Newest Hall of Fame members look back at their careers; Astros rack up honors at Houston...
The NCAA Nation Championship football trophy on display at the Houston Sports Awards on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023 in Houston.After receiving white crested jackets as the newest members of the Houston Sports Hall of Fame, Calvin Murphy, Elvin Hayes and Bruce Matthews took a moment Wednesday night to remember the early times when things didn’t always go their way.
“That was the only time it happened,” Matthews said, laughing as he recalled the difficult days of that 4-12 season, which was followed by a 3-13 finish in 1984. “It was too big for me,” he said. “The game started, and I was in awe of where I am and who I’m playing against, starstruck.” “I went into the corner, and Bill Russell blocked my shot,” Hayes said, “After the game, he told me, ‘Little fella, one night is going to be my night, and one night is going to be our night.”By midseason in 1968, Hayes was an All-Star. Murphy got over being starstruck soon enough to average 15.8 points as a rookie. Within a few seasons of those difficult start, Matthews began a string of 13 consecutive Pro Bowl seasons.
