Always Loved how Maxwell played, Hakeen was brilliant and in a way becuse he was so go he over shadowed played like Vernon Maxwell and Otis Thrope..... What a great team these guys were in the 90's
A lot of folks don't remember Vernon Maxwell played for the Spurs before he played for the Rockets. He scored like 39 its against Houston. It wasn't too long after that he became a Houston Rocket.
Damn I used to love the guy playing Mad Maxwell. He was a dog a good defender and gosh he could score on anyone. Sucks we didn't get to see Houston vs Bulls
I watched that game between Houston vs Bulls Jordan was so irritated by Maxwell defense his trash talking doesn't affect Maxwell , even his stare down is no effect
I went to UF the same time Maxwell did. He was a huge talent but was an even bigger partier. He and Rex Chapman would battle it out and I think we even won the SEC once or twice.
Vernon had FAR more loose screws in his head than that phoney artest. And Vernon wouldn't have taken that push from Wallace and cowered on the scorers table in fear.
Hakeem Olajuwon, Ralph Sampson, Vernon Maxwell, Otis Thorpe, Robert Reid, Allen Level, Moses Malone, Louis Lloyd, Sleepy Floyd, Purvis Short, Rodney McCray, Buck Johnson, World B Free, Mario Elie, Robert Horry, Sam Cassell was some good throwback Houston Rockets 🚀 times miss those days those were the good Ole days
I’m sorry but I have a hard time believing that the Bulls would’ve beat these dudes with Mad Max lol the Bulls were 1-4 against the Rockets from 1990 to 1993 SINCE they acquired Vernon the Bulls couldn’t stop them
@@nicksandz3209 well if you think that the Bulls will beat the Houston Rockets that same fact can be said to you as well. And I love how y’all never give a real good explanation as to why they’d beat the Rockets. Have yet to meet a person that can break it down to me. At all.
One ring- he was kicked off of the Houston roster for their 1995 p/o run because of his conduct....some "role player", LOL! He actually should be thanking & be grateful to Hakeem, for getting him his 94 ring. And if.....??....Maxwell had been on the 95 Rockets roster, they probably WOULDN'T have pulled out those close games they ended up winning in the p/o's because his continued stupid antics would have cost Houston the title. The 95 Rockets were better off withOUT him.
I remember when he walked up into the stands to go after a fan,who I'm guessing said something to him that he didn;t lke. I thought MAD MAX was on crack or some other drug!!!! LOL.
Just like the Bulls were lucky that they didn't meet the Rockets in 91, 92, 93, 94 and 95. MJ should buy the Seattle teams from those years a Mercedes.
You no he always gave Jordan problems. He was Houston's answer to Jordan but they had no answer for Hakeem an that's why Houston would have beaten the bulls in the finals. Maxwell had the sheer talent of Jordan. But not Jordan's mental talent to ascend to a Jordan level of success.
Starks was good and a very good scorer but tougher than Max? Vernon didn't back down from anyone and was always ready to fight if he had to (Mad Max). Starks didn't have that same demeanor nor was he as strong as Max. That aside, Starks got on my nerves with that whole pounding his chest thing after a shot. I remember when 4:42 happened and Vernon pulled him out of the way after he buried that 3 in his face and sealed the game. It was satisfying to say the least.
If you do a tribute for everyone that tried to sue Max for fighting fans, faking injuries and spreading genital herpes, the tribute would be twice as long.
Seeing the REAL ROCKETS when they played together on the vid brings tears to my eyes of joy💪🏻
Such a good scorer, people talk about his defense but when he had to he could score that basketball.
Mad Max was a beast!
@@MrSmitty1074 scoring beast not a dirty beast
Heck yeah, he averaged 20ppg his last 2 years in college with the Florida Gators.
Kenny swear he was the voice of the Rockets 😂😂😂
Behind Maxwell, Dream, Cassel, Elie, Horry, Comet, Turbo, Popcorn Vendor, Janitor sweeping trash out the tunnel....
🤣🤣🤣🤣

