    A part of me just wanted to laugh at the part where you said the NBA likes to erase or never mention the Rockets championships. Sad, but true in a way. But, what's even sadder is how little attention and media the back to back to back to back championships of the Houston Comets got. Those players would have all been millionaires from marketing, advertising, and broadcasting offers if they had been men. What made their championships even more amazing was that the first year it was only a one game semi-final and final. One chance to win or you are out. The next 3 years were best of 3 games. That is so much more difficult to do than best of 7, especially back to back to back to back. But, to many it didn't matter because they were women. Sad, but true. If it had even been even a high school football team, or a little league baseball team doing something like that they probably would have gotten more national attention. I was in the Navy back then and worked with a guy who was a huge fan like me. We would root for them from California, along with our Rockets. Those were great years for Houston Sports, from 1994-2000 with all the championships. Then that was it, and we didn't even have a football team left. Hopefully this year will be the year it all turns around again, starting with the Rockets, continuing with the Astros, and concluding with the Texans. How sweet would that be?

    When Horry and Cassell left the Rockets they got more respect.
    Everybody thinks Horry got clutch vs the kings.
    No it started in 95 against the Spurs
