The Rockets Rookies Dance Off

In the first of many rookie hazing endeavors, Tracy McGrady got on the mic during halftime of the Rockets game this weekend, calling all rookies to center court for a dance-off. Shane Battier gleefully explained that unless you have played a game in your second year, you’re still a rook. Thus, it feels like 3/4 of the team is dancing while Battier, Yao, McGrady, Artest, and co. watch. When it’s all done, Luis Scola can thank Brent Barry for the dance moves…

    minor correction: this wasnt a game. I think this was the open practice. The Rox dont play their first preseason game till 2nite.

    Scola = MVD!!

    Scola wins for not doing that stupid Supaman dance.

  3. Mista TKO says:

    That was hilarious,
    That’s something every team should do at least one time during the year.

  4. E$ says:

    Shaq and Dwight could put them to shame.
    These rooks need some moves

    Luisito rules, he is dancing an argentinian cumbia villera.

    He will smoothe as hell during the season and playoffs.

    Peace

    I love it; props to the organization. I’d love to see the vets dance though.

    Roooooon Artesssssst!

    It’s hard to dance to music that shitty. Give those guys a damn beat that doesn’t already have some corny dance already attached to it.

    o lordy does Shane Battier ever sound white-wash (no offense) He sounds like he’s runnin for office. I agree wit #7 that dude cannot be the one to haze me, its just not rite. Dorsey and next dude shoulda won, 7 footers actually doin get silly? Priceless. Brent Barry should get that trophy too he put Scola over the top

    Hahahaha awww man, that’s hilarious! Every team should do that tho. That seems like something that would improve team chemistry, with guys loosening up and laughing at each other and all. But then, I cant really picture a team like the Jailblazers getting into a good natured dance-off. Imagine Ruben Patterson battling Zach Randolph on the dance floor!
