    The Rockets billboards of Yao Ming and Cuttino Mobley are up on the Rockets.com site. They say more images will be coming in the next couple of days. I assume a Francis one will be included.

    Be Part Of Something BIG

    BIG surprise. The Ping-Pong balls go our way.

    BIG man. 90 inches tall.

    BIG story. Unprecedented worldwide coverage.

    BIG buzz. People are talking about us, again.

    As you can see, we have lots of reasons to think BIG. And that's exciting. Exciting for us. Exciting for our fans.
    Because deep inside, everyone wants to ...
    Be Part of Something Big. So how ironic that "Be Part of Something Big" will be our theme for our upcoming season. And it's a big idea we intend on communicating in a big way. Within the next three weeks be on the lookout for 13 billboards posted in many of the best locations across Houston. You won't have to look very hard. The boards are 14' x 48' and many use extensions, only increasing their impact. We'll also have poster-sized versions featured in eight area shopping malls.

    Some of these boards will be translated into Mandarin Chinese. And not just the expected Yao boards. We're going to reach out to every community with all of our marque players.

    Check back soon as we debut more Rockets billboard images in the coming days!

    Is it me, or does that billboard make Ming look like Moe from <i>The Three Stooges</i>?

    Just as long as he doesn't slap Eddie Griffin upside the back of his head and go "Why you little..."

    That might cause problems... ;)

    Wow, the Rockets finally found the word "marketing" in the dictionary. Not bad. Not bad at all. Someone send them an email explaining the 4 Ps.

    This needs to be right next to the MING one. . .so Moochie can be looking at Ming looking across the street at Cuttino who is pointing at Stevie Francis
