    Literally one of the nicest Rockets I've ever met. He didn't invite me to party with him like Chandler did, but I'll chalk that up to him being on the older side.

    I only talked to him for a bit, but from our brief conversation, I knew three things were certain, 1) he is a great, down to earth dude, 2) he still loves the Rockets, and 3) I would definitely take him 1v1.

    He just isn't the player he used to be. Skip was known for his handles and feistiness (Barnes and Rondo scuffles come to mind), but sadly, those days are gone.

    The truth is, even though Skip was a professional ball player, he's past his prime and I'm just entering mine. Even on one ACL, I could run circles around him in his current, older, nicer state. I've already given myself the nickname "Soy Sauce" for when we play some street ball.

    I have pictures, but I'm not too sure if I want to post a picture of where we were at (wasn't a strip club).

    But seriously, Skip is an awesome dude.

    I'm sure he enjoyed meeting a humble young man like yourself.

    Yay! paulftsk is back! If you were any good you'd go down to the valley and try out for the Vipers. I would love to see this all talk, no action guy actually try out. I would even consider going down to watch.

    Weird thing happened the other day guys. I was talking about clutch fans with an Asian hipster, and he mentioned paulftsk. He mentioned his infamous free throw video and how they grew up in the same area, same schools etc.

    Apparently he doesn't know if Paul is for real or not eother. Even though they have said history.

    Apparently our member Paul is one of those autistic, or asperges cases where they're not diagnosed until adult age. This of course due to the severity not being "full blown".

    So yall chill out on the kid, let's enjoy the ride.

    I met Rafer about a month ago and he actually did invite us to grab some drinks. I got a picture with him, but I fail every time I try to upload one. I'll upload it if someone tells me how.
