a lot of idiots all over the air waves forget that the city of Houston has always attracted talent and we have gotten what we wanted more times than the basketball "hot bed" that is New york. Who can forget all those championships NYC won in the 80s,90s, and 2000s? It's simple. What we are experiencing here is the fellatio era of basketball. Four years ago, a kickass team that was called the redeem team, the same kick ass team that was completely destroying Spain's national team by two baskets with three minutes to go, all thought it would be a cute idea if they could service each other. This is the main reason houston can't "attract" a "star". Thursday can't get here soon enough. If I could take a 30 hour nap, i would.
It was the first talked about item on the show. kornheiser told wilbon he had three options. a. houston would get both howard and williams b. houston would get 1 or the other or c. houston wouldnt get anyone. Wilbon chose A and praised Morey for his hard work.( Some sort of Northwestern connenction i think) Wilbon and kornheiser both agreed that they really liked them teaming up in houston who has experienced success in the past.....somewhere along those lines. Not word for word, but pretty close. Of course this is just one or two peoples opinion, but more and more people are starting to like the idea
Yeah well ESPN is up to 5,000 comments on a Rockets move. So its a move in the right direction I guess. Houston deals are big news. ESPN should always want big things for such a huge market.
True talk. Sacramento is a small ass city in a medium sized market, but they got mad pub and lots of national love in the early 2000's during the Webber, Peja, Vlade era. Just win and they will come.
