Thomas Two Sandwiches Hamilton???? He was the most entertaining story that season. He thought he was soooooo good that he actually went to Rudy and demanded more playing time. Next day *poof!* and that's hard to do considering the dude weighed like 330 lbs
Off the topic, I guess that almost all Chinese fans hates Barkley, that could be the reason that he has never visited China, I could be wrong, just a observation.
He wanted that extra 3 million dollars to lose it by gambling. Someone start a Barkley S*cks chant in Houston game.
I have never visited China...could it be because they hate me also? Where's that jumping-to-conclusions mat when you need it?
What about Larry Smith? I remember all of China hated him like he was Ricky Tan in Rush Hour 2. Don't worry I understand why. Barkley didn't give him his credit until he proved he was good. I believe Yao didn't deserve to be an all star so early cause he wasn't that good. Only recently has Yao been a dominant player. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/np7qeRJMgsw&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/np7qeRJMgsw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Man I remember that season when Bill and Calvin would make fun of him EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. he stepped on the court. Bill: And here is Thomas Hamilton checking in for the Rockets. Calvin: Bill, now THAT's a big boy! Bill: He sure is, Calvin.
That would be really dumb considering we don't have any TNT games. You can start the I hate Karl Malone chants when we play the Spurs or we hate Gary Payton when we play the Magic. How about a BEAT LA chant when we play Boston?
Thomas "TWO SANDWICHES" Hamilton? What kind of Rockets fan are you? Loved it when Calvin use to call him out.
!00% agree, and, one of the many reasons I think this team would be better with other ownership. Les and large group of investors "own" the Rockets. If every member of ClutchFans would ante up a few thousand we could buy the team, but then I would want to make all the decisions. Face it, folks, as good as Morey is, he is here to give Les a decent team "on the cheap."
Intelligence has nothing to do with being popular and most importantly draw attention. Let's face it, the average NBA player just isn't very intelligent. But they make the bucks because they have special skills (supply) that are being demanded by the viewers. If you watch TNT or read OK! looking to gain something you'll be dissappointed. Barkley may not want the rockets to succeed for as long as Les is the owner and that could be his way of self-gratification/justice. How can you expect him to support Yao and T-Mac? And quite frankly, they haven't done anything to warrant the support of the media. I like our role players much more than our one-two punch. I'd rather the organization let go of Yao and mac than to see our core role players depart.
Is this going to be the new ridiculous meme now that people have gotten over the "Drayton is Cheap" slogan? What exactly is the Rocket's salary situation relative to the cap again?
Are you a star NBA player? Almost all great former NBA players have visited China for the NBA business or other except Barkley and Karl Malone (I could be wrong). I do not want make this a big deal, just assume that those two have not been invited or they do not want to go. I know Karl Malone does not want to be on the public stage, but Barkley likes attention, why has he not been there?
In all fairness, Rockets isn't a team "on the cheap." Les is just a cold blooded owner who has an extreme business-first approach. He's not a players owner nor a very heart-warming owner.
Here is another fact for you Barkley haters, I'm not the biggest fan of Chuck but fact is fact: the Chuckster is one of the most underpaid superstars in the NBA , to have a career like that and only pulled in under 45 million dollars. You have a lot of worthless trash in the NBA making 2 to 3 times as much as The Large Round Mound of Rebounds!
Why does he have to go to China? You make it seem like China's THE place to go for NBA Players. Just because it's the most populous country in the world doesn't mean EVERYONE has to go there. But just to entertain you and your lack of information: Barkley visit China during Beijing Olympics
