    Yeah, I saw him, and he was chanting Black Mamba. Someone told him he was in the wrong city, and he said I'm from here! Yeah, it's cool if the Lakers were here and all...


    Which poses this question. Are you not allowed to wear a jersey of a team that is not playing in the building?

    YES. that dude came into our Red Rowdies post game romp circle trying to talk smack to us. Nice grill he had.....

    and Kam- I don't like it but if I went to another NBA arena to watch 2 teams, I'd naturally want to rep the Rockets, not sure if I would based on how much it annoys me when people wear non playing jerseys to the game. Kids do it more often than adults. Saw a little boy in a kobe #8 jersey tonight, his brother in a blue Olajuwon, and I told him his parents needed to buy him a new jersey.

    Get over it. T-Mac is part of our history, and for the most part a very good part.

    no, it should be banned. with the exception of wearing teams from the city you are supporting. for example wearing an astros cap to a rockets game.

    Well, they might be poor.

    Now you've sowing the seed of class resentment into that little's kid's heart, he's gonna grow up hating people with 2 parents and updated jersey and playing for Duke. :p

    The only unacceptable jersey for the Rockets fans is something like "Hakeem over Jordan was a waist". You've got to punch the guy who's wearing it pretty hard, burn him alive and throw under the bus for real.

    Everything else is acceptable

    Besides the championship years, TMac has given me the biggest thrills as a Rockets fan, so I see nothing wrong with this. He also gave us the biggest dissapointments, but until we get another real superstar, I am fine with seeing other people wear a Tmac jersey.

    I still wear my t-mac jersey from time to time, but I do get evil eyes when I wear it. Especially from my girlfriend.

    lol. They were sitting in the lower bowl, many rows ahead of us. Family of 4. It probably cost them $240-400+ for all 4 of them to go to the game. Had they sat in the upper bowl instead, all 4 of them could have gotten current jerseys with the money they would've saved. I'm just saying.

    True... and McGrady jersey guy had court-side seat, Row C behind the Rockets bench.




    But then again, we are talking about a Nets game, even court-side seats are probably going at a rate affordable to folks earning minimum-wage.

    Lebron being the NBA's biggest douche certainly helped McGrady's image.

    I often used Tmac's jersey even to my office and nobody is complaining and making a thread about it.

    Wait, we are talking about Tmac's jersey which is a suit with a tie right?
