    Slightly too young for the Hakeem era...although I acknowledge the greatness and he'd definitely be my favorite if I was a serious basketball fan around then. With that being said...it's gotta be either Stevie Franchise, Yao, or James Harden.

    Favorite player from another team is Vince Carter.

    I agree.. He was the reason i became a rockets fan (would have been a TOF if i knew about this forum or was old enough to comprehend the phrase at the time :p)

    I actually still have a poster of him right next to my DMO jersey (Currently my favourite rookie, come on McHale let him loose)

    Grew up watching Jordan. I knew about the rockets but really wasnt old enough to enjoy the greatness that was Hakeem Olajuwon. I really got into basketball watching Lakers Shaq and Kobe vs Iverson. Yao Ming/Francis and Yao Ming/T Mac serves my memories the best though

    As a kid?

    Rockets - Akeem
    NBA - Magic Johnson

    Man, those laker/celtic matchups during the 80's were just so amazing. Probably the greatest rivalry in professional sports history at it's peak.

    1) Houston - Hakeem

    2) Toronto - Hakeem (If for some reason, this is invalid then I guess I'll take Magic Johnson from the Lakers because his teams gave MJ fits or Dennis Rodman from various teams)
