Of course the most famous quote for the Rockets is Rudy T's Never under estimate the heart of a champion - Rudy T. No matter whether you are a new or an old team member, you need time to adjust to one another - Yao Ming
"I haven't been the guy who's been fortunate enough to play with Shaq, to play with Tim Duncan. I always seem to have average teams,'' he said. "You take me back in my Orlando days with Shaq? Come on, there are no questions. You take a healthy me and switch me out with Paul Pierce [on the current Celtics]? There's no question. There's definitely no question.'' QUOTE by Where's Waldo
I love Yao's quote, he seems to best the only "superstar" in the NBA who doesn't have a ego. I love Rudy's quote to. Not liking T-Mac's though.
"This is a muthaf@ckin basketball game, muthaf@cka, God ain't got f@ck-all to do with it!!!" vmax to avery
Not sure if this is a quote, but what about Shane's pre-game speech with game 4, the Mothers Day Massacure against the Fakers?
The quote is actually Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion. If you're going to quote it, at least get it right.
Also forgot this infamous quote: "It's my fault. It's my fault we missed free throws. It's my fault we lost both games. Blame me. It's my fault we fouled to tie the game up. That's my fault. It's my fault they get easy layups. It's my fault we're not executing well on the offensive end. It's my fault a couple people in the stands ordered Heinekens and they got Budweiser. It's my fault. I'm sorry." -Tracy McGrady.
This board is officially compulsively, unstoppably, unhealthily, undeniably obsessed with Tracy McGrady. When someone starts a thread about best Rockets quotes in all of history and all you guys can do is pass around stale McGrady quotes, Clutchfans needs to be cleaned up. We have had lots of rich history that we could focus on with Olajuwon, Drexler, Horry, Max, Yao, Artest, even Cat and Francis.. yet 80% of posts in this thread are about TMac. If you really don't like him, don't mention him. He'd be better off forgotten.
Battier had a few good quotes in the 09 playoffs and I believe Landry did too. I'll try to find them. Here's one:
I know these aren't "famous", but I'm just sharing my favorites. I'm doing the recent ones because the older ones are hard to find. Ron Artest:
