sports #NBAChampion #DPOY #NBALegends
