Me too, and I totally feel that calling Aaron just a 5'8" little guy is pretty disrespectful as well. Solomon was right, Aaron's simply got game. I buy into it and I pay for league pass since I'm not in Houston because I love this team. I buy the jerseys for the same reason. I don't view Aaron as just a 5'8" little guy; to me he's just a heck of a player. Guys like Mandry, Lowry, Budinger, etc. aren't just good because they play hard, they're just good.
Lemme ask yall - is effort and Hustle the same? B/C The Rockets Out-hustle many teams. Sure, other teams who are scappy put fourth a lot of effort. The Rox are different- They have Heart. Every team in the NBA has a "vibe". The Lakers have had the same VIBE since the beginning. Rudy T could not have said it any better when he said - WE have the heart of a champion. I have always felt that way. Look at the greatest players we have had. Hakeem, Clyde, Yao - all will be remembered as Gentleman with pure heart. That is what our team is all about - having more heart than most!
He kept on talking about the special olympics. Man the guys had to actually say easy on the "special olympics"
Solomon didn't really do a good job of defending his point (I personally consider it to be valid). I do think that while the team is extremely hard-working, everyone underestimated its talent.
