[Board Project] Top 20 All-Time Rockets (Spot #15)

Post #1 » by **TMU** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 6:41 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:

Vote : Rodney McCray (all-around numbers and the fact that I've been playing pickup ball with him for years. He's a nice guy.)

Nominate : World B. Free. From here on out, my votes are based solely on the entertainment value of the player's name.

I don't want to see Barkley win out for a WHILE considering how bad of a trade he was.
