- This was from Game 4 of the 1995 NBA Finals, the night when the Houston Rockets swept the Orlando Magic to win their 2nd NBA Title.
A 6th seed in the West defeated the 1st seed in the East. This team went through a lot: struggled in the regular season, traded for Clyde Drexler, faced elimination 5 times in the playoffs, and came back from a 3-1 deficit, but they turned around, fought hard, and left amazing moments in NBA history. Since 1995, we’ve gotten very close, but fell short (1997, 2015, 2018). It would be great to see the Rockets finally win that 3rd overdue championship very soon. The NBA is coming back next month. We believe in you, Rockets!
By the way, this was the night when legendary Rockets Head Coach (1992-2003), former NBA All-Star (the mid-1970s to early 1990s), head coach of the 2000 USA Olympic Team, and upcoming 2020 Basketball Hall of Famer Rudy Tomjanovich said his famous line “Don’t ever underestimate the heart of a champion."
Fun Fact:
When the Rockets were NBA Champions, they used to troll the visiting team. For instance, for Game 3, the Rockets made fun of the Orlando Magic with “It’s A Small World” since Walt Disney World is located in Orlando. While for Game 4, with the Magic down 0-3 in the series, the Rockets mocked them with “Under Pressure” by Queen and David Bowie.
Game 4 took place on Wednesday, June 14, 1995. Games 1 and 2 were played at the Orlando Arena (later Amway Arena until it was closed and imploded), while Games 3 and 4 were played at the Summit (later Compaq Center and now, the Lakewood Church) in Houston, Texas.
The Public Address Announcer was Matt Thomas (1993-1996 and 2016-present).

The rare commentary team of Ian Eagle & Calvin Murphy, who immediately had to ditch all professionalism to celebrate with the Rockets after that game.
I love how Drexler was able to come home and win a championship.
😂😂😂 LOVE the troll job playing Under Pressure while announcing the Magic starters!!!!
They used to do that to the opposing teams. In Game 3 of this series, they played “Its a Small World” to pay tribute to Disney. When the Toronto Raptors came into town years later, they played the Barney the Dinosaur theme song.
And no wonder because no team in the nba playoffs has a team pull off a reverse sweep
God damn the nba games use to be the shit. Look how loud and pumped the crowd are! Sounds like a god damn nfl game!
Straight up! My brother and I went to game 4. The energy was so crazy during that starting lineup, I had no doubt we were sweeping Orlando that night!
Rockets players looked confident in the beginning of this scene to sweep the magic in the 95 NBA Finals.
Shaq was owned 2 times by Houston Centers. Olajawon and Yao Ming
Wow! Look at referee Joey Crawford WITH hair!!
The only team that could've beat the bulls with Jordan in the NBA Finals. Jordan was afraid of these rockets teams.
