[Board Project] Top 20 All-Time Rockets (Spot #6) READ RULES 

Post#1 » by TMU » Mon Jun 9, 2008 9:25 pm

3 IMPORTANT RULES!!!
1. Members must consider former/current Rockets players only. Hence, PLEASE CONSIDER THEIR YEARS WITH THE ROCKETS ONLY!!!

2. We'll have a field of 5 candidates for each voting. Each member must vote one player from the field that is worthy to be in the Top 20 list.

3. Additionally, each member must nominate a candidate he/she feels should be added to the field for the subsequent ranking. This nomination is to replace the winner in the following vote.
(In each thread, we have a list of 5 candidates where one will be chosen as the winner. Since in every thread, we'll be voting one player off the list, it leaves only 4 candidates. Hence, the nomination is to include one player and make it a 5 candidate list for the next round.)

All former/current Rockets players are found here:

Charles Barkley?!?! he was injured most of the time...I'll go with my boy SF3.

Vote: Calvin

Rookie of the year, 3 time all star, one of the only 6-7 players ever to average 20pts, 6reb, 6ast. Also he was a very fun player to watch in his Rocket years, besides the plies of losses he piled up.

Vote: Calvin Murphy

Nominate: Ughh this franchise needs better players...I guess I'll reluctantly choose the former "franchise." Former franchise leader in turnovers factoring in amount of games played!! STEVIE!!

But seriously the dropoff between Hakeem/Moses and the rest is HUGE.
