Rockets All-Time Players Roster has to be top 3 in NBA History

The premise of this thread is pretty much nonsense because you can't include players on an "All Time" Rockets list just because they played for the Rockets at some point (usually on the downside of their careers). There has to be some methodology for assigning each player to one team and only one team when making rosters or otherwise you end up with nonsense like Pippen as an "All Time" Rocket or Dream as an "All Time" Raptor, which everyone know is ridiculous.

To go on an "All Time" team, the player should probably have played the majority of his career with that team, or at least his peak years. Hakeem is an All Time Rocket. You can debate whether Barkley was a 76er because he had more years there or a Sun because he won a MVP, but in no way should he go on a Rockets list. And you can debate about whether Drexler goes on the Blazers for the longer tenure or better production, or the Rockets where he won a title, but Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony certainly should not be going on any Rockets list.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

 

I mean, just adding Hakeem and Durant at PF/C with Harden and CP3 is already so absurd.

If you’re playing an all Star game, just add T-Mac.

If you’re trying to win a title, just add Battier or Ariza.

 

You had two tries and misspelled Horry twice.

 

That is indeed Horry-ble.

 

Jeremy Lin
Jalen Green
Jim Jackson
Juwan Howard
Jared Jeffries

 

Nah. Horry couldn’t possibly guard elite wings in this era (would be a PF and small ball C) and Durant does everything Horry does anyway.

At the SF/wing I want someone who will guard the LeBron/MJ/Kobe’s of the world. Ariza and Battier are historically as good as you can reasonably be at that.
