Anyone fan of Rockets because someone they like is on team?

Rockets Fan since 93...

 

I liked Micheal Jordan and the cowboys during Troy, Emmit Smith and Irvin as a kid everyone liked them I guess, never really watched basketball mainly followed soccer sometimes football. But idk why I like Yao, I’m Mexican but I like that he was humble and funny and he was an underdog. I always liked rooting for the underdogs and since then I have followed the Rockets and then I became a fan of The Rockets.

 

I followed the pajamas uniforms. Now I’m here just because of you guys.
I love you all.

 

As a 14 years old who just then realized basketball is my favourite sport, I watched our favourite player demolish Orlando in finals. What I remember the most was 4 missed free throws from Nick the Brick.

It didn't make me a fan, but it warmed my heart when Dragić was traded here. I started following the team soon afterwards and joined Clutchfans as a result. Thus, my fandom was born.

I think the players are one of main reasons someone starts to follow a team. But what makes you a fan are storylines that surround it.

 

Rox fan since '71. Yeah, I'm old AF.

Never saw a game live during their years in Hofheinz Pavilion, but I saw Moses, Rudy and Calvin in a game at the Summit during the first season there. (Also saw the Who, the first concert staged at the Summit.) Also never had to follow them when Pat Riley was a PG.

 

followed yao ming and been a rocket fan ever since, i just like the character of the team

 

Blew a chance to punk these guys down to a tie for 7-9. Lame. That fourth quarter was Spurs game 5 Q4 quality. We playing ugly.

 

For all the old time Rockets fans... who is the hottest power dancer ever? Still never got to see the infamous nipslip...

 

Yao ming

 

like @Rashmon breh, i followed the san diego's when they moved to the rockets.

 

I followed Robert Goddard who was a modern father of the current rockets era.

Inventor of the first liquid fueled rocket in 1926

 

Fan of everything H O U S T O N.

So Trill

 

DMo fan. Now a Rockets fan

 

Watched my first NBA game, Hakeem vs shaq NBA finals. Followed the winner, and stayed with the rockets ever since.

 

Started playing and watching basketball the year after the Rockets won their second championship. Didn't even know they were defending champs, just loved Hakeem.

I must've jinxed the team since.

 

I was a fan of the Rockets before the guys on this team were even born.

 

I'm very proud of my son and the heir to my throne Joe Cheeze -- The Chozen One.

 

JJ Fatt only fan, but since he don't play orangeball, I choose Rockets

 

I wonder if any LOFs are still active here.

 

Didn't enjoy watching basketball until saw Yao played in NBA.
