    Rocket fan since graduating from J-State and moving to Houston in 86". Orginally from Muskegon, MI and loved Magic Johnson. I'm 44 and still balling at the downtown Y.

    Been a Rockets fan for about 15 years now. It all started when I was a kid and played the NBA Jam Super Nintendo games. I would always play as the Rockets and started following them after that.

    I'm from Pittsburgh so I get asked this question a lot but i'm damn proud to be a fan of such a great franchise.

    Originally from Houston (Mo City). Been a rockets fan all my life. Went to junior highschool with Calvin Murphy's daughters (Tiffany and Tracy). Unfortunately, I live in S.A. right now. I HATE the spurs and more so the fans. They are the most biased fans in the world!!! I absolutely love it when they lose....especially to my rockets. I am looking forward to the 3/30 game.

    Not exactly. :)

    My wife is from Malaysia and she is a big Rockets fan. She is mostly a lurker on these boards.

    As for myself, I live in NY but I am originally from Boston area. Been a Rockets fan since 1990.

    Born in Bosnia, started watching them in 1996 when I moved to Germany...i used to cry when Stockton and the Jazz beat us but E.J.'s three to win the game won me over :D

    I became a basketball fan when I was around 8 years old, so I started following the Rockets around the '85-'86 time frame.

    I currently live in DFW, but consider El Paso to be home. I also lived in Germany for seven years as a kid, and in Colorado for four years as a teenager...

    Houston, born and raised. I've been a "fan" my entire life thanks to my Dad being a fan of the Rockets. I truly became a fan in my own right during the 04 series against the Lakers. I don't know why, but they really grabbed me then and haven't let up at all since then. (I'm 19, so that's part of it, I guess.)

    thanks man! good to have a fellow west indian around.

    when we qualified for the world cup was crazy. if u want to see real beautiful women though, you should come here around Carnival. They come out in the masses!

    sadly, i've never been to any other Caribbean island. but i know our sand and sun is nothing compared to other islands. i do know a couple of Jamaicans though since i attend UWI.

    Since 1977 when I moved here from Denver. Was a Nuggets fan before then (Alex English had a sweet shot). I'm 53 and a season ticket holder since 2003. Attended many games before then on a game by game basis.

    Fan since 1993, have family in Houston and go there nearly ever summer. I live in Belgium, although I'm studying in London for a year, and staying up until 3-4 am for games is starting to wear me down but that's what fans do :D

    I've been a Rockets fan since I started playing and watching basketball in '03 but I became a diehard (for real) Rockets fan since 2004 when T-Mac arrived. That would be 4-5 years. I'm will be 16 in June.

    And I live in Strasbourg, France, I wonder if they are members living in France or nearby. My father comes from South Africa and my mother has persian origins.

    Watching games is a challenge here because it's always in the middle of the night but I have seen 90% of the games live this season.

    What's great is that I will be in LA in April and I will go to watch the Rockets@Clippers game on the 6th. First NBA game, first Rockets game. Can't Wait.
