Houston natives...basketball fans: you know what I'm talking about!

Who's been down to Fonde to check out some of the pickup games? Who have you seen there?

I've managed to get by there a few times. Some of the hoops I witnessed was simply spectacular!

I know that Westside has picked up over the years, but when I think of Houston and hoops, Fonde is always what I think of first.

Kam - you make it over here and we'll get you into Fonde!

...holy crap, I think I'm the only person here who has ever been there!

It's worth the trip if you're ever downtown - especially during the offseason!

ive never been.. i wanna go.

Yeah, that would be fantastic to see. I don't care how broken down and decrepit my aging body is. I will play some pickup ball in the US, (not at Fonde, I know that's for serious ballers!) Even if I get owned by every player, and laughed off the court!!!!

Good call with the Chris Jent avatar

One of the best cheerleaders the Rockets ever had!!!!!!!!

Is was at mile 13 of an 18 mile run one Saturday morning in 2009. I had reached Allen Parkway and Sabine and nature called. Now if you've ever run you'll know the only thing worse than being hungry when you're runninig is needing to take a **** while you're running. So I walked down to Sabine and into Fonde. At that point I asked the 6-8 janitor if I could use the bathroom. He said sure and I took one of the most satisfying dumps in my life. I then went to see this mythical court where Moses Malone and Akeem Olajuwon did battle. Come to find out, one Saturday morning it's used for girls' volleyball.
