    What's with that guy's (Rocketball) other auctions. How does he get all this Hakeem stuff. Sounds pretty fishy to me, plus his feedback is private. Sounds like a major rip off to me.

    I NEVER said he was a fraud. I said that the Rockets organization didn't know anything about this guy and buyer beware because he had a lot of negative feedbacks.

    I know one way to put all this to rest. I'll let you know when I get the scoop.

    I wonder if the guy will start selling Hakeem's real all-star jersey and past trophies. Did they ever catch that guy?

    Went to high school at a small private school up in the Woodlands. I was on the basketball team (we werent good, although for a small private school we had our fair number of decent high school athletes) and once or twice Bull came out and practiced with us. At first I was like this is sweet, but then he would dominate and I thought, "Damn Bull, sure it aint hard to swat shots when your 6'11." He probably was putting forth 20% effort though and he was one hell of a guy. Real nice. He used to drive this maroon BMW 3-series and he had, in my opinion, the ugliest matching maroon rims. He brought out the championship ring once...those things are pretty heavy.

    Here's what Rocketball put to explain his private feedback:

    An open letter to all eBayers regarding our Private Feedback:

    We are a fundraising organization, which raises money to help underprivileged children. Hakeem Olajuwon and Matt Bullard give of
    their time, money and personal items in order to accomplish this. Because the people involved in our auctions are celebrities, this
    has created jealousy among some other eBay sellers, and they have started a campaign against us, which has resulted in
    numerous negative feedbacks that have no merit. We are human, and make mistakes like anyone else, and there are certainly a
    couple of negatives which we deserved, because we simply "dropped the ball." (no pun intended!) [​IMG]

    Our dedication to customer service has not ended because we have elected to make our feedback private; on the contrary, it has
    increased. We are available six days a week to answer your questions before, during and after the sale. All of our products that we
    sell come with a full money back guarantee, and you know when you purchase something from us that the profits are going to help
    children around the world in need, because the proceeds go to The Hakeem Olajuwon Foundation and The United Way.

    The people who are contacting our bidders do not speak from personal experience, but rather out of jealousy and ill intent. The fact
    that they are sending emails to our bidders is a direct violation of eBay's policy and grounds for suspension from the site. We ask
    that you consider the hundreds of positive feedbacks that we have in the very short time that we have been selling on eBay when you
    make your decision to bid, or not bid on our auctions. We also ask for your help in putting and end to this abuse of the email
    system, by forwarding copies of the unsolicited emails you receive to safeharbor@ebay.com.

    Finally, although we have been sustained damage to our reputation by these individuals, please rest assured that we are committed
    to raising money for children and to selling on eBay. We aren't going anywhere and will continue to offer quality products and
    personal memorabilia belonging to both Hakeem Olajuwon and Matt Bullard.

    Thank you for your consideration and support,

    The Staff of Rocketsball

    I'd pay good money to have Dream stand right underneath the basket while I jump on a trampoline and dunk on him Kevin Johnson style.

    I wonder how much throwing an alley-oop to Francis would go for.

    How much would clearing out for Mobley and watching him dribble for 30 minutes cost?

    I would pay top dollar for doing 50 headfakes on Cato. That would be fun watching him jump up and down, up and down, up and down.

    Do you think Shandon would allow an action for running fastbreaks with him where you get to wave him off?

    It is probably unrealistic to expect to get to shoot jumpers with Shawn Marion shagging misses for you by jumping over Mo while you dog Mo for sucking.

    That would be so cool. I've heard the Bull has one of the best personalities in the NBA. Hopefully the auction is not a prank. The person who wins would be very dissapointed.

    I thought Jeff said that this RocketsBall guy was a fraud? What happened?

    Rockets need power forward. Mo near now. Go near Mo.

    There is also another auction of Air Bull. This one involves autograph session and dining at a five star restaurant. I am to lazy to post this link, but it is the same price as the other one. Shoudnt it be atleast a little cheaper if not shooting hoops with the icon that Bull has become!?!?!

    Hey, for the record .... Matt Bullard is a hell of a guy. There's not a more genuine guy on the Rockets Team. Funnay, pleasant, smart. He knows his limitations on the court. He jokes about his non-superstardom all the time. He plays a game that is within himself.

    Didn't mean to get serious. Just thought I would add my 2 cents.

    Cheers.
