    that's an emotion avalanche he went through. he has a lot of heart to play with. I hate my mom, we have 0 relationship, but I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a mother you love like she's your bestfriend.

    Holy crap. This kid has heart. How can anyone not root for him after hearing his story.

    I'll support him.

    Btw, you can really tell who read the article and who didn't by their posts.

    Thanks for posting. Looking forward to supporting T-Rob.

    The connection with Marcus Morris also interesting - hope that helps with T-Rob's transition to the Rockets even though MM not still here.

    SG for the next decade doesn't fall on us like this. Real gem rarely gets passed so soon. :p

    OH WAIT.

    espn's magazine and their web site (articles from mag) are very cumbersome to read

    This. This is why I think he'd be awesome with the Rockets. And possibly why he had trouble with the Sac lockerroom if he hates babies, COUGHDEMARCUSCOUGH.

    Also the video may or may not have made me leaky around the eyes. I admit nothing.

    Manti Teo got all that support for a fake story.

    Thomas Robinson lived it for real.

    I just became a HUGE fan of his. Go TRob!

    "Release the rims" and "unleash" T-Rob, indeed. Hope the change of scenery does wonders for him. Thanks for the article link.

    Don't blink Earl. Heart wrenching and uplifting all at the same time.

    So has he tried to get custody of his sister now that he's in the NBA?

    What a story. :(

    I am also rooting for this guy. Wishing him the best.

    He was grinning from ear to ear sitting next to Parson's locker room according to one article. He's excited to be a Rox....that's a good sign.

    Welcome to H-town Trob! :)

    We all got sad stories, heck Lin, Mchale, me, you, the billionaire down the block....when it comes down to it this is all about basketball and winning. No one's shedding a tear over my struggles so hopefully he cuts all that crap he did in sacramento and just helps us win.

    Big thanks. I have had years of mad March Madness so known about this kid's story. Reading again still made me cry.
