From Uruguay to Houston
Tab Ramos has seen the growth of soccer in the United States from many levels, from representing the U.S. Men's National Team in the 1988 Summer Olympics to appearing in three FIFA World Cup tournaments - Italy 1990, USA 1994, France 1998. Born in Uruguay and growing up in New Jersey, Ramos went on to a thirteen-year professional career as a player. In 2009, he was appointed the Head Coach of the U.S. Under-20 national team and served as assistant of the senior team during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He left U.S. Soccer in October to fill the Houston Dynamo Head Coach vacancy, his first job as a Manager in Major League Soccer.
Get to know the National Soccer Hall of Fame member in an exclusive interview with Glenn Davis, national soccer broadcaster and host of ESPN 97.5's Soccer Matters with Glenn Davis.
In a move that sent shockwaves through the NBA, the Houston Rockets have pulled off a blockbuster trade for Kevin Durant, acquiring the superstar forward from the Phoenix Suns. The deal comes at a steep price—Houston parts ways with Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and five second-rounders.
In this episode, we react to the stunning trade and break down what it means for the Rockets’ future. Is parting with Green and Brooks too much, or a necessary step toward contention? We examine the risks tied to Durant’s age and injury history, and what losing a defensive anchor like Brooks means for a young, evolving roster.
We also dive into what KD brings to the table—his scoring ability, his contract situation, and whether he can truly be "the guy" on a team that’s looking to take the next step. And if he can’t stay healthy come playoff time… was the gamble even worth it?
The Rockets just pushed all their chips in. The question now: did they bet on the right hand?
Be sure to watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein share their thoughts on the newest addition to the Rockets.
