    Lol, srzly??? How ****ing embarrassing. Dallas has no shame, waaaaaay too funny.

    I'm literally completely embarrassed for the person who made this " the night after pill" of a presentation and to those who agreed that it was a positive recruitment video for someone who is older than 15.

    Just...wow. Southern Oklahoma never ceases to amaze.

    Weak aaaaaaand sad. Cuban ought to be beyond embarrassed that this is what his team came up with to present. LPord Almighty!! That was a real easy decision for Dwight. If I was him, as soon as that video ended I would have stood up, buttoned my jacket, shook some hands and said thank you and turned on my heels and walked out.

    everytime i hear someone bring this up i cant help but smh.. people act as if the rockets were like "bosh please pick us, have an ipad." the presentation was held on the ipad, money scenarios, statistical graphs, how the team would fit, what the plans and goals were, and vids from houston legends.. i wish people would stop acting like the ipad was part of the pitch to sway him to come here..

    I think you're misinterpreting. The majority of people who reference the iPad do so in jest. It's been a running joke, and hey it's always healthy to have some self-deprecation. By no means do I think anyone suggests that was the "main" recruitment tool for Bosh. It was merely a prop associated with failure to lure him.

    As for the Howard video...yeah they sure do love their cliches up there.

    Honestly, that was pretty bad. So bad, it could be considered brilliant. If they somehow landed him with this, I would shake Cuban's hand and call him the craziest mf'er.

    content was a bit overdrawn but I thought the Marvel comics like presentation looked pretty solid

    LOL!

    That is freaking embarrassing and corny as ****. You're trying to recruit a man with a damn cartoon? lol, No wonder it was so easy for the Rockets.

    I think Howard stopped watching after "being a Maverick doesn't end with the Hall of Fame." What moronic intern inserted that line into the video?
