One thing about Paul Pierce people seem to overlook is his comeback from the stabbing. I know not a lot of people mention it. He's a great player, and I respect him; I just can't find myself rooting for many of the 2 guards in the league lately: McGrady whines too much, Kobe's an adulterer at best, rapist at worst, Iverson thinks he's God in 6'1 form, etc. The only 2 guard I like is probably Ray Allen.
Steve Nash and the Mavericks. I can't bear to be an out-and-out Mavs fan because Cuban gets on my nerves (he has passion, though) and because I laughed at the Mavericks for years. Don't wanna be a bandwagoner, but man, they're fun to watch. Nash is probably the smartest player in the NBA. I don't watch the Mavs much because it makes it hard to be a Rockets fan. Sactown is really fun to watch, too. Talk about team trust. I hope one of these teams can win it all this year, but of course Shaqkobe will drag Malone in for a ring.
Alonzo Mourning. He was just a Warrior. I now have a new favorite though....Lebron James. At first I didnt like him mbecause of the the stupid media hype. But Ive seen a few of his games this season and in a way you can feel for the guy. He has so much expectation surrounding him and so far I think he has handled it really well. Besides....he is part of the Rockets backcourt on my ESPN NBA Basketball franchise!
Dwyane Wade: gets to the hoop whenever he wants and finishes with confidence, solid defender, unselfish. Zach Randolph: amazing touch around the rim, killer crossover for a man his size, always plays with energy and desire.
my favorite non rockets team THIS season is Utah They are just fun to watch... unlike another of my fav team... My favorite player is definitely KG. How can you not like KG?
I like Ron Artest, Kenyon Martin and Amare Stoudamire. They've all got that fire under them to outplay you everynight. I've been a Kenyon Martin fan since he was at Cincinatti.
Death to the Jazz. I don't care how long its been since we were rivals and I don't care how cool any of their players are. As long as I am a Rocket fan, I can wish for nothing but death to the Jazz.
Ben Wallace, Kevin Garnett and Peja Stojakovic. Michael Redd is making his way up there, too -- love those lefty bombers!
My favorite non-Rocket team used to be the Miami Heat before ZO got ill. I would have to say ZO is my favorite non-Rocket but the way everyone in Houston HATES Francis and want to get rid of him I have a feeling soon Francis will be my favorite non-Rocket. QUIT THE HATING!!!
Carmelo and AK-47, young players who care nothing about stats and everything about winning. They are fun to watch. The Sacramento Kings offense is a beautiful thing to watch also. Great team basketball. I also love watching Nash run the Dallas Mavericks, a true floor general and great distributor in addition to consistently nailing the jumper.
