This is from the blog of Mu Gong, the sina.com freelance reporter based in Houston. http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4d339ee001008wsc.html A 7-year-old Houston kid, diagnosed to have terminal cancer in his brain 8 months ago, and who was told he had only 6 months' life, is a Rockets fan, and he adores both Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming. Through various surgeries and treatment on his tumor, the kid is now very feeble, lost the eye sight on his right eye, and could barely speak, but still he and his family did not give up and keep fighting for his life. He was brought to the training/team practice of the Houston Rockets today, and spent some quality time together with his idols, fulfilling his life-long wish.
Wow. I feel sorta like an idiot for complaining about anything in my life now. I hope the kid pulls through. Those players (and all of us) should be looking up to him and not the other way around.
this would never happen in a nuggets practice rockets have good people on the team from what i can see
I just wish this little warrior will help to instill back into the Rockets the fire, the passion, and that never-say-die fighting spirit !!
Good pictures, kids with diseases at such a young age is so wrong. But good to see he got to hang out with the rockets!
Little doubt that this group of Rockets are genuinely caring guys. But, more importantly, may God have mercy on that little boy. Please, Lord, send a miracle.
Wrong thread for being a smartass (plus, that "joke" is getting old). Thanks pryuen - hope the kid pulls through. We have a group of good guys, I think.
The rockets really are blessed to have such amazing people playing for the organisation. Hopefully a moment like this can motivate the team and bring them closer together. My thoughts are with the young boy and his family, keep fighting.
Praying for a miracle. Thanks for posting this. Puts things in perspective, even this horrible rocket's season.
Man, if a thread in the GARM would make me teary-eyed (I know there's a punchline waiting for this), this would be the one. I hope that's not the last time we hear about this kid.
