Rockets Build Grit With Smart and Eason | NBA News
Description
Houston’s offseason got spicy as they landed Marcus Smart on a two-year, $13M deal and snagged Bogdan Bogdanović on a veteran minimum — moves that sparked buzz from rapper Silkk The Shocker, who raves about Smart’s defense and calls Tari Eason the glue guy Houston needs. Eason’s four-year, $81.5M extension shocked even him — he just posted “I guess bruh” — but it didn’t sit well with everyone online. Critics piled on, prompting Eason and his mom Teroya to fire back hard, calling out haters and hypocrisy. While the Rockets are clearly building a gritty, competitive roster, the personal battles on social media remind us: basketball’s never just about the game.
