    Been a Rockets fan since 1984..the year I moved from the Philippines to the US. I was 10 years old at the time.

    The Rox were playing Celtics in the Finals and I was hooked ever since! Now I'm in Dubai for my job but I try to catch my Rockets whenever they are on NBA TV..but mainly I rely on R2K's rockets highlights and this board for my Rockets Fix. :D

    Born in Houston, moved to Sugar Land back when the population there was only 3300. Went to high school at Dulles.

    Started following the Rockets around the time they arrived in town. Used to go to a lot of games in the Summit by using a discount coupon that you'd find on the side of milk cartons. Tickets for $6 or so.

    Moved to Los Angeles in 1987 and am proud to say I have NEVER become a Lakers fan. Lived in NYC for a few years, including during the two championships.

    Now back on the West Coast in Studio City.

    One more thing: For us out-of-towners, NBA League Pass is a miracle. :D

    I'm in San Francisco. I've been a Rockets fan since 1991 when my older brother bought me an Olajuwon rookie card, which I still have.

    Born in China, raised in France. In 2003, heard that a Chinese dude was drafted number 1 and playing in Houston. Checked it out and then became a nba and rockets fan...

    Reside in Sydney, Australia. I'm 26.

    Been following the Rockets when Yao was drafted in '02. Favourite player is McGrady, obviously.

    I try to follow Gamecast and nba.com live audio of Rox games when I can, and I live by R2K's Rockets clips.



    Would die to go to a Rockets game one day!

    Born in Kansas. Moved to Houston at age 13 and became a Rockets fan starting in 1984-85. Rooted on the Rockets through good and bad and hopefully soon, good times. Was in SoCal during the championship years as a member of the USMC. Hopefully soon, will get to truly feel the euphoria once again that only a championship brings! Go Rockets!

    Now age 38 and I have been and always will bleed Rockets red. :D
