Good lord, what can we do without this site? rockets.com is rubbish at posting pictures. Clutchfans.net has superceded Rockets.com long ago.

Flying Ryan is almost translucent. He must be allergic to the sun.

Who's the dude interviewing Yao? Can't be Clutch, no?

Regardless, I love me some meaty thigh.

The long arms of the law.

Rafer's got a pump on. Do you think he is flexing, or he just got done pumping, or has he really got guns?

Matt H. looks like the big, goofy boy we all knew in high school who lived on a farm, always wore jeans and boots, was in the 4-H club, and would walk up, throw his arm around you and fart real loud, then laugh like a hyenna while you were talking to the prettiest girl in the class.

And I was going to say he looks like Rocketman95. Now I wonder if RM95 was in the 4-H club. lol

How many of the Rockets actually have tattoo's? From the pictures above, I counted only two, T-Mac and Bonzi. Seems surprisingly low IMO in this day in age.

He has Clark Gable disease and needs someone to tape his ears back, just like they did with Clark.

Other than that he looks like a good fit for a Beverly Hillbillies movies.

Except the guy went to Stanford and probably kicked your ass in all the projects and exams in HS, and dated the prettiest girl you were talking to, and a couple of uglier ones as well.

He is John Takahashi, who IMHO the #1 YOF in the world, the American Japanese who singlehandedly formed the very first Yao Ming only fan site, YMM, using his own money and time ......, which is one of the greatest Yao Ming fan sites in cyberworld.

http://ceiba3.cc.ntu.edu.tw/course/e95b08/essay/Rockets.htm

John Takahashi, 35, a Japanese-American and lifelong Rockets fan, could feel it through his computer screen.

Takahashi, a project manager at a Houston tech firm, is the creator of Yaoomiingmaniaaaa.com. The Web site generates more than a half-million hits per month.

The biggest draw is Takahashi's game summaries - minute-by-minute analyses of Yao's games. Every Yao shot, rebound, assist and block, complete with color-coded diagrams.

To get that level of detail, Takahashi watches each game, then replays tapes, jotting notes. It can take him seven hours to post a game summary. Often, it's an all-night marathon.

An exhausted Takahashi contemplated giving it up at one point, or scaling back, but he sensed something profound was happening.

"I realized the site was tapping into something that has been in the closet a long time, especially for Asian-American males," he said. "You go on the discussion board, and these guys are really thumping their chests."
