[1992-1993 season, I arrived in Miami.
It was very difficult for me, as I had been in Houston for 12 years.
It was like my second hometown.
My college and my basketball career both started there.
Leaving was not an easy decision, but it wasn't entirely my choice.
The Houston Rockets, after evaluation, felt that I could no longer lead the team to a breakthrough.
They lost faith in me and in winning a championship.
Especially not believing that I could defeat the Trail Blazers and Ah Gan.
I needed a team that was willing to trust me.
I suffered too much unjust treatment and criticism in Houston.
"Ball hog," "team wrecker," these were all biased remarks.
Given the circumstances, a mutual parting was the best option.
Everyone was shocked when the trade happened.
Fans in Houston hated me, thinking I betrayed the city.
I received some threatening calls, but there were also those who supported and encouraged me.
