well #1 is pretty much alock
i'm just nominate for the #2 spot
wanted to nominate Rudy T
because he's our only coach to win the champ
but don't know much about him as a player
we retired his jersey i guess he can't be too bad right?

Vote: Dream, easily. Championships, regular season MVP, finals MVP, DPOY, and a Top 5 big man of all time.
Nomination: This is where it gets tougher, I'd like to say someone else, but guys like Sampson's prime didn't last long to sperate himself from the rest (though did go to the finals) and Kenny just isn't good enough IMO to be nominated now.
Breakdown
McGrady in the 4 years he's been in Houston has been a 3 Time NBA All-Star, 3 Time All-NBA and has finished 3 times in the Top 10 of MVP voting.
Sampson was a 4 time NBA All-Star, NBA Rookie of the Year, All NBA Second team once, and helped Hakeem and the Rockets to the NBA finals where he averaged 20/11/4 on .518 shooting throughout the entire finals.
Rudy T, as a coach led the Rockets to two championship rings and as a player was a 5 time NBA all-star (all for the Rockets) and was generally a 20/8/2 guy on .525 FG%. His playoff success wasn't that great though considering they only made it 5 times in his career (10 year career). But from a playyer standpoint which this is, I don't think he's a greater player than either Mac or Ralph.
I'll just go with Mac, because I think the 4 years he's meant more the team than anybody else and has had at least some individual success. Hopefully TEAM success is in the near future.

Nominate Moses Malone
I can't believe a multiple NBA MVP is getting so little recognition here.

Vator, Moses is already listed on the 5-candidate field.
