Patterson is, however, the Rockets' only rookie, subjected to the entire focus of teammates' hazing. Since Ish Smith was traded, Patterson alone carries a garish, polka-dot backpack at all times. When Patterson played for the first time this season, he was congratulated with a shaving cream pie in the face. When he returned to the locker room on Monday, his birthday was celebrated with a mountain of popcorn.
"I walked back to my locker and there was nothing but popcorn," Patterson said. "Popcorn in my pants. Popcorn in my pockets. Popcorn in my bookbag. Popcorn in my shoes. I'm surprised they didn't do anything to my car.
"I don't like popcorn anymore. They ruined me."
