    Wesley wasn't just a Rocket Great. He was also a superstar.

    Haha, why do people have a knack for kicking others whjile they r down or out of the NBA. But i blame the thread starter, he could have just allowed Rafer to retire quietly like i'm sure he wanted, but oh no.

    Yes- we gave up quite a bit to get him. He was to small and too slow to compete in the Western conference-good for 1/2 season.

    John Barry and Bobby Sura with T-Mac had the most to do with our success in '05 after Jan

    Wesley had a part- be it small.

    Good luck David W-you got paid nearly 5 mil per season while here

    I miss that team, and Wesley played well that year, along with Barry, Sura. The sweatest time: We lead Maverics 2:0 after two road games.

    I've got his Rockets jersey. Guys like that, that give everything on every play are easy to root for. Then his jersey has my first name on the back.

    He hustled like h*ll for this team.

    I don't understand some 'fans' hate, but I appreciate the opportunity to grow my ignore list.

    Loved that team. 2-0 coming back to Houston had me believing. Screw you Finley, stealing the ball from out of bounds, you turd. It's a crime against God that you got a ring in SA.

    I always thought Wes played well and within himself. He hit a lot of threes that season and always guarded the other team's top scorer. It's a shame everything flew apart at the end, but that's life. Good luck, Wesley.

    Worst time, a 40 point loss to dallas in game 7.

    Wesley was awesome. He's up there with the All-Time Greats like Jim Jackson and Clarence Weatherspoon. Why he's right up there with Rockets Great Glen Rice!!!

    Um okay. Seems like a bit of an overreaction on your part. Are you Anna-Megan's dad or something. If so then make sure to avoid this thread:
