    Point Royale. I think Elie and Horry had both lived there at one point as well.

    Dude. I have almost the same story. I live on the other side of New Territory separated by Grand Parkway
    We decided to bike our way to that subdivision (Point Royal if I recall correctly). We heard rumors that Barkely was giving out candy and lo and behold we finally found his house and the dude was genuine enough to hand out candy.

    I think Barkley is a genuine good dude. It's why I cringe when Shaq tries to one up him with "I got da rings!" whenever they have a heated debate. Shaw is a thinned skinned petty mother ****er .

    Jokes on you. I was a kid so that means I had to go to grade school. Ya, I would take my chances with a Fort Bend ISD education than Houston ISD. Asian parents care about that ****.

    Horry lives out in Katy now. A family friend's son played football with him.

    So you went to private school?

    My dad with his measly engineering salary couldn't afford private school so he did the next best thing, raising me in a outstanding neighborhood with one of the best public school districts in the state .

    Growing up, I lived in Claytons Bend right next to Point Royale in NT. Worked at Randalls and used to sack Barkley's groceries as a teenager. The Halloween Candy was legit at Point Royal, on top of full snickers Barkley used to hand out $10 bills, and everyone in the neighborhood knew it.

    The confimed Rockets at Point Royale were Mad Max, Elie and Barkley. That much I know to be true and you can take to the bank.

    Why would you shout out some random cookie-cutter ass subdivision way out in the f***ing suburbs. If you're being real you shout out the real city neighborhoods inside the loop

    98% of the areas outside of the loop could be transplanted anywhere in the southern US and nobody would know the difference.

    All I knew my whole life is that sugar land is where the Rockets players live, and Charles just confirmed this
