    I know this won't mean most of you inside ot Texas but I finaly witnesses a Rockets moment I have not saw since CB4 and Dream's time in Houston.
    A neighbot of mine has a basketball hoop and 4 kids (ages 5-7-11-16). Anyways this afternoon I am cutting the grass and I have the mower stopped to throw teh trimmings in a bag, when the kids are picking team.
    The 7 nd 11 year olds are taking teh Lakers (as Kobe-Shaq) then teh little kid says he wants to be "Yao's Team". Now many of you in Houston maybe be ticked but here in Columbus, Ohio that means someone notices the Rockets again.
    To top thins off the youngster's older brotehr says OK I'm Yao and you be Steve Francis, and the youngster seemed OK with it.
    Again not a big day in Houston, but it's nice to know people int eh Mid-West are noticing the Rockets again!

    I remember back during the 92 Finals,me and my best friend were 12 at the time and playing basketball on my driveway one night (against others's I think) and we wanted the Blazers to beat the Bulls, so I was Terry Porter, and he was Clyde Drexler.

    Back when I was six or seven, me and my neighbors did the same things. We were always the Detroit Pistons. The Bad Boys.

    He was always Vinny Johnson, or Isiah Thomas, and I would always be Dennis Rodman or Bill Lambair.


    What's ironic about that, is that he was bigger than me by like two or three inches or whatever, and he wanted to be the guards, while I was always the forward.
