As many of you know, I've been studying ancient Chinese texts for quite some time now. Yesterday, while performing a routine inventory of my ancient scroll collection in my temperature-controlled storage facility, one of these extremely rare, rice paper scrolls slipped from my hand. Smack! The fragile document hit the floor and unraveled at my feet. Glaring down in frustration at the uncoiled scroll's myriad Chinese characters strewn before me, I found something simply astonishing. It's my pleasure to share with you this astounding discovery.
As you can plainly see, one of the ancient Chinese characters (no longer in use) written on this scroll looks eerily similar to that of the Houston Rockets logo. It's no accident. I have to give credit to the Rockets' marketing department for the brilliant logo concept. With Yao Ming as the face of the franchise, it makes perfect sense to create a team identity easily digestible by the expansive and rapidly growing Chinese fan base. And, of course, red works pretty well too...
