The Houston Rockets cashed in on their international appeal when sources close to the team confirmed Wednesday that Toyota Motor Corp. will buy the naming rights of Houston’s new downtown arena.
Houston is the international city in Texas and this looks like a great deal for the city and the Rockets. Yao Ming could lead the Rockets to the promised land sooner than Les Alexander could have ever imagined. Let’s just hope he’s healthy.
By the way, how did I miss this new logo? Why change again? Oh right, new stadium, new logo (Rangers, Astros, Mavericks). The Stars and Spurs did not change their looks however. Let’s just hope Jerry doesn’t get any ideas!

Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich announced today that he would take an indefinite leave of absence from the team to focus solely on his treatments for bladder cancer to begin next week.
Our prayers are with you Rudy.
From San Antonio Express-News:
“It was all very moving, I’ll never forget it,” said Robinson, whose eyes welled up during Rose’s speech. “I remember getting off the plane 15 years ago and there were about 250 people there to greet me. Now there were 25,000 people here.”
Watching The Admiral play was always a joy. The 1995 Western Conference Championship Series against Hakeem and the Rockets will always be a memorable. More than basketball, thanks for your service to your country, your community, and to the Lord.
From HoustonChronicle.com:
Tomjanovich was diagnosed Tuesday with superficial bladder cancer, team physician Jim Muntz said. But Muntz and urologist Richard Goldfarb found that the abnormal cells had not penetrated into the muscle of Tomjanovich’s bladder.
