Rockets fulfill a wish and make the most important signing of the NBA season

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Bryson Jones’ wish was to be a member of the Houston Rockets. He got to see that realized, if only for a day. The team signed the 16-year-old with a degenerative muscle disorder to a one-day contract, helping to fulfill his dream with the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Jones spent time with the team on and off the court, while being presented with his own personalized jersey. This is all so cool.
