What can I say about this UCLA star. He brought his great skills every night to the bench. I miss him alot. ------------------ "I talked about what degenerates they [Mets fans] were, and they proved me right. Just by saying something, I could make them mad enough to go home and slap their moms." John Rocker

I actually thought he was going to be a good pick up and thought he was going to turn out to be like Dino Radja. ------------------

Remember when he broke the trophy? What the hell was he doing holding it anyway? ------------------ Lisa, I'd like to buy your rock...
What is the story about the trophy.. i've heard differnt things.. once heard it was bull that broke it etc.. was it actually broken? ------------------ Shane "Save Our Rockets" "Life without basketball in Houston........without an arena that is what it will be"
I'll always remember Petruska...as the chump that Rudy drafted in the 2nd round INSTEAD of Bo Outlaw!!! ------------------
Hey, they let me kiss the trophy once while I was putting down a deposit the day they signed Barkley. My one claim to Rockets fame. true story Barkley was doing a photo shoot (or interview or something) and they brought out the two trophies (which resided on display behind the front desk). They were carrying them out, and I said..."Hey, you have to let me kiss it."
The first news I heard was that Horry broke it, but later everyone kept saying that Petruska broke it. Or at least that is how I think it went. Man, that was a long time ago ------------------
It was never really broken--the ball fell off the dais, or pedestal, or whatever it is. They just screwed it back on. ------------------ Lisa, I'd like to buy your rock...

i went to a home game during those years where the guy drained like 2 3's in about 5 minutes of total garbage time...sweet memories of those days... i also have at least 1/2 dozen of his skybox rookie card. contact me if youre interested! ------------------ purvis was never short.
I remember him holding up his jersey at the press conference after the 1993 draft alongside Sam Cassell and Eric Riley. I saw that gleam in his eyes and could tell that he was destined for a long, prosperous career in the NBA. "With the 46th pick in the 1993 NBA Draft, the Houston Rockets select out of UCLA, RICHARD PETRUSKA.".....Houston fans rejoice ------------------ "Oh No..." -Bill Walton in 97 just before Stockton's buzzer beater
