thanks for the video makes me even sadder Chuck was such a great guy to root for and once of the nicest Rockets players I have met off the court he was willing to hang out and talk with people. I want to go to a Kings game just to see Chuck Hayes play again (once he is back healthy)
not me- just keeping it real. He might have been a good man with a good heart, but he was a horrible nba player
I don't understand the tribute. Chuck was great in his time here, but he also had many flaws. What's next, retiring his number? I think that was a bit too much. But I also understand the Rockets grasping at any straws that bring back any sort of memories of success.
Beat me to it. Chuck-Wagon was not the best player on the team, but from his first ten day contract till his last game with the Rockets he gave every thing he had. Chuck also won some big games with us and deserves a welcome home video at the least.
Can't be hating too much if the Rockets didn't even bother to bring him back when they desperately needed frontcourt help. I know many here had an emotional attachment to Chuck, but let's be realistic. The Kings severely overpaid and I'm glad the Rockets didn't.
Chuck Hayes played a lot of DEFENSE. And he did a lot of REBOUNDING. And he helped spaced the ball away from the opponents basket...
There are so many dumb videos the Rockets play during timeouts that are completely frivolous, and you complain about this? Who cares if he's flawed? Basketball isn't just about celebrating perfection.
That was the best part of the video tributes they did for Chuck and Carl. I love those Pyramid segments. I love the in arena promos they do. One of my all time favorites was Steve Francis and Bonzi Wells acting like dinosaurs. I appreciated Chucks time here.
A 2 minute clip thanking Chuck for being a great teammate and leader while he was with the Rockets really gets under your skin that much?
