You know you're a Rockets fan freak when....... You are glued to the computer for two and a half hours waiting for a game update every thirty seconds because the game didn't come on t.v. You get excited about the NBA draft even though we only had the 44th pick. And then going as far as saying the guy we drafted would become the next Hakeem Olajuwon. You dress in Chinese clothing on June 26, 2002. You start watching the Pheonix Suns game simply to root for the other team to beat them. You become a fan of Bill Walton simply because he compliments Ming so highly You keep coming back for more after four seasons of not making the playoffs, with each time swearing they will make it the next season. You go to ESPN.com at least 5 times a day to see if anything happened with the Rockets. You would rather watch the Rockets play than to do something important such as homework that counts major on your grades. You hate the sight of Dik Vitale because of his comments on Yao Ming. You would bet your money on the Rockets even though deep down inside you know there gonna get their @$$ whooped. What else can you guys think of?
...........you rub your moochie bobble head doll to bring the Rockets luck........just as Andre Miller steps to the line to shoot 2.
this is me, you had a dream of walking in downtown Houston at night,and meeting Kevin Garnett and him saying he will play for the rockets when you put a lifesize poster of ming in your room so you can "feel" some kind of aura of his to help you in your life when you buy a buddha statue of buddha holding a gold plated ball in his hand and you pretend its a basketball and put it on your tv while watching rockets hoping it helps win when every time you go to whole foods you take a camera hoping to see a rocket great like Hakeem when you see matt maloney in sound warehouse in 1999 and say to him " you suck" and then run off when you get your wife to get out her tarot cards and do a read to see what pick in the lottery the rockets will win months in advance when its midnight on july 4 and everyones at parties and Im making a post here instead
When u buy 3 versons of NBA live 2002 because Steve Francis is on the Cover. When getting on CC.net to here others whine and cry and b!tch about the rockets is the highlight of ur day. When you buy Stevie's X-beams only to have the soles ripped off the 3rd week of wearing them and keep em.
When you go to the Galleria looking in every damn store to possibly stumble on something with the new logo on it, and I mean stores even like Gucci or Godiva Chocolates.
...When a casual Rockets fan says something bad about the Rockets you look at thhem as if they have just committed blasphemy
when you go to Houston Rockets game when they are in Town (like in Miami). When you buy NBA league Pass just to see Rockets games. When whoever knows you, knows that you r a Rockets fan. when you tape Rockets game just to watch it again and refresh ur memories. when you go to clutchcity.net, nba.com, houstonchronicle.com/sports, and espn.com everyday.
1000 Signs You're a Rockets Fan (obsessed) 501 posts, 17 pages, 1,357 reasons (and counting). Guys, this has definitely been done already.
You buy the jerseys and such with the old logo because they're cheaper than the new stuff and in 20 years they will be collectors items. Uhh, so it doesn't really fit. The only reason I said that was because I wanted to know how AB's Southern Swing vacationing went (or has it not happened yet?).
When you drive downtown to see the progress on the stadium while on your lunch hour . . . twice a week! I know, it's sad. When your garage is filled with your Rockets Posters. When your life size Yao Ming poster is up in your wife's quilting room and you won't even discuss taking it down with her. When your Hakeem Bobblehead is flanked by two comemorative 1994 championship Coke bottles you got at a Finger's Furniture hot dog give-away. When you get teary-eyed if your wife refers to the Rockets as "our team." When you own "Living the Dream", "A Rocket at Heart" and "The Punch" and you've read all of them.
When you name your kid "Charles Barkley" and your last name isn't Barkley If you added the letter "H" to your first name so you could feel like Hakeem when he added an "H" to Akeem. (Example: Htony ) If you still have the Spalding shoes that Hakeem use to wear with the big "34" and think its cool and up to the latest trend.. If you have a shrine of Calvin Murphy. If you married your wife because she looks and talks like Lisa Malosky If you have a Rockets Calendar and use it for only business and important/major dates (with Mary Jo looking at you )
