    Copium: Maybe all the people saying he will never stay healthy and stay on the court will be correct.

    He could be a Greg Oden to them.

    I looked at their history they have really only had 4 truly awful tank type seasons. 1987. 1989. 1997. 2023.

    1987 Robinson
    1989 Sean Elliot (3rd pick in a meh draft)
    1997 Duncan
    2023 Wemby

    The amazingly cute image below was posted on Twitter by Rocket's legend Robert Horry, obviously of Bob as a kid rockin' a Rockets outfit. I remembered seeing it and thought I'd add it to a thread about the Spurs greats welcoming Wemby, who I hoped would be in a Rockets uniform. Joker as a kid was brought into the picture somehow, looking serious. Probably wacked the other kid with his racket after the picture was taken. ;-)

    Well, we've been lucky in the past, with getting Big Shot Bob being an obvious example. We're going to get lucky again. While we have some terrific young players in Jalen Green, Alpi Sengun, Jabari Smith and Tari Eason, I know we'll really hit paydirt this summer! Rockets Forever!

    Hope he is more Robinson, even Durant than Duncan.

    Fewer Championships.

    Sometimes the basketball Gods intervene and level out the field.

    While things look rosy for them at present, it may not always remain that way.
