    wow... I always assumed they had their own jet, I meant each team... no wonder they didnt like road trips, geez, I wouldnt either, stuck in some coach seat for 5, 6 hours every couple of days...

    I think the Rockets' players did enjoy coach. ;) Otherwise how do you explain they played better on the road than at home?

    Yeah what's up with that.
    I thought all NBA teams had private jets?

    I think most NBA teams use charter jets during the season. This is economical because you only need to pay for the 7 or 8 months that you use the jet during the season and wouldn't need to worry about the logistics of parking the jet, hiring pilots and ground crew, regular maintainence, etc.

    I think if you saw Yao and about 15 other huge guys, regardless of your NBA knowledge, you'd know it.
    Call me crazy.

    Why would I lie? I didn't understand why they were on there either, but when everyone on the plane is also going "Look, there's Yao" along with about 15 other huge black guys...
    Honestly.
