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

He'd be the greatest player that ever played for the Rockets, but not the greatest Rocket. If he got us 3 rings then maybe.

 

Rather live in Dream house than live with a King.

 

Its gay to want to live with any of em tho.

 

Dream started in Houston
In college

His championships were PURE

 

Depends on how he performs at 34 and beyond. Lebron has been coasting through the regular season and playing terrible defense all year.

He only turns it on the playoffs. However, on this team he can basically coast and still get efficient stats in the regular season.

 

Weird thread

 

Automatically? No. Even over time? Very questionable. You'd be comparing with Hakeem (also one of the greatest players to ever play the game) who spend essentially his entire career here, and Moses, who spent 6 very productive years here. Harden would be in the conversation too, also with a much longer tenure. Greatest player on a team has to take longevity into account, for impact/stats over their entire tenure.

 

No one will ever surpass the Dream in my mind. He would average 50 points a game in this era. Just imagine not being able to put your hand on Hakeem while he is posting up.

 

Would he? I'm not positive he's better than Hakeem, who is underrated IMHO. Is LeBron better defensively? Rebounder? No to both (LeBron is very good defensively, but centers have an advantage in blocks etc, and Hakeem was outstanding at that). LeBron ever even come close to a quadruple double? Quintuple?

 

LOL. Forget he ever was! Maybe not even top...fifty Rockets?

 

Yes, better than when the dream won it all in 99.

 

If Lebron signs in Houston, Toyota Center would be called Lebron Center

 

He's saying he wants all the members to only be old people and all the thread topics should only be about those two championship years.

 

Yes, he is a destructive force, he will wipe out half of the population here, and restore 'his way of balance' - likely 99ers.

 

No. He'd be the greatest player to ever wear a Rockets jersey, but "greatest Rocket" is a cumulative award, and that's Hakeem's.

 

If he wins 3 titles and agrees to go into the HOF as a Rocket i will crunch the numbers and consider it.

 

Hakeem has a statue at Toyota Center. If Lebron wins more than Hakeem's, he will not get a statue at Toy Center unless....... he buys, or share the team with Mr Rocket (Fertitta).

 

Harden and Hakeem will still lead a lot of lists.. so no.
