If the Rockets get LeBron, does he automatically become the Greatest Rocket ever?

    He honestly wouldn't even pass Harden or Yao kinda 50/50 on T-Mac (Hakeem is the obvious player he wouldn't pass here). I'm sure Heat fans wouldn't slot LeBron over Wade either.

    Likewise if a top 2 once in a lifetime talent joins Cleveland at some point. He won't surpass LeBron.

    Would he be the “Greatest Rocket Ever?” No. Especially not to those who saw Hakeem in his prime.

    However, would he be the best player to ever put on a Rockets Jersey? Absolutely, unequivocally, yes!

    NO but I do believe if we win like 4-5 titles that since Hakeem's statue is on one corner there will be statues of Harden, CP3, and LBJ on the others.

    Pure

    Would anyone create a site with thousands of world wide users based on what LeBron did?

    If he brought home hardware, Instant leapfrog over any rocket without. Multiple championship run, even put him over over presumed teammates CP & JH. Never over HO just because he and MJ are my all league GOATs anyway

    I don’t penalize mercenaries. NBA is now a mercenary based league.

    I think we’re talking more about fan favorites, where tenure & struggling through the lean years matters

    Yep, we should immediately move #34's retired jersey out of the way to make room.

    win 4 in a row w/ 4 final MVPs, and 1 DPOY.

    i'll give him props. but i don't think Hakeem had that much help.

    Hakeem is becoming more and more underrated over time, it's a damn shame. for me, he's top-10 all-time no question. a lot of times the media puts Hakeem out of the top-10, total blasphemy.
