Emilio Longoria is completing his JD at the University of Texas Law School in Austin, and has been busy taking internship and summer associate positions. As a form of relaxation, Emilio Longoria enjoys watching and cheering for his favorite NBA team, the Houston Rockets.
Among the top teams in the Western Conference, midway through the 2016-17 season, the Rockets made sure that one of the league’s elite players would still be with them for a number of years. In July 2016, they signed MVP candidate James Harden to a contract extension until the end of the 2019-20 season, in a deal worth $118 million. The team has also bolstered its lineup with the addition of Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson.
Team owner Leslie Alexander bought the Rockets for $85 million in 1993, and according to Forbes magazine’s February 2017 valuation, the team is now worth $1.65 billion, the eighth most valuable in the NBA. The Rockets produced a net operating income of $62.7 million on revenues of $244 million. Its location in Houston places the team in an area with a metropolitan population of 6.3 million.
