    Yes and I thought his game would be perfect complement to Yao.

    Otherwise I thought Rockets F'ed up that draft.

    I'd definitely put Rocket legend Joe Johnson in that "top-tier" player grouping.

    I thought Caron Butler was the only sure thing that summer. And that Griffin was 2nd coming of Rasheed Wallace. Was a beast on nba2k lol

    As a Hoya, I used to follow the BEast (Big EAST) religiously. Yeah, Eddie G was going to be the next great stretch 4 (a la Big Shot Bob). You just never know what personal demons people have. RIP Eddie G.

    6'10'' in NBA terms means he is really 6.8''.

    Many years ago, I went to the NBA summer league and saw a bunch of players walking around. People who are listed as 6'9' or 6'10'' are just like "hey, a tall guy" and people 7' and above (Hasheem Thabeet was there) are like "Whoa, what a freak!" Marcus Camby was there, too... and he was super gangly, the body proportions and movements are almost not even human-like.

    So much disrespect. Chandler is a NBA champion, unlike everyone on our team.

    I honestly think he could still contribute if given burn & kept fresh without getting too stale on the bench.

    RIP, but also thanks for one of the greatest athlete-in-trouble moments of all time.

    Jerking off to p*rn while driving drunk in Minnesota, he slammed his SUV into a parked car outside a convenience store. When the car's owner started screaming for someone to call the cops, Eddie told him not to report it and that he'd buy him a brand new car. "I'll buy you any kind of car you want. You want a Hummer?"

    As the guy was thinking it over, Eddie amended his offer: "Anything except a Bentley."

    It's sad to think that a young guy's alcoholism ruined such a promising future.

    No question he had lost a step by the time he came to Houston, but what a career. 19 seasons, NBA champion, gold medalist, DPOY, a few All-Defensive teams, and an all-NBA year.

    Hats off to the guy, and if he decides to retire, congrats to him.

    I wasn’t there is this just speculation, I think he was will and tried to do what House did for someone else. A lot was going on the last few days in the bubble and friendships changed, really big tips where given, people quickly quit there jobs, players wanting to be traded. A lot more than basketball, IMO. In time we will know because to many people are / were involved. House was the fall guy but for what & who?

    Chandler was the fall guy for House. He tried to put the spotlight on himself instead of it being on House. Losing Chandler for X amount of time would have been a lot better than losing House for X amount of time.
