With the addition of Ron Artest, we add a person of confidence, and craziness. I always like it when basketball players have personality and are entertaining, similiar to Ron. Ron has compiled a list of memorable quotes since he has been traded to the Rockets. Of course, Ron is not the first person in this organization to add an element of entertainment with his quotes. The Rockets have had interesting players, like Mike James, that just say things that make you laugh, think, or are just desirable to be interviewed. Which players, past and present are very much memorable for the things he said? My Rocket All-Interview team of all-time includes: PG: Sam Cassell SG: Mike James SF: Ron Artest PF: Charles Barkley C: Carlos Rogers Bench: Deke, V-mac, Steve Francis , Shane Battier, Charles Oakley, Walt Williams So if you were construct a Rockets All-Interview team who would it include?
Calvin Murphy over Cassell. Mike James and Barkley are locks in my book. Brent Barry's already on my bench. Battier's too diplomatic.
Screw-ups on my part. Moses and Calvin may have been before my time. I agree that Brent Barry should be there as well.
What was so good about Carlos Rogers? I don't remember any interviews from him... I remember years back where they did a halftime segment with Eddie Griffin. He literally used one-word answers the WHOLE interview... it was kinda like a gimmick. He's a quiet guy so they made the interview like that on purpose... it was really weird. Who remembers that? Anyways, RIP
I actually think Yao deserves a place in the bench...I mean for a while, you couldn't really understand anything he said, but the guy's got a great dry wit XD. Elie Seckbach: Yao, how's your marriage going? Yao: I made a big mistake. Yao (Charles Barkley): [...] Stay healthy and stop eating.
Rafer is my favorite among current players. He has a stuttering problem sometimes and he is really funny.
