    It was Jordan from way back before I knew about the Rockets.

    I was a fan of Detlef Schrempf. I thought he was the ultimate glue guy. Sort of like a better Clifford Robinson and Horry as far as talent. Those guys just always won.

    I was a fan of AK-47 when he was the man in Utah. I still think he's way better when relied on. I actually think he would be a good back-up 4 for the Rockets at the right price.

    Other city - Spud Webb! The first dunk contest I ever watched; and was a fan of his ever since.

    Not sure if serious. That can't be real. He's clearly stepping on something out of camera.

    I'd believe it if he weren't so fat.

    Ugh, Mashburn??? Growing up in S FL, there weren't a lot of players more tilting than friggin Mashburn. In fact, I just got tilted even thinking about it. He could've been so good... just didn't have 'it'.

    I was doing the Dream Shake on my next door neighbor's driveway at age 6. Dream was the man.

    I also really liked Kenny Smith for some reason. I think I just liked the three ball.

    A.) Olajuwon. He's the reason why even though I'm halfway around the world, I became a Rockets fan.
    B.) None. I'm a Rockets-only fan.
