Please join us Wednesday, June 26 at Dave & Buster's located on Richmond at Fountainview as we celebrate the Houston Rockets' No. 1 selection in the 2002 NBA Draft. The festivities are slated to begin at 4:00 p.m. CT.

Will Rockets fans be celebrating the selection of center Yao Ming? Or will Rockets GM Carroll Dawson pull off another draft-day stunner like he did last season when the Rockets traded their three first-round selections for Eddie Griffin? Either way, the buzz of the evening should be electric. Make plans now to join us!

A few of the highlights of the Rockets 2002 Draft Party presented by Gallery Furniture include:

  • Special appearances by Rockets players and broadcasters, the Rockets Power Dancers, Clutch "The Rockets Bear," and Turbo, the Rockets' dunking wizard.
  • Show your true Rockets colors! Be a Rockets Rowdy - paint your face and wear your Rockets gear to win great Rockets prizes (there will be a face painting station on site)
  • Rockets player autograph session (Pass required. While supplies last.)
  • Enter contests to win Rockets prizes
  • SportsRadio 610 will be on hand for a live remote from 4-8 p.m.
  • Plenty of food and drink available for purchase

    If you're not able to make it to the Draft Party, be sure to tune in to the new radio home of the Houston Rockets, SportsRadio 610, who will be broadcasting the festivities live at Dave & Buster's from 4:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
