What’s a random but vivid memory that you have from your early days following the NBA? (alien.top)

With the James Harden trade to the Clippers in the news, I’ve recently looked back on the first time Harden was traded in his career in 2012:

When Harden was traded to the Rockets, it was pretty clear he was a good player that would be a starting guard on almost any NBA team.

However, it became clear very quickly that his offensive ceiling was a lot higher than people expected when he dropped 37 points then 45 in his first two games as a Rocket.

I just remember the excitement of those first few games where it was apparent this guy had a level to his game that not many could have foreseen based on his time in OKC.

January 96', my father got some media passes that allowed access to just outside the locker rooms, Suns lost to the Mavs in overtime and I wanted to get Michael Finleys autograph because I brought a rookie card of his. so as we were waiting in the corridor for Finley (he never came out). I did get Jason Kidds autograph on the back of the media pass when he came out. Which was neat but I was disappointed at time.

Fast forward beginning of the next year and my boy Finley was traded for JK. So I have an autograph of "Jason Kidd #5" on the back of a Phoenix Suns media pass. He wore number 32 in Phoenix.
