    looking at the nba.com roster page for the rockets its shows the only captain on the team is T-Mac. Aren't there usually two captains on a team? My understanding of the rules was the captains have a little bit more priveleges when it comes to talking to the refs on a call or non call for their teammates. Personally I would like to see the other captain be Shane Battier or Yao. Did we have two captains last year?

    Yao's English is still somewhat broken ... I assume that's why he's not the captain.

    Shane Battier would make sense in that role, but he's new to the team. Also Juwan Howard, but he doesn't see much court time nowadays.

    Juwan would only be capable of captaining the Titanic.

    Tmac's too nice to become a captain. Sometimes he doesn't care what's happening inside.

    I love it when rafer does things like that! Its so opposite of what the whiny players do (like kicking innocent exercise bikes) and is a really good attitude. :D

    Hahah good stuff :D

    So how exactly do captains come about? Do they just assume the position by leadership.. or do JVG tell them and the ref?

    Shane would be a great captain for this team. He's a 7 year veteran, has great basketball knowledge, and he's dependable. He also never misses games, and is well liked around the league.
