As Mario Elie nailed one of the biggest shots in Houston Rockets history, the three-time NBA champion explained the two options the Phoenix Suns had during the Kiss of Death moment.

The Houston Rockets have had a plethora of big moments and clutch shots over the course of their 53-year history, which is only natural considering the amount of great players we’ve seen don a Rockets jersey. We’ve seen game-winning shots by superstars such as James Harden, and witnessed one of the all-time greats in Hakeem Olajuwon lead the Rockets to two championships.
