Fran Blinebury on the ceremonies:

You closed your eyes and listened to the chants of “Dream! Dream! Dream!” and “M-V-P!” that shook the walls and reverberated off the ceiling, and it was 1994 again as Olajuwon was delivering the first ever major sports championship to the city of Houston.

The Chronicle also has an interested poll on Houston’s all-time best athlete. Dream, Earl, Nolan, Carl?
