    I was born in Zhejiang, China. And go to Hangzhou for college studies for eight years. I started to follow Rockets after Yao was drafted in 2002. I currently work in Shanghai and rox is a big part of my daily life.

    Became a Rockets fan around 2004 after I settled here for a few years. I switched from Jazz to Rockets mainly b/c of Yao and Hakeem. I've always respected Hakeem even though I disliked the Rockets back then.

    Originally from the hometown of John Stockton, met the guy a few times... became Jazz Fan b/c of stockton so don't blame me.

    And yes I was cheering when Stockton made that 3. Lol

    From Austin, then Beaumont, TX.

    I was 5 when Ralph hit the tip-in, and my father's reaction (who likes the Rockets only after the Celtics) was my first real recollection of basketball. Even in elementary school, I was an Akeem fan, but I was also a David Robinson fan. I guess I liked the Rockets more, but it wasn't until 1993 that I really became a diehard. During the streak, even when the Rockets weren't on TV or were on after my bed-time, I'd hide under the covers listening to Gene and Jim on the radio. I'd say that I became a diehard at exactly the right time.

    Born in Houston in 1966 (41 now). Not too many old-school fans on the board it seems. I grew up accross the freeway from the Summit (Compaq Center, Lakeway Chruch) and would sneek in to see Moses, Murphy, Ried, the Whopper play. I was at the playoff game against the Lakers in '81 (the rockets lost at home but won twice in LA and went to the finals for the first time) and I have been a fan since. I was also at a playoff game against the Lakers is '86 when the Rockets won and the game in 94' against the Jazz when they clinched the Western Conference.

    I live in Ft Worth now and haven't been to any big Rockets' games in a while (oh wait...there haven't been any) but I'm still a life-long fan.

    /peace
