The Knicks / Rox Finals in 1994 brought me to the Rockets. Not necessarily the most talented roster but they were scrappy and played with such a blue collar demeanor.
Dang, I didn't know this was a necro bumped thread. I read the first page and was like, Dr of Dunk is only 32 years old?
Twenty years on the dot. Started watching basketball the season of the first championship when I was 6 and was a little kid in Montana that picked the Rockets cause I liked their name, and voila, they win me back to back championships. I'm 26 now, so it makes the math pretty easy.
Became a serious fan after we got Ralph, and then Dream! I can't say how long I've been a fan in years, 'cause it's too depressing. [/QUOTE] LOL...me too.
I'm Tmac only fans when i began to watch the rockets until tmac became a diva and yao and the gang fought lakers in 2009. Since that day i become an avid rockets fan though our best player was martin. I just love supporting underdog team .
Ironic the poll in this 12 year old thread. Fan since we first acquired Kenny Smith is my earliest memory. I don't remember watching Sampson but I do remember Sleepy Floyd and Maxwell.
Pfft... some 99'ers been watchin' since the 60's and 70's. I don't know if I posted in this ancient thread, but I believe my first year following the Rockets was around '78/'79 as an 8-9 year old with a transistor radio in bed when I should've been asleep. :grin:
Only started really watching basketball in the 09-10 season, i did catch the playoffs series against the Lakers in 08-09 though. So thats basically when i became a real fan, but i did always like basketball and went to a couple games here and there since 05... and that was when i was about 7.
