    NOBODY on Clutchfans wants to see that incident again, especially with Hakeem, the greatest Rocket of all time.

    What was the incident? Whatever the incident was, there is no way I would disrespect Hakeem or myself.

    yes very creepy.

    that story doesn't make any sense. If you won an autographed basketball, then there should be no need to ask the PERSON WHO SIGNED THE BASKETBALL to contact you.

    Yeah thanks mate,m. when you live in a country far away like Australia and when you have the opportunity to meet someone you've followed most of your life you try to take it. If that's creepy then so be it. Who knows if I will ever be in Houston again..

    Long story short they didn't want to send me the ball to Australia when they initially contacted me so they said to email them when I had an alternate plan. Anyway, not sure why I have to justify myself here.

    Well you never mentioned the story.

    I never heard of winning an autographed item, where you actually need to contact the person who autographed it before.

    I would never approach Hakeem as a basketball fan at a Mosque. Religion is too personal a setting. Unless you are Muslim seeking solitude yourself then do not do that. He's going to be at some of the Play Off games if not all of them in town. You a rich person? I'm sure you can meet there court side or something. Hakeem is one of my favorite players of all time as well.

    Here's the link. The pics are no longer available, but close your eyes and imagine 3 Indian dudes with ecstatic expressions on their faces and Yao showing absolute disappointment, standing in front of Yao's house in the middle of the night
