The Houston Rockets hosted the Charlotte Hornets in their latest matchup. The Rockets and the Hornets are at the bottom of their respective conferences. But that does not mean that watching them play while sitting courtside makes it any less attractive. NBA fans got a real treat at this Rockets game as they saw Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) in attendance. 

Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul starred in the hit TV show, ‘Breaking Bad’, which has won several awards during its tenure. The show ran for five seasons and became a huge hit among fans instantly.

A bright future for the Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets may be at the bottom of their conference but they have arguably one of the best young cores in the league. The Rockets already have a star in the making in Jalen Green, who is leading the team in scoring.

Kenyon Martin Jr. on the other hand is surely making his father proud with his high-flying antics on the floor, as is Jabari Smith Jr., both players whose father’s played in the league before them.

Kevin Porter Jr. is another gem that the Rockets have landed. However, perhaps the real jackpot that landed in the lap of the Rockets franchise is their center from Turkey, Alperen Sengun.

The 16th pick in the 2021 NBA draft, nobody expected Sengun to be the player he is today. He has really blossomed into something else and may be following in the footsteps of back-to-back MVP, Nikola Jokic.
