Pregame: Artest Looks Probable

That is Ron Artest, shooting baskets in warmup clothes right now. It leads me to believe that he will play tonight.

In other news, the trip to Houston is always a good one for Dominique Wilkins, because it provides him the chance to spend some time with one of his favorite players from his era, Clyde Drexler (is it just me, or did NBA stars in the 80s have the best names ever?).

Clyde and Nique have a lot in common, in particular having had rather impressive careers that were overshadowed by a certain bald, tongue-wagging Chicago Bull that played at the same time.

Both played college ball near where they played professionally - Nique at Georgia, Drexler at Houston (Clyde is probably better known for his time with the Portland Trailblazers, but it was in Houston that he won a title), and both are currently handling color commentary duties for the Hawks and Rockets TV broadcasts, respectively.

 

It's always nice to see the living legends get together and reminisce...
