How many of you came here because of Yao?

that's because your world is too small

 

I've been a fan since 86 but joined when we traded for Artest and AB had me excited that we may end up with a better guard than Rafer Alston or Luther Head.

 

I came here because of DaDakota.

To see if he uses this forum as well.

 

are you serious? I thought you came here because of Juwan Howard.

 

Every Rockets fan should be a Yao fan

 

Do people really need to run the internet fanhood ideological purety test even now?

Yao's retired, after only playing 5 games over the last 2 years. Whenever you became a Rockets fan and for whatever reason you became a Rockets fan, if you are still watching and rooting for the team now, I think it's safe to say that you are not just doing it out of fanhood for Yao Ming. Do we really need to have Chinese Communist-style struggle sessions to root out "Yao Only Fans"?

 

and da beat goes on.....

 

I came here because of Yao. It was sad that the fun had ended with his career cut short. I don't follow Rockets as much without Yao as i do with him religiously. If Rockets are good, i definitely rooting for them.

It is sad that time move so fast....that's why i guess people say "cherish every moment of life" because you might not get another chance.

 

Me but I didnt know this website until mid 2010... I could have joined this site if I know it 4-6 years ago.

 

Moses brought me to the promise land.

 

I was a fan because of the 89 rockets with Plantain, but lost interest after the 97 season and got interested again after the mac trade

 

Check your mom's room... upstairs, second room on the right.

 

I cam here for Eldridge Recasner

 

Same story as OP. Came to cc because of Yao, but soon became a Rockets fan because of our never quitting culture.

I just hope we will stick to that and never add "tanking" to our goals in the future.

 

Sura faints.


If "here" is this forum, then actually I came here because of Jeff Van Gundy.

 

Similar story: loved the Rockets since coming to Houston in 1990. My friend in 2002 told me we should draft a 7'6" Chinese guy he read about on here and I nearly flipped. I wanted Amare Stoudemire or Caron Butler. He showed me the website, and I stuck around.

And if my fandom comes into question because I technically came here for Yao...the username should show that I am up to date with obscure Rockets references and a fan.

 

I came here because of Ralph!

 

Came here because I was born and raised in Houston.

What i do

 

WTF.

I love stereotyping.

All idiots are named Glen Rice.

All Glen Rice's are idiots.

 

TheReal Glen Rice was a clutch shooter and good playa.
This one is NOT.
