    Maybe it will have a dining facility attached where you can watch practices while you eat for a special membership price. Tilman is shrewd. He will turn that practice facility into a revenue stream.

    This player empowerment era (that has been bad for the league as a whole) is the only reason that these special practice facilities are needed. I don't remember players from the 80s or 90s complaining about practice facilities. That said, I'm glad Tillman realizes that his "shut up and listen" attitude isn't gonna fly in the NBA and he finally forked over the cash.

    If it were me I would have spent at least $75 million. Not impressed.

    Traffic was my first thought. He should have put it in Katy. @Ziggy please confirm if Katy is the actual heart of Houston.

    You trying to get the team killed? Katy isnt what everyone thinks it is - just last night some poor mom was killed in a drive by and sadly she wasnt found until this morning. Yikes!

    brothers just happy the players getting an upgrade. it's painful watching practice highlights/interviews in that dungeon.

    State of the art; video motion tracking and all. things that Booker, Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson all had during their development cycles.

    Prepping the young guys with every advantage possible; lord knows they need it after the last couple of Silas years.

    i get it but, man how much opulence did these guys need? Private jets, generational wealth, beautiful women/partners, Fame. They need a palace for a training center too? I guess? I just don't care. They will be fine! lol

    i cant wait to see my favorite team in their fancy new state of the art practice center with all the amenities I will never hope to enjoy.

    talk to me nice Tilman…this is 1 of the things he said he would do, and he’s finally doing

    gone are the days Strake Jesuit has better facilities than the Rockets

    gone are the days the Rockets are practicing on a swept LA Fitness court

    he’s finally investing in the franchise

    It's about putting our players on the same equal playing field as the other teams.
