A friend of mine was on a flight earlier today flying from Miami to Houston in First class and guess who was there. Steve Francis and Nick Van Exel was in first class on a Continental flight. Evidently, there was a big Hip-hop showcase in Miami Sunday and Monday night and they were returning back to Houston. Steve was very nice to my friend and even took a picture. She didn't get a chance to really talk basketball so no news. Curious tho to see Nick Van Exel on the same flight with Steve Francis. Makes you wonder. Hmmmmmmmmmm ------------------
So if Stevie was using Osmosis to understand the playoff atmosphere (when he was at the playoff game in Philly that everyone thought was so great) what is he using Osmosis for now?
Perhaps how to chuck refs over the scorer's table. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Van Exel ------------------
I think Van Exel lives in Houston, in the offseason, so that should take your wonder away. My brother constantly sees him at his work (Royal Oaks CC where Cuttino lives). I'll be working there this summer, and possibly will be seeing a lot of him too. ------------------ You can put it on the BOARD.......YESSSSSSSSS! Chicago White Sox Announcer Ken Harrelson
Maybe they are talking about trading Antonio McDyesssssssssssssss to Houston!!! ------------------ Technically speaking, we're #1! ~Portland fans
I think I remember hearing that Van Exel often plays in Houston (Fonde) during the off season. ------------------ Congratulations Bill!!!! Willoughby gets college degree Willoughby graduation video (In the "More highlights -> NBA" section)
Nick Van Exel has a house in the Houston area. People take somethings to seriously, he tends to be a little bit hot tempered on the court, but he is cool off the court. That's why you have never heard of him getting into trouble. ------------------ "I'm not here to protect my reputation, I'm here to make my reputation!

I guess Francis must have given up on his persuit of Webber so now he is just taking a break!! by the way, van Exel lives here in H-town during the offseason....... like many other NBA players do. ------------------ My blood is made of Rocket fuel !
Nick lives in Royal Oaks as does Cuttino. Nick owes the most expensive house in the subdivision at the moment. The lot itself cost 1 million bucks, house is pimp, including sub-level movie theatre and many other perks. Total property value 3 million. Just hope Mcdyess want the same thing and comes to the Rockets. ------------------ "Instinctly u recognize things,now take advantage of what u just recognized!".. Hakeem..

I had an instance once where I met a Rocket on a plane. 3 years ago, I met Charles Barkley in coincidentally, first class on a Continental flight. He was catching up to his team in L.A., because he had missed the beginning of the road trip recovering from a hernia I think. He was really nice, and we talked about the Rockets chances that year. Too bad we lost to the Jazz in the WC finals. ------------------ "See they pick and pick and pick. Man they picked me to death." -Steve Francis on the Utah Jazz
yeah...i hung out with Dream at the UH Arch. Bldg. i have seen van exel's pad at Disney Wo...I mean...Royal Oaks. It's fat with a ph. ------------------
I think Francis was unhappy at finishing second behind Rasheed Wallace in T's. He is sure he can improve that aspect of his game this offseason and was getting ref-chokeing tips from the master. ------------------
Hmmmmmmmm is right! francis the next nugget?!?! sure sounds like it to me! ------------------ the nuggets suck...i know, i know!
OK MY dad lives in a place called SAn Monetgo apt. (pretty darn nice and expensive apratments) anyway i have seen all sorts of nba players. I know that presently the mooch has a hosue accross the street from my dad and i have seen both McDyess and Van Axel there. I also have seen bryce drew there before he was traded. JUST THOUght YALL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, and i have been waiting for an excuse to tell everyone that. ------------------ "The early bird may get the worm, but so does the bird that finished of the tequila bottle the night before"
I could be wrong, but I read somewhere that McDyess lives here too. ------------------ I have seen much of the rest of the web. It is brutal and cruel and dark. CC.net is the light.
