    In a shocking turn of events, "Turbo," the energetic Rockets mascot, has threatened to leave town if the team selects Yao Ming with the first pick in the June 26 NBA Draft.
    "That's right, I'm outta here," an enraged Turbo said this morning. "Let 'em get some Chinese acrobats or one of those dragon things from the New Year's parades. Me and Stevie are going to New York."
    Surprisingly, Turbo's ultimatum came only one day after Clutch Bear, another Rockets mascot, pledged his support for the 7-foot 5-inch Ming, even though he speculated it was actually a real person inside an oversized Ming costume.
    "I hope he brings some pandas with him," Clutch was overheard as saying. "Them are some hot Chinese bears."
    I cannot reveal my source, who has threatened to rip out my tongue if I mention his name. All I can tell you is that it was one of the bobble-head dolls (not Moochie).
    Doubt me at your own risk! Oops, I've said too much already!

    This post gets serious consideration from me for post of the year. How surprising that it comes from a guy with only 5 posts :eek: . BTW I think I know which Bobblehead leaked the info. It was the Castor27 bobblehead wasn't it. I told him to keep his big mouth shut.

    Man, I'm really starting to hate that turbo. Who does he think he is, the GM? We are better off without him if that is the way he plans on acting.

    Panda comment was hilarious!
