    Cool. How many players have had their jersey retired by multiple teams?

    The sight of those banners irritates me every time. Rudy T is missing his HOF credentials.

    Honestly he’s HoF to everyone. He will be there.

    I’ll say the sight of Yao and Dawson are like ehh to me.

    I’ll get Yao hate for this.

    Very nice of the Sixers to honor Moses in that way. He deserves all the accolades he gets, whatever the source.

    Dream put up the championship banners
    Yao put up all the Chinese sponsored ads

    I mean, if Yao had Kobe instead of Tmac...

    Agree.

    I still associate Maxwell to 11. That’s just me. He’s ClutchCity and that matters most.

    Maxwell is always 11 to those who witnessed Clutch City

    Les gave Yao that number 11, the only number he cared about was in the billions

    That has to be carved on the statue somewhere, right?

    Very underrated amongst casual nba fans today.

    Did you guys see the poll during the Rockets/Kings game about who's the best player we got from a trade? (excluding Harden/CP3)



    Tmac over Malone, what a joke. Drex was a huge piece for our 2nd ring, but Malone was way better for the Rockets.

    New fans don’t care about history
    Rockets history
    Nba history
    I’m pretty sure world history too

    I wouldn't blame casual fans when the Rockets gloss over Moses contributions to Houston. Even in their 50 year book he isn't talked about as much.

    Twitter is a tool predominantly used by the youth. You put that same vote out by paper in the Yota and it'll be a different result.

    Malone isn't the only one in our rafters.
