    Wow! Quite an honor for Dikembe...we're lucky to have this man as a Houston Rocket.

    Not only is he honored, but he also gets to rub elbows with the first lady...hope he's wearing those elbow pads. :D

    Yeah, that's why the Rockets aren't playing tonight. The White House asked Stern to keep Deke's calendar clear for this year's SOTU.

    Just kidding.
