    It's pretty cool to see T-Mac and Steve Francis regularly at games. In addition, Hakeem is there at the second half of the season quite often.

    I'm not sure if any other franchise has this many of their old stars at any given game. Add to it Clyde and Calvin (granted, they work for the organization) and it's pretty special that you can see anywhere from 2-4 (or more) old Rockets' legends at a given game.

    The Rockets have a great team history and culture. We are fortunate that our players (legends, stars, and otherwise) feel such a strong connection to this franchise. It's great for the organization and the city of Houston in general.

    I am personally thankful this happens. It makes watching and going to games an even better experience.

    Love it. Glad to see Stevie. Hope he is well. I remember taking my friend to see the Franchise Rockets and telling him "Francis is indestructible." I was wrong. Time is a mother.

    Makes me think the players enjoyed their time in Houston, so yes, very good thing in my opinion.

    Steve looks like he's gazing into Kobes eyes or something. Suspect.

    Actually I find it embarrassing that you consider Francis and McGrady to be Rocket 'legends'. They're probably courtside because those seats aren't in high demand, which isn't good. The chick on the right is nice though.

    It's cool for everyone except TMac. That guy is a plague. Just stay away TMac, get a life.

    Those two are more supportive of the Rockets than most people on CF these days and they didn't even play their whole careers here.

    Yes, that is probably the worst decade in the team's history.

    When they were traded for each other there was an article following-up with them, focusing on Orlando vs Houston as places to live. They both preferred Houston. This isn't about Rockets' legends returning for me, it's about Houston as a destination city. Put Durant next to them in 13 years.

    I assumed they were Les' seats. I didn't see him at the game tonight, and he frequently invites Tmac to be his guest at games.

    The sad thing is Kobe is older than TMac. It's the difference between work ethic bordering mental illness and mediocre work ethic.
