    Forever our #1 draft broadcaster choice.

    “Hakeem Olajuwon of broadcasting.” - Calvin Murphy

    “The fans in Houston are the best fans in the NBA. The reason I had to yell and scream so much was because you guys were so darn loud. I want to say to you watching me tonight, when I started, I got to meet your grandfathers and grandmothers. I got to meet your fathers and mothers. Now you’ve got kids. I’ve gone through 3 generations of Houston Rockets fans and I love each and every one of you. Thank you so much for making my career a great one. Thank you!” - Worrell

    True Houston Legend, grew up as a kid with Bill, Calvin and Hakeem playing.

    Great times, thanks for everything.

    My favorite was the kind video tribute to Bill Worrell from Robert Tractor Traylor…

    No Clyde Drexler at the halftime ceremony. Must be seal season…..

    Hats off to Bill - hope he’s having fun in his well-earned retirement.
