[Board Project] Top 20 All-Time Rockets (Spot #16)

[tosweet68]

Heh. Yeah got to screwing around a bit with my noms around the last round or two, I'll just stop instead. Not too sure who to nominate anymore since it's all role players at this point (Scottie Brooks anyone?)

Really don't want to see Barkley come in before #19 or 20.

People need to not think of Barkley in his TV role and think about his days as a Rocket. He is way better than the 19 or 20 best player the Rockets ever had. He was a rebounding machine with the Rockets.

And a "throwing-guys-through-windows machine" too.

I'm not thinking a thing of his TV role in saying that. More that I never liked that trade at all and thought that getting him helped cost us several years in rebuilding. Didn't like that it cost us Horry and Cassell either.

Vote: Rodney

Nominate: Nobody. There are already enough nominees to fill out the top 20. Let's just vote from here on out. 'Nominations', at this point, are mathematically unnecessary.

(Though I am still pissed about the exclusion of so many quality 'old school' Rockets.)
