I met Ish Smith's cousin today. I told him how sorry you guys were that the Rockets had to package Ish in the trade with Memphis. That is all. No photo. Cousin was a dude named Chad; he played some ball at NC State.
I met Tierre Brown's great uncle today. I told him how sorry you guys were that the Rockets had to send Tierre ice-fishing in Greenland to meet the demands of Ryan Bowen's unending desire for fish sticks. That is all. No photo. No scrubs. Great Uncle was a dude named Chad; he played some pinochle against J. Edgar Hoover.
Man, I liked watching Ish the Dish. He put a little spice in an otherwise bland soup. Yeah, I'd like to see Ish back on the roster.
That was the point of posting. I told the young man I was from Houston and his face lit up. He started to say "That's where Ish was...." And I interrupted him.... "I know; the fans that I know loved Ish and really hated to see him shipped to Memphis." His face lit up again... then we got interrupted and could never finish the conversation.
I feel a sense of comfort, now that you have informed his cousin that Rockets fans actually liked him. Great. Im sure the cousin does not give a FKKK! His cousin is in the NBA makin mad money!!!! Thats THE ONLY thing on his mind!!! Not doubting his respect for you though.
He was a tall rangy kid and he had on some kind of jacket with an NBA logo on it-- like a player's association jacket-- not something you'd see in a store. I asked him the story on it and he told me that his cousin had given it to him. "Who's your cousin?" And off we go.
