    Every time I hear Stone talk he sounds like an 8 year old trying to lie to his parents about why he didnt come home directly after school.

    “The Rockets’ Stone is the oldest of Rafael and Donna Stone’s three children. While his mother is white, he says he always viewed himself as African American rather than mixed race. He said he also had conversations with his parents about race during his youth. One of the uniquely weird things about America is that you don’t get to choose, at least publicly. One is either Black or you’re not,” Stone said. “And this notion of being mixed race didn’t even exist when I was a kid. It’s not the way the public is going to interact with you. And so, particularly for me, my dad was a relatively high-profile person in Seattle. We have the same name. People knew who I was and it just is. But also they look at you and they treat you a certain way. It’s just in America, it’s inescapable. So I’ve never thought of myself as particularly mixed race. I’ve just always found myself as Black.”

    Rockets GM Rafael Stone: ‘This organization hasn’t been in a position to invest in the future like we are now’

    I couldn't watch the full presser without risking an ulcer.

    When Stone mentioned how his d!<k gets hard just thinking about FVV's importance to Udoka this team, did he try and say anything about FVV coming back THIS season (which would be a falsehood), or did he simply mention FVV to imply we're just not going to trade his contract, he's just such a leader by golly?

    Well, I can't overstate how important FVV is to this team, also I can't understate what my plan to replace him was.
