Possibly the best duo in NBA history to never win a championship together. In the 85 playoffs, the Rockets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the conference finals in five games, after Sampson hit a buzzer beater to win Game 5, which Sampson said was "greatest moment of my basketball career". The Rockets competed in the finals for only the second time in team history, but the Celtics once again defeated the Rockets in the finals in six games!! Hakeem however would return to the Finals again in 1994 & 1995 and lead the Rockets to back to back championships.
