White Jesus 24P, 10R, and 6A
With more game than Earl Monroe
That’s a lot of white guys on the rockets
Pretty sure Lebron did this at the 3point corner this season. Love Larry legend though
this nigga is nowhere near the talent of the league today😭dude said that was the best play he has ever seen
"Home of baked beans…" lol
(Insider) could happen again🤐
Best SF of all time
And that's how he got the name Larry "Legend" Bird. 🍀
LeBron & Durant > this overrated nerd.
😂
Red never saw Jerry West's shot in the 1970 Finals.
Shout out to larry legend but i keep forgetting who was on that 81 finals rocket team the only one I can really remember is Moses malone I think
What's the music from?
Lebron would've passed it up.
That's the difference between the top 10 GOATS and Lebron who is in the top 20.
The great white hope
ا
Rockets blew a 26 point lead 😂
