    A rocket is a rocket and I'm supporting whoever wears the uniform, unless they are a murderer or something...

    If the team made the playoffs and showed good heart/good team I would say yes.

    I would be hard to do because I respect Lowry so much.

    I respect the jersey over any player, I would trade Lowry in a heartbeat for an upgrade, same with any player on the team.

    .. as long as they're wearing the right rockets' jersey and the PG is not DD.

    Players come and go.
    Teams, for the most part are timeless.

    You do realize that, in modern days, super stars don't develop over-night, right?
    It's a joint effort of scouts, coaches, trainers, scientist, shoemakers, drug dealers, tattoo artists, TV analysts, sports writers (well, maybe not sports writers) to mutated a suitable human being into one of those super stars.
    So good luck with your cheap league.

    What's unethical about one person offering to perform a service for another?

    I can go to fonde and watch basketball games, the reason I watch the NBA is because they are the best ballers in the world. Without the best it's just basketball, no different than a d-league game, and I don't watch a lot of Vipers games, So no.

    I would support the Rockets in the sense that I'd wish for them to win.

    Now actually watching NBA games, probably--no definitely--not.

    I would support the owners wearing the shorts and playing a game, so I could boo the **** out of Les Alexander.
