“This crowd be annoying me.”🤣 -Bay Area native Amen Thompson

Dillon Brooks showing some emotion after the Houston Rockets tribute video ❤️ Head Coach Ime Udoka and several players have said said DB was crucial to turning around the Rockets and helping the young guys grow. Space City Home Network

The Clippers “fan wall” had this Dillon Brooks sign in the crowd tonight. It now belongs to Steven Adams.

Fred VanVleet purchased over 250 tickets for folks from his home town of Rockford, Illinois to attend today’s game in Milwaukee. What an experience for these kiddos! Fred VanVleet | Houston Rockets

Atlanta native Jabari Smith Jr. is getting his high school jersey retired tonight at Sandy Creek High School. Jabari’s Houston Rockets teammates, coaches, family, high school teammates, &amp; current students are all in attendance. ❤️

There is no working clock at Toyota Center as the Rockets host the Suns. The scoreboard in the arena also not working. (Current score is 47-39 Suns) Jonathan Sanford, the PA announcer, is communicating the time and score via the PA system.

Took until the final game of the regular season for it to finally happen.

Cam Matthews will fit in just fine with the Houston Rockets. “I got into it the last game and they were like, ‘thats what we do in this organization.’” Space City Home Network

Head on a swivel.

It’s all love for Eric Gordon ❤️🏀 Houston Rockets | Space City Home Network

Dillon Brooks on International Women’s Day 🫶🏼

Josh Okogie starts petition for Tari Eason to get sixth man of the year 🚀

“I’m a little unhinged right now.” #GoCoogs Matt Thomas Ryan Hollins

It’s Hello Kitty night at Toyota Center. I was asked by a Houston Rockets fan to sign his Hello Kitty shirt. I dedicate it to my colleague Craig Ackerman whose love for Hello Kitty knows no bounds. Ryan Hollins Matt Thomas

The return of ketchup and mustard 🔥 here are some of my favorite items from the @houstonrockets new merch drop!! Info at the end of the video on how you can purchase for you or the ladies in your life. 🚀

Tweeted this as a teenager. Can confirm it still applies today. Grateful I now get to interview the #UnrealShooter 🙏

Reed Sheppard and Kevin Durant in December:

Loved chatting with AJ Dybantsa! -What he hopes to show at the NBA Combine -What parts of his game he feels are underrated -His journey &amp; parents’ influence -How Kevin Durant has inspired him as a player -Why he should be the #1 pick in the draft!

After an @Astros loss in Miami, José Altuve still made time for fans. Watch this boy’s reaction after getting a gift he’ll never forget 💙

Such a classy move by the Houston Rockets. Ime Udoka just presented Jonathan Feigen with a game ball. Jonathan is retiring after decades covering the team for the Houston Chronicle. Jonathan’s coverage was unmatched and will be missed!

I asked Kevin Durant about Bam Adebayo’s 83 point game. “Something we’re going to be talking about forever.”

Kevin Durant on Jabari Smith Jr: “Me &amp; Bari have talked a lot about us taking the shots we want to take, not letting the defense dictate what we do out there, using our length and our size to get shots off…” Truly cool that Bari is learning from KD.

From November 2024 when Rockets beat the Knicks…Alperen Sengun’s family was in town from Turkey. “I’m scared to play bad when my dad is here” 🤣🤣 So glad Alpi’s family gets to see him in-person dominating EuroBasket!!

“I mean, he wasn’t doing the thing this time, so….yeah.” -Amen Thompson on Tyler Herro

Jeff Green is a national treasure.

“Shoes have become a storybook for me. Nike and I create and tell stories through these shoes.” How Kevin Durant honors his hometown &amp; the people in it through variations of his KDs.

Jabari Smith Jr tells me Jae’Sean Tate whispered to him to miss the second free throw. Bari looked at Ime Udoka to verify, and the rest is history. Houston Rockets Space City Home Network

Jeff Green is such an important veteran on this Rockets team. Encouragement &amp; a laugh for the guys before each game. As you can tell, everybody loves Uncle Jeff… (even the other team.)

Tari Eason when I asked him about this group of Houston Rockets: “Man… I gave everybody a hug.” 💔💔 Space City Home Network

Kevin Durant when asked by Varun Shankar about viral allegations of an alleged burner: “I’m not here to get into twitter nonsense.” Says he and his teammates have been locked in all season.

New video from Fred VanVleet❤️ I have the unique privilege of watching every single Houston Rockets practice throughout the season. Whatever you think Fred’s leadership is, multiply that by ten. Wishing him all the best as he recovers!

“I feel like Kobe.” 🫶🏼 One of the most fun interviews of my career. Amen hits the game winner and Villian ties the franchise record for 3’s. LOVE this Houston Rockets team!

When Alperen Şengün found out he was named an All-Star, he called the man who coached him as a child and invited him to Los Angeles. 🫶 Alperen

Atlanta native Jabari Smith Jr. is getting his high school jersey retired tonight at Sandy Creek High School. Jabari’s Houston Rockets teammates, coaches, family, high school teammates, & current students are all in attendance. ❤️
