held their second annual back-to-school bash Saturday at the SunnySide Community Center. During the event, the Rockets and representatives from Reliant Energy passed out school supplies and backpacks. With the help of Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, they also held free health screenings and scoliosis testing. Local barbers provided free haircuts, and a chef even taught lessons on how to cook healthy meals.
In addition to the free supplies and health screenings, the Rockets hosted a basketball clinic for the kids in attendance. Rockets forwardand former Houston Rocket Rafer Alston helped lead the clinic, practicing drills and providing insight to the participants on different aspects of being a basketball player. Tate also spoke about being able to give back to the community.
Alston and his elite ball handling were, in many ways, the inspiration for the AND 1 Mixtape Tour, which grew in popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Alston would go on to have a long NBA career, playing over ten years, including four seasons for thefrom 2005 to 2009.
