    What exactly happened to Cato? But if I have to put a memory it was where he attempted to make a dunk and ball flew up past the shot clock and then straight back down the hoop.

    I thought he was a good 4 when he played with Yao, actually. That was my fond memory of him.

    Unfortunately, all of the highlight pictures posted by SamFisher come from one preseason game.

    Whenever I think of Cato, I think of that God awful contract that hung around the Rocket's neck, and pulled them down like an anchor. An anchor that they disastrously choose for themselves. It was the NBA equivalent of stepping on a bear trap, and it crippled the team for years.

    You gotta admit though, Raven, that was one helluva preseason game he had. :D

    Like so many former Rockets greats he was exiled to the bench in the city of New York.
