Still don't understand to this day how UVA didn't get at least one championship with Ralph. That nikka was a fukkin beast in college.

They won 96% of games but no title

He was money from 15-18 ft

And crazy post game

Ridiculous athleticism as well

 

[EBK String]

bu bu bu there weren't crazy athletes in the league back then.

When did this trope start creeping into basketball discussions!?


Ralph was 7’4!!

He was a beast, too bad injuries ravaged his career. If he wasn’t injury prone I think him and the dream could have been winning the Rockets titles before 94. Don’t forget about his run in 1986 playoffs he hit that series ending turnaround jumper to beat the Lakers and go to the Finals.

A lot of legacies could have been different

It’s like Grant hill and T-Mac

That fall the year after they went to the finals started his downfall. Even then it was going to be hard for Houston to do too much after John Lucas smoked his self out of the league and their 2 SGs both received either two or three year drug suspensions from the league. They would've been top heavy like crazy.

Damn them highlights were ridiculous though and him and Akeem together would've been a mismatch against everybody.

Ayton might be at this level but Ralph was 4 inches taller
