    In my defense, my comment suggesting this was mostly tongue-in-cheek :grin:

    But i don't think the idea is as terrible as it sounds. Gilbert's kid really had no business there. It's easier to accept because of who his dad is and because he was diagnosed with NF, but Rocketgirl is a better representation of the Rockets, than he was of the Cavs, and that's the point.

    If only she would contract some serious disease. Then everyone would shut up because they'd feel bad about talking about someone with a serous disease.

    How is it that it makes sense to you that the owner's son was a lesser representation of his team than a fan would be to the Rockets? I'm not sure if it is homerism or a crush that is drowning your vision. Even if the Rockets decided to let a fan attend the lottery, I'm sure it wouldn't be a fan of our choosing. The question would be raised "what makes her a bigger fan than (insert name)?". Interesting thought but a horrible reality.

    Honestly, any random fan would generate more excitement than one of our "borderline" all stars. I could see CP to churn up interest in the Twilight fan crowd, but why not at least reward and acknowledge an exasperated fan base?

    IMO, I think Rocketgirl is as dedicated and enthusiastic a fan as the Rockets have, and would be a good representation of the fan base and clutchfans in particular.

    Just my opinion. I respect people that think it's unrealistic or hokey, but it's at least good for a couple silly memes/photoshops.

    I know, right. Like it really matters who goes. Like the whole stage with the representatives is even necessary. All teams should send a fan.

    Why can't it just be common sense?


    I never said Rocketgirl was the best fan representation, so sending someone more worthy is more than fine with me..however, she's easily one of the most well known Rockets' fans, not just by other fans, but members of the Rockets organization, which i think is HUGE. The only thing more important, than other fans knowing she's a big fan, is the Rockets themselves knowing it.

    How involved is Nick Gilbert in Cavs basketball? how long has he been involved? Couldn't have been more than 14 or 15 years at the time. Does he gets extra points just because he was born into having access behind the scenes? At his age, i'd say he's probably been involved more by association and not choice. Would he still have been picked if he wasn't diagnosed with NF and they could present a feel good story? I doubt it. Maybe he's a better representation of a hero, which was how he was presented, but not basketball.

    Rocketgirl would be good, but I agree Paul should go. He'd break Stern's ankles.
