Houston, Texas aka. Titletown, USA?

I won’t go into this much because people might consider my opinions to be yellow journalism and I have one thing to add. But I talked about the possibility of us winning another championship within the same year. We won a World Series in 2017. Now we have a great chance to win an NBA Championship. If we win the championship, we have a chance to repeat in the World Series. Now how cool would that be to win two titles for the same city in the same year? Philadelphia already has done that with a Super Bowl and recently, an NCAA Men’s Basketball title with Villanova. Charles Barkley wants the 76ers to win the title.

When has a team won two professional titles in the same city in the same year? Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania had a Super Bowl and a Stanley Cup in the same year of 2009, even though the Steelers had their 2008 season. Boston won a World Series and a Stanley Cup in the 2007-08 year. They also won a World Series and a Super Bowl in 2004-05. So yes, it’s happened before.

It’s not easy to win a championship for your city in any sport. It’s not easy to win two professional sports titles for one city in a year. But if there was a city now that could do so, it’s Houston. We have the best record in the Western Conference. Our baseball team has a World Series ring and

could repeat. If our Texans get going, look out America. Will it happen for us to win two in one year? Maybe or maybe not. But is it ok to think about it? Yes, because Houston swagger is back in business.

Well, I hope I explained myself better on the reasons behind it. Maybe it gave you a better understanding. Perhaps it didn’t. But I am ready for another championship and we should all be ready too. Let’s just get ready for another exciting postseason with the Houston Rockets and enjoy it while we can.

Conclusion

My first live Houston Rockets game was in 1997. I’ve lived in Houston for much of my life. I wish I could remember watching the Rockets win the titles live back in 1994 and 1995. So I do hope the Houston Rockets win it all this year. It won’t be easy, but I think we can do it.

I am a passionate Houston sports fan willing to give my opinion. I’m proud to represent this blog and I would also like to encourage fellow Houston sports fans to join. Together, we can express an understanding of why Houston has some of the best fans out there.

If you have a disagreement with my opinion, feel free to let me know. But do so in a way that’s respectful and generous because I don’t want you to get in trouble. We can talk about it and if we see eye-to-eye in some regards, then that’s ok.

I’m proud to be a Houstonian. Yes, I’m proud to be Houston proud and Houston strong. I’m proud to be cheering for Clutch City. Don’t ever underestimate the heart of a champion.
