    Who do you think is the most underrated Rocket of all-time?

    I would have to go with either Murphy, (even though he is in the Hall of Fame) or Allen Leavel. Rudy might even be on that list.

    Hakeem Olajuwon. For what he has accomplished, he is certainly the most underrated Rocket ever.

    Mark Bryant... guy always did a great job backing up Dream and playing in his stead when Hakeem got injured. Guy had an ugly hook shot, but he managed to get the job done.

    Mike Newlin or Allen Leavell. I also always like Kevin Kunnert.

    I'm underated??? Yes, but not for the same reason as my man Otis Thorpe. He used have some MAJOR battles under the hoop. WWF got nothing on the things OT used have to deal with to get rebounds. The ultimate blue collar worker. He battled his a$$ off and never complained to the refs. I guess he complained in the locker room and that's why he is not around anymore.

    Jordan couldn't even pentrate on him but the only media he got was the media he deserved.
    But as for skills, Max had em' all.

    Olajuwon. Dream hardly ever gets the recognition he deserves. His name should be mentioned with the all-time greats but usually gets overlooked.

    Ralph Sampson -- Dude was an awesome player before he was injured. We oftentimes bag on him as a waste, forgetting how good he was.

    Rudy Tomjonavich -- He was an awesome SF. I wish we had a player like him on our team now . . .

    A lot of good candidates here. But there is a glaring ommission: Chucky Brown. Remember Barkley saying 'Who's Chucky Brown?' in the playoffs before getting held to 0-10 shooting by great D by Brown (with a lot of double-teaming by Horry and others).

    How could anyone even consider putting Calvin Murphy(who is a Hall of Famer) or Dream(who will not only be a Hall of Famer, but was also voted to the 50 Greatest Ever list)in a group of underrated Rockets? Ridiculous. Rocket River gets my vote.

    When a discussion of the greatest centers of all time is on,Moses is often left out.He's at least on the list...underrated.
