    Most people do not like to be called by a different name or have their name misspelled. The same is true for professional basketball players. Every time Carlos Rogers sees his name spelled "Rodgers", he weeps. Mobeley and Cattino make Cuttino mad. The list goes on. What happens is these players start to want to leave. Look at Pippen. Everyone makes the mistake of spelling his name "Quitten" - and he left (and he also seemed to grow multiple personalities to fit each new name). So instead of a new arena, we should all try really hard to get the names right of our beloved Rockets. When in doubt, read the backs of their jerseys or read the roster.

    Whether you are joking or being sarcastic or what, I agree completely. There is one exception, and that is Mr. Hutz.

    DUKE also likes to think of himself in the third person.

    Duke has a posse. Duke's posse is telling him to be more like Shaq and refer to himself by name.

    Duke, just don't refer to yourself in the first person plural or "We thinks" we will personally hack into this system and take the letter Z out so you can never fully be yourself.
