    Toyota just has the naming rights. As the saying goes, "it's just business". There's even the annual Chinese New Year celebrations.

    tracy mcgrady benefitted the most of any non asian player on the rockets...that's why he can waste time on hobbies like baseball

    Are there any Chinese pro-league teams that use a font similar to the Rockets?

    Not exactly, but there is a team called the Bayi Army Rockets.

    The Bayi Rockets actually have the China colors as well, considering that they're the army team.

    The Rockets are still popular in China, BUT it's mainly from the older generation. Basically the people that grew up watching Yao.

    The younger generation is much more diverse in their taste of teams and stars.
