According to Wikipedia, the incident you're relating to was when (Juwan) Howard shoved a Basketball into the face of Toronto Raptors' guard Mike James, upon an exchange of the two players after Howard fouled James, while James was on a drive to the hoop. Howard was then suspended one game, with no pay.
Rockets are propelled forward by thrust generated by the combustion of rocket fuel and controlling the direction of the exhaust.

The rocket is pushed forwards by the reaction to the force ejecting gas in the opposite direction to the direction of travel of the rocket. Rocket flight is an example of Newton's 3rd law of motion, which states that every action (force) has an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the action is the ejection of rocket gas and the reaction is the forward force on the rocket.
A rocket moves forward by expelling high-speed exhaust gases out of its engines, following Newton's third law of motion which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As the gases are forced out of the rocket at a high velocity, the rocket experiences a thrust in the opposite direction, propelling it forward.
The gases in the fuel chamber of the rocket combust and push on the inside of the rocket, propeling it forward or upward. This is because in space there is nothing for a rocket to push of off, except itself.
A Rocket
The forward motion of a rocket is caused by the expulsion of high-speed exhaust gases from the combustion of rocket fuel. Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, so the force of the expelled gases propels the rocket forward.
Thrust
The way rockets work is by modifying the velocity and body-gyro of the rocket brick. In simplified terms, after thee rocket is "created" the script detects and saves the direction the rocket is pointing.The script uses the body gyro to lock the rocket brick in the said direction and suspend the rocket in the air; then it modifies the velocity to propel the rocket forward.
There is no such thing. Tickets for the Houston Rockets basketball team can be purchased at the stadium or on Stub Hub. Nobody buys tickets to go flying in a rocket.
The back part of a rocket is called the rocket nozzle. It is responsible for directing the flow of exhaust gases to generate thrust and propel the rocket forward.
