Rockets Blasts from the Past: He's not a cookie, he's Von Wafer

Let's go back to a simpler time: 2009.

The "Jersey Shore" is still a thing. GM just killed Saturn cars and gas was around $1.84 (hey's it's almost back to that!). Amazing right? Who want's to go back? I know I do.

I mainly want to go back because it was a pretty fun time to be interested in Houston Rockets basketball. Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady were still a thing - well, kinda. 2009 was about it for the duo; T-Mac would have season-ending knee surgery — and they'd make it out of the first round of the playoffs.
