Houston Rockets rookie Tari Eason teamed up with Complex Sports to ask basketball fans in New York if anyone had heard of him. Most had not.
Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason gestures towards San Antonio Spurs forward Sandro Mamukelashvili after Eason's dunk during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Sunday, March 5, 2023, in Houston. Tari Eason put himself in rare company with the numbers he put up as a rookie. The 17th pick in last year's draft joinedsince the 1980-81 season.
Of course, when you do that on a team that won just 22 games, it doesn't mean anyone outside of Houston noticed. The 21-year-old proved that point when he teamed up with Complex Sports for their"Do You Know Ball?" segment and hit the New York City streets. Eason dressed rather inconspicuously — or as inconspicuous as a 6-foot-9 guy can be — interviewed people on the streets of New York and asked a simple question: Do you know who Tari Eason is?
Predictably, Eason was hit with negative responses, but he played along, even agreeing with someone who said,"He ain't a real player."
