The young and rebuilding Rockets (1-9) currently own the NBA’s worst record. But many fans in Houston aren’t too down, at the moment, in large part because their attention has been elsewhere.
For the second time in the last five full seasons, Major League Baseball’s Astros won the World Series on Saturday with a 4-1 home victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. The 2022 championship clearly reduces the angst by local fans directed at teams like the Rockets and the NFL’s Houston Texans, who are each mired in rebuilds.
When the Astros previously won the World Series in 2017, the only current Rockets player who was on the team at that time — and thus, clearly has the most significant connection with the city and its other sports teams — is veteran guard Eric Gordon.
Thus, it’s no surprise that Gordon responded very favorably to Houston’s championship on Saturday, even though it came less than an hour after the Rockets lost their own game in Minnesota.
Scroll on for reaction from Gordon, the official Rockets’ social media accounts, and other Rockets-Astros connections from 2022.
