hate: #33 love: too many to mention. So, I'll just say that compared to other posters here, I apparently have unusual love for the sexiest Rockets player of all time. Cuttino Mobley Also love MadMax, Patrick Patterson and Chuck Hayes I'm fond of the role player, gym rates who were disadvantaged, in some way, on the court but summoned up 110% of their will to outplay the opponents and leave it all on the court. Basically, I like players JVG likes.
Love: Kmart, Aaron Brooks, Hayes, Scola, Lowry, Dalembert, C-Bud. Pretty much all of the players in the over-achieving underdog transitional years. Hate: Parsons. LOVED him as a Rocket, but he seems to be the definition of douchebag and his "Houston is dirty" comments really put the nail in the coffin.
found it: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=216996 Still unsure what exactly it means though, lol.
I dislike Parsons. That's about it on the do-not-like side of things. AB, Scola, Lowry, Landry, Courtney, PPat & Chuck will always be good with me -- AB a little higher than the others. That said, I have a really, really strong affinity for Delfino. I can't let go. ETA: If I can include Delfino, I'm also adding Cisco to my I-love-you list. Drawer full of Garcia gear & nowhere to go.
I was also a fan of Rodrick Rhodes back in the day. I don't know why, but I liked the way he just hustled. Also liked Carlos Rogers (during those lean years) and loved Boki Nachbar. Despised Pippen. I would have bought a Fisher jersey to burn it.
Hated Shandon Andersen, Antoine Carr. Still hate Matt Maloney since his contract doesn't come off the books for another 3 years I believe.
Love: Lowry, Troy D, Scola, C.Lee Like: Brooks, Landry, Patterson, Canaan Indifferent: Budinger, Lin, Dragic (like him as a player, find his antics annoying), J.Hamilton Dislike: K.Martin, T.Robinson, Asik Hate: Parsons, M.Morris I think that's pretty much everyone
I don't hate any ex-Rocket. I have let my anger against Pippen go, for quitting on us. Love Rudy T, Hakeem, Yao and the Cat, Sam too. I like Harden a lot.
