Compile your All-Time Houston Rockets Roster

TheBomb81 · Post #1 » by **TheBomb81** » Thu Aug 15, 2013 6:25 pm

Compile your greatest of All-Time Houston Rockets 15-man roster.Don't consider the player based on his time in Houston,but in his prime days.For Example,Barkley & Pippen would be elegible to use,but don't based them on their old Rockets versions,but Sir Charles 76ers/Suns version & Pippen's Bulls version.

My Team:
PG-Steve Francis/Sam Cassell/Kenny Smith
SG-Clyde Drexler/James Harden/Cuttino Mobley
SF-Scottie Pippen/Tracy McGrady/Glen Rice
PF-Charles Barkley/Elvin Hayes/Robert Horry
C-Hakeem Olajuwon/Moses Malone/Yao Ming

Well this is my team and it's pretty hard to choose who to put on a team especially the center position.Despite Harden having a great season last year,I don't think he is in his prime yet,but either way I guess I could add him in place of Mobley or Maxwell.If you wanna add those guys you named on your team,go for it.

Save for No-Tippin' Pippen, that would probably be mine as well. Pip was probably my least favorite player to wear the Rockets uniform after his season here (mostly after he threw Barkley under the bus following his DUI). I'll move Rudy T to the starter, Horry and the Junkyard Dog, Mario Elie, as the backup SFs.

It's too bad that addiction claimed what could have been epic careers by Mitch Wiggins, Lewis Lloyd and John Lucas.

And I can't put Dwight on the list until he's actually played a season here! :lol:

I'll switch it up and pick my favorite players from when I started following the Rockets in 91

PG: Francis, Cassell, Lowry
SG: Harden, Drexler, Mad Max
C: Olajuwon, Howard, Mutumbo
SF: McGrady, Parsons, Jim Jackson
PF: Barkley, Horry, Scola, Chuckwagon

Hell that's a sick team! Starters are favorites by postion. Harder to do than you think! Had to leave off Battier, Landry, Cassell, Sura,Walt Williams, Ellie, etc

Whom are your least favorite Rockets of all time?

PG: Lin, Moochie, Strickland
SG: David Wesley, Kevin Martin, Shandon Anderson
C: Kelvin Cato, Ameachi, Thabeet
SF: Pippen, Ryan Bowen, Scott Padgett
PF: Mo Taylor, Juwan Howard, Weatherspoon

If we're seriously considering guys that didn't have their prime in Houston...I'd have the same team as most everyone except:

1.) I'd play Pippen at PG. I don't really care for any of the Rockets PG's, and Pippen could certainly do the job defensively. And he could handle...along with TMac, Drexler, Barkley, and Hakeem with a guy like Harden off the bench is more than enough playmaking to anchor an elite offense.

2.) Going way old school, Rick Barry deserves a mention. I'd also prob put '04 Artest on the team because he was incredible defensively...that'd be some volatile tempers though, lol. Add in a guy like E. Hayes, and that becomes a pretty dysfunctional bunch.

3.) Some other all-stars that didn't have their primes with H-Town are Oakley, Baker, B. Miller, G. Rice (his shooting would be sweet next to all these guys), Strickland, T. Rollins, and K.Willis.

I donno all about you, but my all time favorite Rockets Roster has to include Chuck Hayes. I didn't say he was in the top 5,10,15, but I enjoyed watching him a lot.
