The poll asked about the most hated rocket/ ex rocket . I just figured it would be pertinent to what the person did while he was with the rockets, not some analyst for a tv channel. If Barkley is going to included here because of his comments about the Rockets and Yao , then lets start a poll about the most hated broadcaster/analyst. If kids are going to quote twitter feeds of random scrubs then they are uninformed and its our job( your post seems to know what I am talking about ) to make sure they get their perspectives correct.
Why would we even mention scrubs like Thabeet and Williams? They are just guys moving on trying to make it in the league. Tmac gave us so many memories of single handedly trying to get us out of the first round of the playoffs with his injured teammates who were scrubs. Yao? He is too nice to hate. Guys on this list should be Barkley and Pippen. They never were really Rockets even though they wore the jersey. Kevin Martin is starting to gain some traction though. Mostly because he is a guy who gives up.
Trivia: When was the last time the Rockets made it to the Western Conference Finals? 1. with Tracy McGrady (in the real world, not in a stupid what if scenario or a TOF's NBA2k season where they purposely pick Kobe and have him stand there so Tracy can score points on him) 2. Pippen 3. Barkley
TMAC is the winner of this. By far. And I cannot imagine anyone who voted Yao. Without him we would of never got into the playoffs.
I don't think the newbies know. They are devastated we lost in the first round, and proclaim we "almost won a championship". Us oldies knew we were that close to the NBA finals, damn Utah.
Jeremy Lin. Without him the Knicks might have continued to implode, and got the Rockets a top 10 pick. Also, he made the Rockets FO look bad, which could have some impact with players in the future.
Ask Carmelo Anthony, when he left Denver, the Nuggets got better, when Carmelo got injured with the Knicks, they got a nice streak.
eiously how old are you? It's Pippen and bar noone.The b*stard turned up for one game all series agfainst the Fakers and after the playoffs proceeded to blame Charles and Olajuwon for quitten ways.
I believe the jersey was available, but he didn't even sniff it, so I put Derek on top of the list. I rate TMac higher than Pip because TMac plays a high standard, but played like a turd the last few seasons. Pip came here and saw that his fellow players weren't as fierce and competitive as Jordan, so he disrespects teammates more than the Rockets. Barkley was fun when has here, so he isn't on top of my list. Fish bait takes it in my eyes for disrespecting Rockets.
Anybody still remember Vassilis Spanoulis or V-Span? Great expectations, such a failure. Matter of fact when I think better he got Rockets Luis Scola so he was not that wasteful but then again...
Why aren't Barkley and Pippen on the list (not that I hate Barkley, but there are people with a strong opinion on him).
