    What we gave up to get him? Westbrook


    Select fans treating him like the greatest ever? Linsanity

    I mean every year the answer to this question is different. There is always someone who comes in super hyped and doesn't live up to expectations.

    Pippen
    Barkley
    Eddie Griffin
    Stromile Swift
    Ariza
    Boki
    Vspan
    Ty Lawson
    Dwight
    Westbrook
    This year it'll probably be Garrison Matthews.

    Wake me up when we start the thread, "who is the most over hyped poster in clutchfans" - generally it's not the player's leading the hype train, it's stubborn and unrealistic posters here driving those trainwrecks.

    There are very few players I genuinely despise.

    Royce White is a genuine **** human being, terrible player, selfish, sociopathic, opportunistic and did more damage to folks with mental health issues than any other basketball player I can remember. What a fraud. Total fraud.

    I don’t understand; he was injured. Not his fault at all.

    Ralph Sampson helped lead the rockets to the finals and had one of the most legendary game winners in history

    Yao. Never played or was good when it mattered. Shut down by Memeth Okur. Should be Shaqin his way but couldnt even fight for position when they fronted him

    on top of that CCP puppet which ended his career early and turned pr of the Rockets into some semi Asian club. City edition jerseys in the styling of the Shanghai sharks instead of some texas rodeo/nasa rockets was too much for me

    That reminds me that 80 percent of players are hyped one or the other way.

    Stromile Swift. McGrady said he'd make an Allstar out of him. Soooo disappointing.
