Leaving off Rudy T is a joke. I don't see how you can not include a guy who was a 5 time all star as a Rocket and had 6 seasons of better than 19ppg and multiple seasons averaging a double double. I think a lot of you guys are missing the point that this lineup is supposed to be for what they did as Rockets not their total careers. You can put Pippen and his one season here avg 14ppg in the same class as a guy like Rudy who put up 5 all star seasons pre expansion era.

Love Rudy T and he sits just outside of the Rockets Great 5:

Hakeem Olajuwon
Moses Malone
Elvin Hayes
James Harden
Calvin Murphy

FYI, Yao averaged more points and double doubles for 7 years. And he was an NBA all star 8 years to Rudy's 5. But I include Rudy's tenure as championship coach so he would be our 6th man. Drexler and McGrady were better players too, just not with the Rockets.
