    Everyone now knew what happened on April 1.......

    The rumor of Hakeem Olajuwon's return to Houston Rockets.

    First, the thread created by some readers here on clutchfan site about hearing the news on Houston Radio.

    Then the ESPN (actually ESBN) article sort of substantiating the news.

    Then the "confirmation" on Clutchfan site.

    Then the news about Daryl Morey throwing a press conference that afternoon for some important announcement.

    The press/media were invited to Toyota Centre that afternoon to attend a very important announcement by Daryl Morey.

    Daryl Morey started the press conference by telling the media/press that ever since the injury of Yao Ming, the Rockets had been searching and sourcing on the market a player taller, stronger, bigger and as dominant as Yao ming as their back-up centre.

    And he then said they have finally found one........a player that is much taller, stronger and bigger than Tim Duncan.

    loren woods! notice there is no mention of the new found player, though taller stronger and bigger than TD, being able to actually have any skill. shawn bradley is also taller than TD.

    Well, actually the press conference was for promoting a big show "Walking With Dinosaurs" that is going to take place in Toyota Centre soon.....

    After all, it's just supposedly an April Fool joke thrown at the media..........

    I thought it was a photochop and they added 'human' legs to the dino which I thought was hilarious.

    I actually started a thread about this yesterday morning..........but it was immediately deleted. Guess Clutch thought it would mess with his own prank. It was early.......takes me a few hours to fully be "awake"........my apologies.

    That Baby T-Rex looks like it could have an attitude problem. Don't know how it and Adelman will get along.

    Does that TRex actually walk and move? I'd be scared if I were a kid. Heck I'd be scared at my age if I saw it one night walking around Downtown.