90's basketball, can't beat it.
Mad Max was my dude! He played a big part of the Rockets first Chip…
Heart of a Champion!!
Max made me fall in love with basketball and sports period. Always will be a legend.
During the victory parade #1 Vernon Maxwell leaned over from the fire truck he was riding on and handed me a rockets decal of some sort.
A lot of folks don't remember Vernon Maxwell played for the Spurs before he played for the Rockets. He scored like 39 its against Houston. It wasn't too long after that he became a Houston Rocket.
Yeah the spurs pretty much gave him to the rockets

The man has a better statline in PO than in regular season....A true competitor!!

yea uf took him out the record books
he likes his cannabis still today
They way he tossed John Starks after that 3 tho.
Our champ! Our Houston Rocket!
Good vid,many good players in the 90's Vernon definitely one of them ones💯💥
Mad Max is Houston Royalty
Maxwell is the best
The Ron artest of the 1990s.
Vernon had FAR more loose screws in his head than that phoney artest. And Vernon wouldn't have taken that push from Wallace and cowered on the scorers table in fear.
No he wasn't man. Ron Artest is a tragedy man, Max I believe was a calculating prankster who would say "fuc it let's do it " if it got real
One of my favourite players
It's 2022 and this is still my dude. Crazy and all
90s Rockets were SOOOOOOO fun to watch!
Hakeem Olajuwon, Ralph Sampson, Vernon Maxwell, Otis Thorpe, Robert Reid, Allen Level, Moses Malone, Louis Lloyd, Sleepy Floyd, Purvis Short, Rodney McCray, Buck Johnson, World B Free, Mario Elie, Robert Horry, Sam Cassell was some good throwback Houston Rockets 🚀 times miss those days those were the good Ole days
RIP Vernon. The city of Houston misses you.
He still alive
@@adrianhernandez1058 right
He didn't back down from MJ.
That Houston team would have beat Jordan and pippen in da finals
Vernon Maxwell is a tough basketball player but not dirty unless provoke
He had that midair flagrant foul on McMillan in the game vs Seattle in 92 that could've put him out for sometime
@@FuShengAlex McMillan provoked him and he got laid down in mid air. Nate was a shit talker and a good passer I'm his prime.
Max was like a westcoast John Starks before Starks even developed despite they came in the league the same year .
I’m sorry but I have a hard time believing that the Bulls would’ve beat these dudes with Mad Max lol the Bulls were 1-4 against the Rockets from 1990 to 1993 SINCE they acquired Vernon the Bulls couldn’t stop them
Regular season has nothing to do with playoffs fam

@@theblackpic1111 all I said was regular season has nothing to do with playoffs
This 6'4 could dunk it too.
Maxwell would always shut Jordan down if he stayed out of foul trouble.
Great role player...my love and respects to him and his game... didn't disappoint in the finals...2 rings

He wasn't that great, but he was a good player for the rockets.
Mad Maxx!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember when he walked up into the stands to go after a fan,who I'm guessing said something to him that he didn;t lke. I thought MAD MAX was on crack or some other drug!!!! LOL.
Great player. Real Dawg.
he had a body fat percentage in the very low single digits then, and probably near that still today
He could actually slow down Jordon.
Not stop Jordan
But check him so he wouldn't be as effective
They were fully ready for the playoffs but lucky they didn’t meet the Sonics in 94 and 95 playoffs.
Just like the Bulls were lucky that they didn't meet the Rockets in 91, 92, 93, 94 and 95. MJ should buy the Seattle teams from those years a Mercedes.

Jordan was afraid of Max. Max was tough but Starks was tougher.

We are talking about a great basketball athlete who could overrun MJ in almost every single case.
This guy was never any kind of "great athlete"! He was just a "streaky- shooter"-type player: he could be hot one night, ice-cold the next.
florida took him out the record books because of a pay for play scandal

He played good against jordan

Another "Jordan walked on water fan" because he never "destroyed" Maxwell when they played each other.
