    G: Aaron Brooks
    G: Vernon Maxwell
    F: Tracy McGrady
    F: Scottie Pippen
    C: Thomas Hamilton

    Bench: Von Wafer

    Couldn't really think of a center. Didn't Hamilton tell Rudy to go f- himself or something in practice once?

    He quit the team plane, not the team!

    I think you have to have either 1) demanded a trade (pippen) or 2) refused to play (tracy) or 3) thrown a tantrum about playing time and walked out (Maxwell, Wafer, Brooks)

    Yao should be coach selected to this team. He didn't quit but his body did...

    Hakeem was suspended for skipping games because the Rockets wouldn't renegotiate his contract. I believe he also was demanding a trade that season.

    My prediction: Brooks will win 2 DPOY, 1 MVP, and 2 championships in the next three years.

    With VSPan, Brooks and Wafer you also have the building blocks of the Rockets All-Time DaDakota jinxed Rocketes team.

    Start V-Span on the All-Quitters team, and bring Brooks off the bench.

    But then you risk that he leaves the game before it's over. He wants to start, damnit!
