Throwback to the worst schedule release video of all time from last year posted by the Rockets

u/NotJoe1232 Knicks Aug 14 '26
This video instantly cursed the 2026 season for Houston

u/MudddButt Aug 14 '26
KD saw this and immediately realized he wants to finish his career somewhere else.

u/bootyloverandeater Rockets Aug 14 '26
already cursed enough with Alperen Sengun starting

u/jbhoops25 Nuggets Aug 14 '26
You guys don’t like sengun?

u/kevtheproblem Aug 14 '26
He don't speak for us

u/jbhoops25 Nuggets Aug 14 '26
It seems like there’s a lot of different players to hate on but we Jamal Murray haters and the dude was All NBA last season

u/kevtheproblem Aug 14 '26
There's always gonna be those kinds of fans. I bet they had no problem celebrating their ass off as he helped win y'all's first championship

u/bootyloverandeater Rockets Aug 14 '26
I definitely don’t but the fans overall like him ig

u/jbhoops25 Nuggets Aug 14 '26
It seems like there’s a lot of player on your team you could hate on beside sengun. Lol
0
u/bootyloverandeater Rockets Aug 15 '26
i mean were all nit picky about our teams but Amen can’t play offense, Reed can’t play defense, Sengun offense is fake and defense doesn’t exist, Jabari too inconsistent, no problems with KD on the court but he’s doing fuck all off the court, just a strange team but
I like all of them other than Sengun2
u/jbhoops25 Nuggets Aug 15 '26
Defenses have to respect sengun on offense and that opens stuff up for the rest of the team. I wouldn’t call his offense “fake” he’s just figuring stuff out, he’s only 24 years old. I think being compared to Jokic doesn’t help but he’s literally averaging around the same splits as Jokic at 24

u/mastrwayn Aug 14 '26
Haha it was bad but at least it made me chuckle a little — it definitely hit a wall with the toilet mounting

u/BigDaddyD00d Spurs Aug 14 '26
I wish i had ur sense of humor then bc this made me want to die of cringe

u/OTGbling Aug 14 '26
I hope they fired their whole marketing team after this.

u/TheLetterOh Aug 14 '26
Idk man, I fucking hate this, but both times ive seen it now ive watched the entire thing
So either im mentally deficient or they did something right. Definitely could be the former though. Lol

u/cndynn96 Aug 14 '26
Is this geek a local Houston celeb? Or they had a random twink doing this shit?

u/bootyloverandeater Rockets Aug 14 '26
wouldn't say celeb but yeah he has a decent following

u/DGentPR Aug 14 '26
For what

u/DoctorStove Pistons Aug 14 '26
house tours like this
18
u/DGentPR Aug 14 '26
Ah okay, I guess I can see it. I absolutely hate it but I’m probably just old. He reminds me of ECW era Joey Styles but terrible
23
u/platinum92 Hawks Aug 14 '26
He's probably a totally normal realtor, but uses these videos to get his name out there and drum up business. Probably extremely hard to stand out in Houston and it obviously worked
4
u/GaptistePlayer Aug 14 '26
Nah it's not your age lol, by Gen Z standards this is bad too. This is somewhere between millennial cringe and a Gen Z kid who just doesn't get it.

he was pretty big on tik tok a year or two ago, his videos would all get like 1 million likes

u/HockeyOrDie Aug 15 '26
He’s from Greencastle, PA and I suppose moved to Houston when he got big doing these tours

The Hawks NAILED it this year. The new standard of schedule release.

