    I went to Bestbuy in Austin (Highway 183 by Dave and Buster) today around 8:30pm to get some computer product. As I walking toward cash register, I saw a very familiar looking guy around entrance area. It was CUTTINO!!!!! CUttino was done checking out his stuffs and he was waiting for KT and Rice. I grabbed pen and paper, then asked Cuttino for his autograph. Of course, I didnt forget to ask him couple question asl well.

    Me : "Hey Cat!!! I am your biggest fan.. can i have your autograph?"
    Cat : "Nah - uh My biggest fan is from LA (laff)" .. -signed-
    Me : "So how is your training camp?"
    Cat : "very good"
    Me : "Are you excited about Yao Ming?"
    Cat : "Oh yeah .. of course"
    Me : "Have you met him in person?"
    Cat : "nope not yet"

    then this other old looking dude started talking to Cat.. so I asked autograph for KT.
    I didnt have chance to talk / get autograph from RIce because they were already walking away when i got auto from KT.

    Couple things I noticed...

    Cuttino didnt look so much taller than me. (I am 6'0")
    KT looks too slim to be a powerforward. I am not questioning his ablility to play at 4.. but He looks like he can even play at 2 spot.
    Rice looks so much taller than everyone else


    .. sorry no picture -_-

    So you just HAPPENED NOT to have a camera?

    How appropriate......Sigh....And you actually thought we'd buy it?


    What sane Rockets fan goes out of the house without a camera KNOWING the Rockets are in Austin and there's a possibility you'll bump into them.


    The juniors may fall for it, but this senior member won't.....

    LOL, I can't believe you actually have to ask.

    To answer your question, yes, I'm being a tad sarcastic.

    I figured, but I since I know how some bbs members can be anal about proof on these things, I asked, especially since I know I saw Mobley last night or else he has a great lookalike.

    You should have grabbed one of the video cameras, loaded some tape, and gotten it all on video.

    These guys have got to be tired of answering questions about Yao Ming.

    It reminds me of the night I met Sleepy Floyd in, what was then, the Sound Warehouse at Willowbrook Mall. :)

    I saw them at the theater catching Red Dragon. KT looked real thin for a PF. Cato, Cat and a chick with a hot bod was with them.

    I agree. You will always get the same response on Yao Ming. Ask them about the new offense. "So, how's the new motion offense going?" "Do you think the team will be ready by Game 1 to install it?" "Who seems most comfortable playing it?"

    For Kenny: ask the rockHEAD question..."Do you want to stay a Rocket forever?" or the controversial one..."Do you think you're better than Mo?"

    SlamN, another top 200 original poster...cool.

    Has anyone ever had the chance to meet Dream? I met him once at a commercial shoot for a company my father worked for back in the late 80s. He was pretty surely and not very personable. But that was before he lightened up right before our championships. Dream has always seemed to be very private.
