    He was the backbone of the Rockets. It is great to see he picked the right team.

    I still remember being pissed when we lose him for Drexler. Sorry but I really didn't like Drexler until he helped won a championship for us. That twin tower of Hakeem and Otis is what I missed the most aside from the original twin towers.

    Yeah he's not that tall but I consider him a tower just the same due to his rebounding and defense. That and his efficiency in the offensive end.

    I still wonder why Drexlers number is up in the rafters and not Otis'. He deserves it

    He sacrificed his game alot to play next to Dream. He's one of my favorite rockets ever.

    Definitely need to honour that 93-94 team, the biggest snub of any decade team for th 45th anniversary of Rockets' existence was OT of that 90s team! Still wondering if the fans who voted are actually older than 12, if they are then they are not real fans, or if the Rockets decided he wasn't going to come anyway so we just put Elie / Horry / Kenny in.

    OT wasn't as vocal as the other guys or did he hit any game winning shots.
    Most fans today love the flash.

    People who watched the rockets then had to see OT play cause he never missed a game.

    This is true but him and Kenny ran a pick in roll second only to Stockton and Malone.

    Great to see OT, he looks good too. He is one of the original health nuts in the league. I got your spread 4 right between my legs. Give me OT!

    Arguably the best power forward the Rockets ever had.

    What are you smoking? He shot 43% from 3 for a season! ;)

    Seriously, how did that happen? 3 for 7 in 1990.
