When the Rockets had is in the midst of the peak of superstar hakeem olajuwon, while the bulls Michael Jordan retired the first time, on the title, the second season Rockets for Clyde drexler, there again.
Rockets fans mentioned Leslie Alexander's first impression is miserly. Alexander Rockets more than 20 years of management, only in 2010-11 season pay the luxury tax. When yao and t-mac just formed Steve Carlton Womens Jersey together, originally should be to make the Rockets the season, but during that time, Alexander just refused to spend money, yao and t-mac side, there is no special reliable helper, in addition to yao Ming, all use some cheap player.

But why the Rockets will be difficult to win? May be because Alexander's Rockets boss!
