    Nobody ever gives the Young Rockets Respect. Hardly ever on NBA Today, Sportscenter, Or Anywhere. I know we haven't proven anything yet or lately but DAMN can we get a little?? Another ex. of this is the Lakers Ring Ceremony when Shaq Was called he Was called the Greatest Center of all-time. To me This is a blatant display of disrespect to the dream. Shaq hasn't even won 2 rings which dream has. Just a little more respect. Are the any Cuttino Mobley jerseys out yet I want one alot.

    I think Shaq was the best fat guy in the league cause he used his guts to bounce people out of the road so he could hit hit 56%FG on 2 foot jumpers!!!! Dream is and will always be the best center because he showed that he could do absolutely anything! He made a cross-over which you wouldn't even think posible for a center! He used jumpers from around 10-19 feet alot and still shot around 53% during his prime. And Shaq can't even shoot decent free throws! If Shaq is named THE best center over Dream then I will personally have whoever anounced it taken into a dark ally and shot in the hed! And guess what? There is a little tale about Shaq's free throws! When he was a kid he was very intelligent! He could do the times tables when he was in Kindergarten. Then one day playin basketball he was kicking his friends ass the his friend got pissed off and threw a brick at Shaq's head when he was at the free throw line shooting a pair. Now everytime he is at the line all he see's is that brick being throw at his head! [​IMG]

    Let's see, 2 gmes into the season and the old "Rockets don't get any respect line is already coming out". Have you checked the latest issue of ESPN - The Magazine? Who is on the cover? As for the "Shaq is the greatest center of all time"; I suspect that came from the L.A. Lakers public address announcer. So what. HoopsTV also has video of the magazine cover photo shoot. Individually (Francis, Mobley) the Rockets get their share of notice. Collectively, don't complain until they do something as a team.

    foul, foul, foul.

    that is all shaquille oneal does, and he gets away with it. He may be 4th or 5th, but he is not the greatest center of all time. Hakeem WORKED. he made the jump shots. And I bet he is the only player in finals history to hit 100% on 3-ptrs.('95)

    COACH? [​IMG]

    All joking aside, Shaq does get some calls, but...I can't do anything about it. And, don't get upset, everyone, but we have a ways to go before we can worry about L.A. Let's just focus on the Clips for now. [​IMG]

    I actually aren't worried about the Fakers! We can beat them with our bench! We did it twice last year!
