    I checked this out at the Barton Creek Country Club in Austin.
    It was awesome. I met Horry, Finley, Van Exel, Duncan, and Otis Thorpe.

    By far the greatest guy there was Otis Thorpe, I told him how I appreciated his hard work in the 1st championship year, the defense, rebounding and outlet passes. He was truly humble and happy that I mentioned it.

    Horry was acting like Will Smith. When they auctioned a 'Horry Fantasy Package' (dinner with Horry, front row seats to the Spurs 1st home game), he said 'Ok Ladies, calm down, its not what you think".

    I talked to Van Exel, he said "he WANTED to be Rocket".

    I do have pics of myself, but I will not reveal them to you because Batman doesnt tell the world who he is!

    Once again, I represent what is right and true about the Rockets. And I do it for you, my CLUTCHFANS.NET people!

    Damn...I love me some OT...he was the perfect compliment to hakeem. Actually he'd be the perfect compliment to any star center. he never complained, played hard every game and who didn't love his outlet passes.

    OT was awesome, he looked like he could still grab some boards. I told him to help out Yao!

    OT was a great player for the Rockets. Hard as nails, he was the silent enforcer for the team. It seems that no other player was traded for as many draft picks as OT was his last few years in the league.

    OT has always had the greatest smile with those perfectly white teeth! That pic brought back good memories. Thanks Tinman!
