    Well then you are a player based fan. I remember back then there are fans following Iverson around no matter whichever team he went to.

    Anyway, there's nothing wrong with that, but you can't call yourself a Rockets fan if you just follow certain player on the Rockets.

    sure, just a temporary one. if you're only a fan of one player you still want his team to succeed.

    did the "Rox" abbreviation come with the arrival of Yao Ming?

    I think they should be called the Rockets

    True, but if you want the player to succeed mote than the team, that could create s conflict of interests that real rockets fans just don't have

    Across110thstreet, I know what you mean, and I do apologize. While I confess that I DO like the nickname (hey it's part of my user name!), I did at first type out ROCKETS, however later had to shorten it in the title of this thread simply because I ran out of characters!:grin:

    If you were given a video of a Rockets game in any given time period,
    would you root for that Rockets team?

    You have to care that the Rockets win. If you do not care that the Rockets win you are not a Rockets fan.

    If you were to suddenly die from a T-Rex crashing into your house.

    You would:
    A) be known as the guy killed by a dinosaur.
    B) have posted a really bad thread as your last act on earth.

    LCAhmed, nowhere in this thread did I mention anything of that sort. IS that all you think about? To the corner with you for 20 minutes! You just earned yourself a time-out, mister!;)

    They might, simply because their fav player is on the current roster.

    You can be if your one-love fandom leads you to habitually follow the Rockets, which then in turn turns you into a diehard.

    Happened to me that way. But then again, I started as an impressionable fourth grade who just moved to Houston in 01.

    Three things: <ol><li>When you say "only care about one" you mean "only like one" OR "only hate one", right?
    <li>The answer is you are not a Rockets fan, you are a Rocket fan.
    <li>Is this what the GARM will be like over the summer?
    </ol>
