I have no real interest to post in this one... but y'all are being whiny kids, so. “Dogs make life enjoyable,” he says, and when asked what word he would use to describe his feelings for dogs he simply states, “love.” His generosity and passion to improving the lives of animals ultimately led to his creation of the Evelyn Alexander Home for Animals Foundation, whose vision is to provide a permanent home to abandoned and abused animals. “I created the foundation about five years ago because there are so many abandoned and abused animals,” he says. “The world needs more people to help.”
The BBS should know this one: "I’m watching the games, I’m watching us lose by huge amounts and not playing hard. Then I watched the Boston game, and before the game starts, I know we’re going to lose. I knew I was going to lose to Dallas, and I thought we’d lose the game before that. Then we played Boston, and I was 100 percent sure we’d lose even when we were up, I knew we were going to lose. So, I’m watching the games, I know we’re not playing hard or good defense, not moving the ball well, it doesn’t look like a good team, we look very ragged and then when they got up on us in the fourth quarter when we were up by 15 or so -- I didn’t watch the fourth quarter. First time I never watched a quarter of my team's play, I knew we were going to lose. I don’t like to watch losing. It’s no fun losing. At that point, a decision needs to be made here."
Haha... Owner Leslie Alexander on Kevin McHale's extension: "I didn't want to let anybody else have a chance to get him if he was a free agent." or this instant classic less than a year later on the firing... “I’ve never seen my team play as poorly and with less effort. I’m not attributing it to the coach. I had to do something.” Or this one.."My solution is a team has to win a certain number of games in a year in order to get in the top three picks … so you have to field a competitive team. I think it's horrible. It ticks me off that people are trying to win by losing." looking at this last one maybe he thought this was already implemented.
^just bad enough for a first round failure, and just good enough to miss a decent draft pick... Oh well, the seasons not over, right??? Keep calm, the Rockets sure are.
'This joke of a trade does not sound good outside of my head. Hahahahehe well we kick the can down the road then"
Lol, threw some shade on Rick and JVG http://espn.go.com/blog/houston-rockets/post/_/id/1447/a-rockets-qa-with-leslie-alexander ESPN: How hard was this decision? Alexander: It was [hard]. I really like Kevin, I got a great relationship with him. The person I had a great relationship with before that was Rudy [Tomjanovich], so it was tough. And he did a great job last year in getting us to the Western Conference Finals, missing two starters; it looked like he was going to be around a long time. This was so shocking and quick.
He seems like a guy that's not very quotable: http://thinkexist.com/quotes/leslie_alexander/ “If there are Japanese beetles on the raspberries, we will pick them off by hand.”

"Being from Africa is the best thing that could have ever, ever happened to me. I cannot see it any other way. All of my fundamental principles that were instilled in me in my home, from my childhood, are still with me." - Leslie L. Alexander
http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=261837 “I feel bad we haven’t gotten out of the first round in a long time, but I don’t think we need it,” Alexander said. “All the players want to come here. The fans love us. I don’t think it’s needed, but I would obviously love to have it.” Asked who he wants to play in the playoffs, Alexander answered without hesitation; “I want to play the Knicks.”
"You fat fu$%^* sack of MIT dog s%^&! You want me to pay the luxury tax for THIS clown show? You know what? I know people, I knew Meyer Lansky! Go f%$^ your face! Get on all fours! Squeal for your job like a little piggy! I said squeal. My God.... seriously what the f%^& Daryl? Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Do you want me to die? Call in Gerson, I want to go speed bag on that face. You disgust me..... leave! I said leave!" - Alexander after the Motiejunas deal fell apart
It is. The second one says something about coming from Africa, and we know Alexander is Jewish not African. (Olajuwon)