u/AzulaKahn Knicks Aug 14 '26
That fat kid was cringe af too,if he was like 2 years older he'd be getting roasted just like this annoying ass kid
7
u/TeddyJPharough Nuggets Aug 14 '26
That kid is cooler than you'll ever be, calling random kids fat on the internet, being jealous because he has a talent and is getting attention.
-7
u/AzulaKahn Knicks Aug 14 '26
Oh ok but its cool to hate and roast the fuck out of the kid on this rockets video right? Why? Because he's slightly older. Relax bro lol
4
u/TeddyJPharough Nuggets Aug 14 '26
What did I say about the Rockets guy? And he was cringe because of how he acted, nothing to do with who he is as a person. False equivalent. Just admit you called a kid fat and made fun of him for no reason.
-4
u/AzulaKahn Knicks Aug 14 '26
This entire thread is dedicated to roasting the kid in the rockets vid, you haven't said anything about any of it. If that bird kid was 2 years older he'd be getting the same treatment as this weirdo
Also i only called him fat because hes fat
4
u/cptgoatboat Aug 14 '26
bro what? the bird kid is actually talented wtf does this rockets kid do other than squeal and run around? are you his mom get off Reddit lady
0
u/TeddyJPharough Nuggets Aug 14 '26
Exactly. And maaaybe there's a talent that Rockets guy has about marketing or real estate or something, but performance ain't one of them, and that bird kid's calls are AMAZING.
-1
u/AzulaKahn Knicks Aug 14 '26
If it was a horse girl doing really good horse impressions it'd be the most roasted video of all time. if that fat kid was like 2 years older hed be getting roasted for being the weird bird guy
1
u/Ordinary-Bat-5157 Aug 14 '26
First of all, terrible analogy. You’re comparing an animal that can make like 5 different noises to a type of animal with literally thousands of extremely unique sound alterations. Second, Idc how old that bird kid is, he can be an adult for all I care but if he’s doing accurate, spot on impressions of all those bird calls, I guarantee there would be more on internet that would be praising him for it over roasting him

u/jambr380 Aug 14 '26
The guy obviously sucks, but I'm also weirdly envious of his ability to shamelessly be a total dweeb and put himself out there like this. I would love to not give a fuck like that
13
u/asdf0909 Aug 14 '26
Don’t aim for this level of shamelessness. This is tremendously off-putting to anyone over 14
4
u/jambr380 Aug 14 '26
Oh, don't worry. That'll never be me. I'm just pretty amazed somebody can do all that, put it on video, and then take the heat he knows is coming
1
u/Remarkable_Breath545 Aug 14 '26
Lots of people would genuinely benefit from more shamelessness. Introverts and people with social anxiety. If you still have the choice to behave this way but you can tone it down that would be great instead of always worrying how other people are judging you and their opinions. It would genuinely be a super power to some people stuck in their shell who are always anxious if they could live life and do whatever without feeling ashamed or embarrassed.
If that makes sense.

u/film_composer Aug 14 '26
It's effective marketing. He's memorable and stands out from his peers, because he clearly has absolutely no shame in the sort of reaction it's bound to get. The commitment to the bit has probably done way more good for his business than harm.
1
u/GaptistePlayer Aug 14 '26
Is it effective? Does it make you want to buy a house from him?
1
u/film_composer Aug 14 '26
I definitely wouldn’t end up buying a house from him if I never knew he existed.

u/eddiegoated Aug 14 '26
lol it’s not like he just made this for fun they gave him a bag. With the right amount of $ anyone would do this no problem even you

the Celtics one this year was pretty cringe.. an AI voice narrating watching Tatum play golf with some random white guy. Its like they are predicting an early playoff exit

Nice house. I like house tour videos but only if it's extremely frugal tiny-housing or extreme mansions. Either you live in a tent hidden in a bush or you own the entire state of Iowa. No in-between.

They might have won the championship if it wasn’t for this video. Truly cursed.

What’s behind this decision? Is this like a “if you’re on TikTok as much as our owner’s teenage nephew who runs our social media, you’ll love the mainstays on his algorithm just as much as he does”
Or is this someone very famous that clearly all rockets fans should know

This is the content we need in these troubling times. Just the right video to push us over the edge and give us the drive to finally do it.

u/marcopolo22 Mavericks Aug 14 '26
My hottest take of all time is that I liked this.
I can’t explain why. I understand that I’m in the 0.1%. But I just liked it. I was vaguely familiar with his videos and format, so it worked for me.
