Hall of Fame
When the Houston Rockets won their second consecutive NBA Championship in 1995, head coach Rudy Tomjanovich uttered a phrase that will forever be associated with him. “Don’t ever underestimate the heart of a champion!” But on the eve of his Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame induction, Tomjanovich wanted to set the record straight that he didn’t actually come up with that phrase. Earlier in those playoffs against the Phoenix Suns, the Rockets came back from down 3-1 to win the series. Kevin Johnson on the Suns described the Rockets as having the heart of a champion because you couldn’t close them out. Well, Tomjanovich thought that described his group pretty well, and it turned into the memorable phrase that’s become an axiom of sorts.
