I was thinking with the following players from the double clutch years involved in the ASG in Houston: Kenny, Drexler, Horry, Olajuwon & Cassell, wouldn't it be great if they could find room for OT and or Maxwell / Elie to make an appearance? Combining a reunion with the ASG would be epic and I think fans would go nuts if Vernon or OT would be making a surprise entrance. One can dream right? :grin:
Who has the time to rate a thread anymore??? 1 star really?? Can you just let one thread slide by??? You know what I'm rating this thread 5!
Haha! Yeah, I noticed that someone rated my Rocketscast Live thread a one-star thread! Sure, I don't expect everyone to love that Rocketscast, but ONE STAR?!?!?! (I hardly ever look at those star ratings, but still . . .)
other than cassell being in the shooting stars thing, what did i miss where the rest of those guys are involved?
http://www.nba.com/2013/news/as.sho...ooting-stars-competition-at-houston-all-star/ NBA Legends Sam Cassell and Robert Horry, who played a combined 31 seasons in the league and won 10 NBA championships, round out the West representation. Cassell and Horry were teammates on a Rockets team that won back-to-back titles in 1994-95.
I would rather have Yao show up than Otis Thorpe. Yao really should be involved in one of the events. He's too likable not to be involved.
Yao will show up somehow. OT ALWAYS SHOWED UP FOR THE ROCKETS. EVERY GAME. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.sports-reference.com/wg.fcgi?css=1&site=bbr&url=%2Fplayers%2Ft%2Fthorpot01.html&div=div_totals"></script>
http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterocke...-home-where-change-has-been-the-one-constant/ Yao has been extremely active as a spokesman for causes — especially to fight elephant and rhinoceros poaching — and as an owner of the Shanghai Sharks, along with his duties with NBA China. And he will play a still-unspecified role during All-Star Weekend in Houston.
maxwell and elie will also be in town (they are signing autographs at a private signing), but haven't heard about any other appearances by them. maybe we can post any appearances we hear about in this thread.
