“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. ❤️

Patrick Ewing and Allan Houston… :20 seconds left in Game 5….

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

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.

50 Cent talking about his friend Andre Johnson becoming a Hall of Famer. Had to zoom in on his Houston sports chain 👀 Astros, Rockets, and Texans 🔥🔥🔥 Andre will throw the first pitch tonight!

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

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

Head on a swivel.

When the Hoop Streams crew (unintentionally) broke the news to Karim Lopez that he had been traded to Memphis….

This summer, Reed Sheppard wants to get stronger. He’s been working out with Kevin Durant in Cali to help achieve that. Full convo from summer league (as well as chats with Ime Udoka, Fred VanVleet, Jabari Smith Jr, &amp; Amen Thompson) coming soon!

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!

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

Spoke with Ime Udoka about reuniting with Marcus Smart, as well as what excites him about Bruce Thornton. On Smart: “A lot of what we’re missing with Dillon (Brooks) leaving.” On Thornton: “He can hit the ground running.” Houston Rockets | Space City Home Network

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.

Reed Sheppard and Kevin Durant in December:

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

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

7.7 million views on YouTube 🤯 We had fun on Hoop Streams ahead of Game 1! Big thanks to Spike Lee &amp; Tracy Morgan for joining Iman. and me. Our show in case you missed it: Snippet of show below ⬇️

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!

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. 🚀

Congratulations Doc Rivers on being inducted into the Hall of Fame 🏀 Thanks for chatting with us today! And what a special moment with Kendrick Perkins… Basketball HOF

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

“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!

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!
