Do you remember Elvin Hayes?

Do you remember Elvin Hayes?
In 1968
The San Diego rockets was his team
Though they didn't win
They played a fast paced style
Big E and Pat Riley
Played a  game that was mean

Elvin went to Houston 
As the Rockets moved to Texas
In 1971
And played with Calvin Murphy 
The mouse that would roar

Do you remember Elvin Hayes 
He brought a brand new style
To the NBA

When it comes to power forwards
He's among the very best
Number 44
Put opponents to the test

Both offense and defense 
He rarely missed a game 
He played for 16 years 
And he made the hall of fame

When comes to old school ballers 
The heroes of my past
I missed those golden years
And those young men kicking ass
