Guys, how do I get autographs from the Rockets? Do they do signing before the game or after the game? Where do I wait to get them? I want Yao Ming's autograph so bad that I just bought a signed basketball from Yao on Ebay for $100.

If you get there around 5:30 to 6, they're always out there shooting around. Go down to the court and see if they'll sign your stuff. Usually they're pretty busy with their workout though.

Fill out 300 All-Star Ballots and you get an autographed Yao Ming Shirt.

Filling out 300 ballots gets you a free t-shirt but not a signed one I don't think.:confused:

You can wait after the game too. The west side of the arena is where the garage is. If you wait out there, the players sometimes stop and sign autographs before they leave.

100 all star ballots is for a regular shirt, 300 ballots is for an autographed one. The last 2 games my girlfriend and I have been to the autographs were Kenny Thomas, and Yao Ming.

how do you know the autograph you bought on ebay is real and not a forgery?

It's signed. I have one hanging in a frame in my office now :) Took FOREVER to fill out those ballots. At the last game, there were no more ballots when I went to the ballot area. Hopefully more next time. In an hour I can punch almost 300 of them. I hope to get a Yao Ming T-Shirt every day they do that :)

Can you choose who's autograph it's from when filling out the ballots?

I dont think so. I think it depends on which game u go to. The last game it was Yao, and it did saw "while supplies last". So I guess its different every game.

My luck will be that I get Carple Tunnel Syndrom for a smeared Jason Collier.

It depends on the seller....if the seller is reputable than you have a very good chance it is authentic....I have bought many things but I only get the ones that have a COA and a photo of the actual item being signed.


GO ROX!!!
