After years of being snubbed by the Basketball Hall of Fame, coach Rudy Tomjanovich will finally represent the Houston Rockets in the 2020 class. The two-time NBA champion coach took some time on Friday to answer fan questions and recall his fondest memories from his legendary career as a player and coach.
Rudy T addressed several pressing questions that included how the 1994 title helped the 1995 team repeat, what it was like coaching Hakeem Olajuwon and where his “heart of a champion” quote originated.
It was the final question, however, that brought out an amusing tale from Coach Tomjanovich.
