The Houston Rockets will not be wearing the Worst Uniforms Ever next season

Found January 25, 2012 on Ball Don't Lie:
TEAMS: Houston Rockets

From the very reputable Clutch from Clutchfans.net: Just a heads up ... I was told today the Rockets will not be wearing their blue pinstriped uniforms (1995-96 to 2002-03) as throwbacks next season. Maybe it was being kicked around as an idea (don't know), but it's not happening. Goodness, gracious, sakes alive. It was touch and go there, for a while, but things are looking up. Somebody up there loves us and wants us to be happy.

Video: Painting Yao Ming with a basketball as a brush

Via Ball Don't Lie  |  January 24, 2012
There are few better adjectives to describe a great basketball player than "inspirational." If an athlete is truly great, he makes other people want to accomplish great things themselves. Where people take that newfound sense of purpose is anyone's guess — at some point you just need to accept other people's personal eccentricities. So, as you watch this video...

Video: Painting Yao Ming portrait using basketball as brush

Via Pro Basketball Talk  |  January 24, 2012
I find this fascinating — a woman paints a portrait of Yao Ming, in Rockets red (or China red, if you prefer), using a basketball as a brush. It’s technically impressive, and a good portrait. All sorts of questions here. Why? Is it better to use a synthetic ball because the paint adheres better than…
