    Who is this Vernon Maxwell guy?


    and why don't we need another hero? I'd like a new hero to step up and win a damn championship before I die. I know you're only content with two championships so they can be protected as the only team to have won. You really want to be that old ass man that says, oh it wasn't like that team back in the 90s, you know, the 1990s, back in the 20th century. I mean, you were the only one to have seen it. Hell, I didn't. No one else did. Or it seems like.

    The hell with this new guy the Rockets drafted twenty years from now that wins ten championships. So dumb. I'm not satisfied with two from 20 years ago. My fandom says that cannot happen.

    I like the fact that both of these dudes brought happiness to Rockets fans
    and they both kept it real in their own way

    Yao too, but mostly Vernon.

    Vernon 1 > Yao 0.

    Vernon 2 > Yao 0, if going into the stands and punching a fan counts for anything.

    Time to retire his number so he can officially pass the torch to Dwight (and Camby ;).

    They would be awesome if Yao and Max were there together, they are basically the twins separated by year and country.
    Same heart.
