I became Rockets fan more ten years ago when Rockets won their first NBA chimpion lead by Dream with his dream footwork and all round shooting skills.In 1995 Rockets overcame all difficulities and rewon the title.After Steve joined the Rockets,I am very excited and impressed with his powerful dunk. Now I am happy that Yao became Roc'srole player with Steve.I am confident that Roc will win the NBA title in the coming years with Yao and Stve under JVG. I am a Fan for both of Rockets and Yao.
I were very happy when Rockets could perform their skills in Beijing. I am still happy even if I can not watch the game in the live. Go! Rockets.
Great observer,LOL! as for me,sometimes i got confused.Im Chinese.to be honest,i come here because of Yao,but he loves the tree loves the branch!i know Rox little by little,love Rox bit by bit, as time goes on.Rox win im excited,and if not,im frustrated.it seems that im a ROF.but according to Mr Clutch's definement of YOF,if Yao left Rox the fan would leave.in that case,u can label me as a YOF.
I am Rocket fan. I hate the astros and I am glad they wont ever win a thing. I was an oilers fan but now titans.I would root for the rockets if they moved.
All of the above. I become a Rockets fan after the dream and the Rox won the championship. I lost interest after Dream retired and then Rox become irelevent for a while. The night when Rockets get the no.1 pick and the night they drafted Yao Ming, I feel this is the change that's going to bring a title back to Houston. To answer your question, if Yao moves on to another team, I would probably follow him on the other team but remain a Rockets fan. I just can't imagine Rockets without Yao and still being able to draw Fans with Francis and co.
You are a fool and a knave... and you dont know jackcrap about Rockets fans. The reason why there are no SF only fans is because that is the label that YOFs madeup to call people who support the team when the YOFs constantly sriticize the guards. Those people are Rockets fans...there are very few that would quit watching the Rockets if Steve left. The majority of the longtime posters here would continue to support the Rockets if they had a team full of scrubs. I know I would...I know a handful of guys I have met thru here that woudl also.. Keep painting with that bigass brush....
Pumper and gotolove, this is the last time I will speak to either of you whiny little punks since you are about to have new places of honor on my now extensive ignore list... but my record speaks for itself on the issue of what kind of fan I am and who I support What does yours say? I thought so.... bye bye children..have a nice day. W.T.M.I.L. or as its known around Usenet..... PLONK
Not to interrupt a perfectly good flame war but for all our sakes lets hope it doesn't come to this. I'm dating myself here but I remember the early 80's after Moses Malone left and before we got Sampson when the Rox pretty much were a bunch of scrubs and it wasn't fun.
YAO ONLY FAN FOR LIFE jp/ I would have to go with Rocket/Houston fan Rockets come first, but If they did move and we got a new team, Well then The new team would be my love.
So do I. Tough times, right? And I was still a fan. It's OK to love a particular player, no matter what team he's on. Bird, Magic and so many others. But I hated their teams because they weren't the Rockets. In a way, I feel very sorry for those who don't love a team and only follow certain players. But not too sorry. It's their loss.
I agree if Steve Francis was traded I could care less because I know that Steve is a great player and we can get another great player in return as long as it would help the Rockets get closer to a title. The Rockets record could be 20-62 but as long as Yao posts 32ppg 16rpg and 7bpg its all good Another thing, the whole idea of a SOF is ridiculous! He doesn't even have the same outreach that Yao has.
